The Model & Celeb Weight Thread [Read post #1 before posting] #1

[smartarse]

how is it creepy? it's just like asking a friend to ask his/her friend's acquaintance's friend if he/she is available. same thing. same scenario. and we've all done it in our lives, it's just with noncelebrity and nonpublic personalities do not have publicists and agents as our liasons.

There is something wrong when the models have no more weight to lose, unless it's from their heart or something!

Okay, so that's an exaggeration, but you can't deny some of the models posted here are far too skinny already and shouldn't be encouraged to lose more weight!

It's creepy because it's like ordering a pizza.

[smartarse]

but then again you all see it from a photograph and not in person. i personally don't see alot of the girls being talked about here as losing more weight than the last time they saw a pix of her. i've seen many of the models personally and no red flag that i can see in regards to their weight. perhaps, as they matured they lose some of their baby fat. but other than that, nothing alarming.

[smartarse]

...now ,what you can really tell whether it be on photograph or in person is when they gain weight.

[Fontenrose]

I think that on most girls the weight goes to thighs first. It doesn't take much of a weight gain to show there.

When I can see the bones in someone's chest below the collar bone, I tend to think that's not healthy. That's what you see in someone who has been very ill.

... they, as you, deserve to have a relationship too, no matter how it came about.

i'm not discounting those that purposely lose weight when they're already thin. i'm sure there are [unknown] models that do.

Haven seen Kim in NYC nor in Milan yet. Hope she is not seriously ill from beeing to underfed for a long time .

[smartarse]

there are people who are small on top. it's just their body composition.

[Fontenrose]

Funny how their body composition sometime changes.

[smartarse]

if you guys want to see girls looking sickly than read about the Australian Twins! i forgot their names. but they have been a subject of media attention for 2 yrs now or probably longer...

You seriously think Kim Noorda and Natasha Poly just "lost some baby fat"? I'm sorry, but to say no models have lost extreme amounts of weight (it's generally harder to detect weight loss on a taller person so I'm assuming if a 5'10" female goes from "normal" thin to emaciated, she lost more than 5 lbs) is ludicrous to say the least. Most of us here have properly functioning eyes and can tell when someone goes from having adequate fat, muscle and flesh to cover their bones to concave cheekbones, exposed breast plate, washboard ribs, protruding collar bone, etc. I can name numerous well-known models who have lost plenty of weight and yes, it's quite obvious because we have evidence from earlier in their careers.

And it's perfectly OK for a 29 year old man to "arrange" a date with a 17 year old minor as long as they're both "celebrities" or one is a model? But I'm assuming then that it's NOT ok for a 29 year old "noncelebrity" man to hop online and "arrange a date" with a minor?

BMI calculation is off when you compare someone who is mostly stationary (rarely travels and hardly on the go) as opposed to a model who constantly on-the-go. constantly traveling. you have to battle diet and time difference. adjusting to time zones which wacks their body clock. it all comes into consideration.

because i travel for business and it just wacks my body and brains. it's exhausting. what more for a young model who travels 87% more than the average business exec?

[smartarse]

and when i travel abroad on business (not as much as the models do) i see these girls hoping on the same flight , some to a connecting flight others to the same destinations. they are constantly flying. it takes a toll on ones body. and being young as they are even more. so i do not agree with BMI measurements when it comes to models. it's very unfair for them to be subject to such.
