They were posted but not in that quality, thanks.

 

[OriginalSin]

Really? Cause I remember non-getty images being posted without the watermark. And getty images being posted with the watermark...

I don't remember getty images without the watermark.

Oh well. That's why I rarely post images in this thread There's little point it seems lol.

mm I don't know I don't really visit this thread often.
Anyways HQs weren't posted, that's for sure. But she looks a bit weird in the first backstage picture.

 

[OriginalSin]

Yes, I agree. Not really a flattering angle...or facial expression

 

[irresistable_loz]

thanks originalsin
i think at the moment no one really minds too much about a repost here or there, although it would be great to see some new stuff out.

if only i had a couple of million to start up my own label.. then we'd have a lot more Gemma pics..
Lauren Michelle Black Label - M. Gemma Ward
Iridescent Parfum by Lauren Michelle - M. Gemma Ward
LM incredibly tacky but still 'designer' cheaper label for the masses - M. Gemma Ward

 

[irresistable_loz]

lol not to mention LM Jeans, the LM Accessories campaign... LM sunglasses..
Oh and of course the newly opened resort in the pacific...
Maybe I should rethink the 'couple of million' budget..

Gemma Ward, Evolutionary Link?

When Masha Tyelna made her runway debut this spring we thought that she looked like E.T. in heels - and maybe with good reason.

Masha is just the most extreme example of a trend that's been very present in castings for a while now:

Models with big wide eyes, small jaws, and large foreheads are always booking.
See: Gemma, Lily Donaldson, Vlada, Sasha, and Tanya D.

Their look has been called "alien babydoll," and they do look a little like a Mattel best-seller.
So why do we think they're so gorgeous?

Evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould argued that humans evolved from chimpanzees who retained juvenile characteristics (like less hair, prominent foreheads, small jaws, and flat faces) into adulthood. This phenomenon is called neoteny, but maybe it should just be called "the fall runway."

Other scientists, like Desmond Morris, have discussed how neotenic characteristics are considered extremely attractive in women; particularly hairlessness (hello Brazilians!) and large eyes (babies have larger eyes in relation to their faces than adults do, so we grown-ups have to use Diorshow mascara).

In that light, the current crop of models seems to represent a really extreme example of broader trends in human evolution. They so typify what humans look like that they start to look exceptional.

Do the alien babydolls look like the most beautiful humans to you? Or do you prefer a look that's a little less "highly evolved"?
