Here's another example I just came across, probably could find a better:

real girl:


elite

made to look very much like a boy:



attractive.hu

for me there's no difference. I cannot see any curves which are the thing that differ guys from girls

Whereas straight women seem to like girls here seem to like Eugenia and Daria, and other models who are un-offensively beautiful. Like you like looking at them but you wouldn't neccessarily want to have their face (I hope this makes sense). Gay women here seem to like very tall and thin models who have more masculine faces like Masha, Freja and Olga.

".

i'm very gay and i adore daria's beauty, who imo is an exstraordinary mixture of masculine and feminine. a real 21st century trasngender beauty.

[xPedro]

Daria's beauty is different, that's why she made such a big success, she's definetly one of the most beautiful models ever

[taben]

Transgender beauty? I don't think Daria looks anything like a man... Same with Eugenia, whom a lot of haters call a man

[eword]

transgender doesn't mean 'looking like a man'.
anyway, i just wanted to make a point that many gay girls like daria, talking about transgdender would be out of place here.

[MissAnia]

Here are some "old-school" models with great bodies. Too bad that we cannot see such models in magazines now!

Laetitia Casta

How is "transgender" beauty different from a woman's beauty then? and I said she looks "nothing" like a man, meaning i don't think she looks remotely masculine, but that's my personal opinion.


Anyways I remember some people said Maryna Linchuk had big thighs... Who agrees/disagrees? Needless to say, i don't great legs

[xmodel citizen]

^ I've also seen people say Behati has big thighs (someone even said she had HUGE thighs ) and that Laeticia Casta is chubby/fat. I disagree on all 3 counts.

Even VS girls have gotten thinner and thinner over the years. Now they just seem to be HF girls with ridiculous tans and fake boobs (Flavia, Alessandra, Izabel, etc). I'd prefer a more natural, curvaceous but strong look over what they have today.

[bryanboy]

I agree that snejana single-handedly resurrected the waif.

now everyone is trying to outthin each other!

[taben]

all hail the diva

100 % agree!! I don't think a model is just a clothing hanger, it's a person, and the clothes looked sooooooo much better on back then. How sad this scary thin culmination is

[papa_levante]

Well, clothes look better on thinner figures (IMO) because there's less fabric, etc. But I would rather see clothes on regular people so that I know how it'll look on a body type similar to mine own.

[Fontenrose]

for me there's no difference.

It was the same girl in both pictures. However, the ad campaign suppressed all the feminine attributes of the young model. Thighs, breasts, rounded upper arms are seen as undesirable, which should be very offensive to women.

The ultra-thin esthetic is cruel and harmful. These models are not made of clay.

[Fontenrose]

It's not the girls. They just have to meet the demand. from photographers and designers. who fancy themselves abstract artists. They want plainness, oddness and to make girls look like boys. They'd rather have the boys and get rid of the girls altogether, but no one will quite let them get away with that, since we won't look at boys.

But I would rather see clothes on regular people so that I know how it'll look on a body type similar to mine own.

That generally (not in your case I'm sure) doesn't even work in a catalog. But we do want to look at pretty girls who are allowed to be pretty.

I personally don't think Michelle Buswell or Fernanda Tavares or Eugenia Volodina have normal bodies. I dunno if you were saying the girls at the Versace show weren't thin or not
