Models And Actresses

[plasticine20]

I generally don't like seeing actresses on the covers of fashion magazines. They tend to be very boring. People also already associate actresses with their characters, or they have a certain stigma or persona about them, so it sometimes ends up ruining the effect of the picture.

I guess I"ll comment on another argument in this thread. I know a lot of people like to see clothes worn by "real" people; people with bodies just like themselves. However, part of the allure of using models is that they have almost unattainable bodies and faces. They are gorgeous. I'd rather see clothes on them than your average woman on the street. Yes, I like seeing clothes on people of all body types. But when it comes to high fashion, I do prefer seeing them on thin models. Tall, thin bodies can wear clothes much easier than other body types.

I agree w/ fungus I love to see 'full-figured' women in magazines and such, and I like the fact that they feel comfortable w/ themselves and their bodies but...the clothes just don't seem as attractive on them. Tall, thin models add glamour and allure to the clothes they wear. They're kinda like demi-goddesses...

I was born during the Era of the Supermodels aka The Era where MODELS were on the covers of magazines and were the faces of products. I was born in 1991. I wasn't exposed to fashion until I started watching ANTM. I soon learned about the era of the supers. I wish the era would return. I am sick and tired of these actresses and pop stars like Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, Jlo, Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, etc,... They have stolen MODELS' JOBS!! There are some celebrities that I admire on these jobs like Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and Angelina Jolie because they are PERFECT MUSES. ON ETHS SUPERMODELS, they said that the reason why actresses are so popular is because people wanna see REAL WOMEN, and non perfect women on covers. Jenn Aniston and them don't look perfect like a supermodel, which makes them more relatable. Actresses should stay on the covers of Inside Entertainment, Entertainment Weekly, People, US, Star, and all those tabloids. MODELS Should RULE the fashion magazines like W, VOGUE, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Elle Girl, Teen Vogue, Allure, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair... I agree with Tyra. She said she wants the supermodels back on the mag covers.

Soon all models are going to have (in America at least) is the catwalk. And you never know, actresses might want those too.

Actually the actresses have already walked in the catwalks. Stars like Lindsay Lohan, Xtina, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton and likes have RECENTLY been on the catwalks.

They were walking for a charity, thats why.


Also, nice job bringing back a thread who had its last post in 2004.

Yeah but it's still an issue today.
