I'm willing to bet real money that every single one of you is outside the ideal body weight for your age & height - except Gob, because I've seen photos of him and he's fairly fit.
2/3 of Americans are overweight, with 1/3 being clinically obese. Yet you guys sit on your fat asses behind a computer screen and judge this beautiful, average sized (by American statistics) young woman's looks???

And there is a difference between models and pinup girls. Models look like overly tall 12 yo boys where as pin-up girls do have some curves.
Don't know why the designers use those models. And what happens when they are skinnier than size 0?
Fashion models are just organic clothes hangers/displays. They are there to make the clothing look good. Smart normal weighted woman become lawyers and doctors.....
And the not so smart ones become nurses....

I sincerely hope that criticism was not intended to include me, since I have not posted one word of criticism about Miss Huffine, and have in fact made points supporting the argument that contemporary fashion definitions of "sexy" idealize an underweight body size that is neither desirable or attractive.
I thought we were all in favour of the lady with a nice personality, and lovely hair.

The woman posted at the top of this thread is a cow. The pity of it is that she has a pretty face and good bones.
Just because most in our culture are either obese or well their way there does not mean that it is unrealistic to expect normal people to carry a reasonable amount of weight on their bodies. Spend a few weeks in Europe and you will see that the majority of adults - male and female - are normal: what some here would refer to as thin or skinny.
Fortunately, when you are a proper weight, we'll groomed, and wear clothing that fits properly, that renders a fairly good imitation of "attractive."
No one is demanding that anyone (other than an aspiring model) starve themselves into emaciation. I'm no great fan of BODY MASS INDEX charts - they don't allow for muscularity - but the chart doesn't lie. The woman at the top is fat.
