^ seriously

Looks like Alexandra Tomlinson to me.
The way she isn't standing up straight, and those shoes...she looks like some alien that could run at high speed.

This thread obviously favors and showcases extreme examples, but not all models stand out all that much. There are plenty of Supreme models who are only striking for their height and weight; facially, many are unexceptional. Additionally, a conventionally beautiful girl Sasha's height and weight may not contrast that strongly with other attractive females a similar size. It's not like all models are superglamorous amazons and non-models are always short and ugly. I know this thread is tongue-in-cheek, but it would be nice to see some examples that weren't complicit in the fanatical belief that models are supernatural beings, etc.

I've worked with plenty of models, both in-house and from a press standpoint, and they don't always tower over everyone and make every woman surrounding them look like fat children. They aren't even that intimidating. It's a myth we ourselves propagate for our own reasons.

What I think is a much more accurate comparison is the face. You can easily identify the models from the make up artists or hair stylists. The defined cheekbones and beautiful bone structure stands out greatly next to an average woman's face.

You could say the same for any attractive person's face, model or not. Obviously, attractive people stand out because they are a rare commodity. And of course, there are also beautiful hairstylists and make up artists - some even "model-like" physically, as well - but they are unrepresented in this thread.

This photo is weird! Like the girl on the right has been pasted in from a different photo.
