Beautiful, or too thin?

Post by Gob »

Standing in nothing but stiletto heels and a Sombrero hat, Karlie Kloss proudly displays her flawless figure for a nude editorial.

And judging by the jaw-dropping shot, it's not hard to see where she gets her confidence from.

In fact, the fashion world is so taken by the 19-year-old - they have labeled her the 'new Body.'
The moniker has, up until now, been unanimously reserved for veteran model Elle Macpherson.

But Vogue Italia editor Franca Sozzani believes Kloss is more deserving of the accolade.

It's been a busy year for Kloss, who last month graced the Victoria's Secret runway for the first time.

Not bad - but if she were much thinner she could call herself Karlie Floss.

Is Heroin Chic back? Nice to some, who like stick figures I suppose, but those muscles look atrophied ...personally, I don't find the 'starved to the bone' look attractive in men or women. In men, it says 'immature adolescent' and in women it says 'severely malnourished' IMHO neither are what I consider sexy.

She looks like a starving refugee. Revolting.

Again, the natural exposure was more far more sexy IRL

That's just nasty; that's what I call a rib cracker. That's when you put your dick in her soft and her ribs crack when it gets hard...

Seriously she looks like a holocaust victim.

And if is this is the new standard of beauty then forget beauty! And fuck all those stupid cunts that think they can dictate the standards. No wonder young girls are fucked up regarding body image!

Give me a real woman. Someone with some meat on their bones.

Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.

I'm often grateful I don't have a daughter. This is one of those times.

What a world. :loon

Brief threadjack, and speaking of raising girls in this day and age:

Does anybody here know what "rainbow" parties are? Or what "rainbowing" is?

No, I don't. And I have two girls who seemingly spend their lives going to parties.

Now I do. And oh, my stars:
Rainbow party (sexuality)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A rainbow party is a supposed group sex event featured in an urban legend spread since the early 2000s. A variant of other sex party urban myths, the stories claim that at these events, allegedly increasingly popular among adolescents, females wearing various shades of lipstick take turns fellating males in sequence, leaving multiple colors (a "rainbow") on their penises.[1] The idea was publicized on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2003, and became the subject of a juvenile novel called Rainbow Party.[1] However, sex researchers and adolescent health care professionals have found no evidence for the existence of rainbow parties, and as such attribute the spread of the stories to a moral panic.[1] On May 27, 2010 the television program The Doctors discussed the topic with dozens of teens, parents, and professionals.

Whatever happened to "Spin the Bottle"? :o

This is a bit like Sexting, in that every parent fears it's happening, but it's not that prevalent.

Actually, she makes the sombrero look fat...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

When I see bones sticking out, I think it's going a little too far.

But this child is repulsive in more ways than that. Who, exactly, is the target audience for this brand of porn?

It's certainly not men.

It's not urban legend in these parts - rainbow parties, I mean. I can't get very specific, just to say that the things I hear from the school counselors and from minors related to my juvenile and adult court cases - well, I'm not all that sorry I don't have kids in these days.

I know everyone says that from generation to generation, but with digital imagery so easy to create and share, and with the kinds of sexual behaviors that seem to be the 'norm' even in rural America - it's a frightening age in which to parent children.

It's always a frightening age in which to parent children. But unlike my parents, I'm not terribly worried about mine being drafted and shipped off to war. Teen sex has always been and always will be, and I think it's actually easier these days to teach your children to make good choices about sex, specifically because of the ready availability of bad examples. The hardest part is gearing the information appropriately for the age and emotional readiness of the child. My son (now going on 17) seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders on this subject; we've been talking to him about it since he was old enough to notice that girls are different from boys. My girls are still very young, and seem to have no idea that boys even exist other than as some kind of vague classroom annoyance at school, but soon enough they will be "tweens," when it will be more urgently an issue. I'll just have to wait and see how that works out. On the plus side, we now live in a town where teen pregnancy is not the norm and the vast majority of kids go on to higher education, so I'm hoping this type of peer pressure works positively with our own efforts.
GAH!
