I have NO PROBLEM not being perfect !!!!! We need average models to show what a real person looks like. Screw fantasy, want fantasy, go watch a Disney movie! Kelly Upton is not mediocre art, she looks better than most models on the runway. I suppose the Venus De Milo is mediocre as well since her measurements are wider. I have a friend who's daughter nearly died starving herself to look like these so called art forms. She stopped having her period, and was wasting away. This is NOT the lesson to teach young girls. Or boys for that matter.
Let's be honest. We don't NEED them. My son is always saying he NEEDS a sucker or he NEEDS to wear his red shirt. He doesn't need those things; he wants them. You want them.
That's sad about your friend's daughter but there were more factors there than seeing supermodels in the media. Suddenly making all models/actresses/celebrities an average weight would not solve the mental issues that many girls/boys and men/women have concerning their bodies. You need to treat the illness, not symptoms.0 -
She's not fat, but I do find her weight average and that's not good enough for a model.
We need more average models. These really thin, airbrushed ones we have are the reason why so many girls have eating disorders.
What do we need average models for? We have average people everywhere. Models are supposed to represent a FANTASY. We can't handle the fact that we aren't perfect so we have to make art that's mediocre? C'mon.
Wow! I don't know where you're from, but I see nothing average about Kate Upton. That's why she was on Sports Illustrated...etc. She's not average. She's definitely not the typical thin-as-a-rail model, but she's looks nothing like any woman that I've ever lived next door to, or ran into at the grocery store.
Don't move to LA, you will be surprised on how good looking the population is.
Good-looking or plastic-looking?
Just flat out good-looking, dear.0 -

The top and bottom are photo shopped, no opinion, just fact that photoshop makes it difficult to assess truthfully.
She's not the body type I strive for nor would she be able to turn me, but she's pretty.0 -
When I saw her on the cover of sports illustrated, I was like, "Wow; they put a plus size model on the cover. That's progressive." She's not "fat" for a person walking on the street, but she certainly has at least 2 times the body fat of a standard model. Why does she get paid for that? I think models should have to work for it... Their job is to look good... That's all they have to do. And she doesn't bother to work out? That's just lazy.
This is a joke, right?
Oh I certainly hope so how in the world does she look anything like a plus size model really........... really :noway:0 -
Words cannot explain how sexy I find Kate Upton.
I would leave my fiance for her.

Your idea of plus size model and what the people in the fashion world consider a plus size model are most likely different.
Robyn Lawley is considered the current face of plus size modeling. I tend to drool when I see her.

You're right. What people would think of as a plus size model and what plus size models actually look like are quite different.
But I gotta be honest. As gorgeous as this woman is, she is heavily photoshopped in this picture.
According to wikipedia (yeah...not exactly accurate but meh) her measurements and weight/height are pretty similar to mine, as I just happen to be extremely tall. Pretty sure my lines aren't as smooth as that.0 -
Well models should also represent health while they're at it. Nothing wrong with fantasy models, just not enough average ones out there. Everywhere you turn you see size 0 models. No wonder girls who are Kate's size think they're fat..
Models are not making a public service announcement. They are selling ****.
You seem to have a rather shocking lack of understanding of how the media influences individuals. Wow. Just oh wow!
The media influences individuals who can't wrap their heads around that fact that it's a fantasy. That's my whole point. Let the fantasy be the fantasy that it is. Don't conflate it with reality and get all bent out of shape because the two don't measure up. They aren't supposed to. That's why it sells. You're the one who doesn't seem to understand.
maybe YOU dont understand that not everyone's fantasy is what YOU think it is.
She really doesn't, and that's because she's subscribing to the same fantasy prototype woman that has been drilled into our retinas by modern media. Fancy that.
Also there are different types of models for different audiences/purposes - runway models, haute couture, editorial, catalogue, plus size, alternative, glamour/men's mag models. The faces and bodies of these models correspond to whatever category their look is appropriate for (unless they hit supermodel status). Kate's look caters to editorial/men's magazines. That's why she is always shown in bikinis about 3 sizes too small for her (which doesn't REALLY flatter her body, but guys don't notice that because boobs) Her face and body is meant to sell to this demographic, and that it does.0 -

Not at all fat but I really don't like her torso, at all. ~shrug~
In this thread she looks awesome in the gifs but I don't like the still pictures, at all, the bottom one here is okay but her torso in the others doesn't at all appeal to me. But NOT FAT, lol.0 -

My fantasy in no way resembles a stick figure, so please dont generalize. And to the person that says "she doesnt work out,,lazy etc" Boo on you, you're wrong. She does work out AND she makes NO apologies for the figure GOD gave her. Im sorry Ive seen stick figures with more cellulite SO>>> she looks healthy to me. Not Body Builder healthy, but healthy. WHATS WRONG WITH HER BODY? Nothing. END OF STORY. Good bye

True on the Photoshop but most model photos will get hit by it, but search her other photos she is beautiful in my book. Saw her in Paris earlier this year, I felt like she was gliding and not walking. :laugh:0 -

Fashion models are NOT meant to be a fantasy. They are meant to present the clothing in an appealing way to the public. The reason that models are generally thin is because they are displaying the "demo version" of the clothing. Designers want to spend as little as possible on the demo as a means to keep costs low. So the "demo version" of the clothing is made in the smallest size possible. For the most part, this cost is minimal, but since employing this practice, society has embraced this rail-thin model as some ideal for beauty and have put this ideal on a pedestal.
Pinup models are meant to be a fantasy and generally carry a larger percentage of body fat than a fashion model.
To each their own. If you feel like the fashion model ideal is right for you, then I wish you luck at it. But that doesn't mean the models with a higher percentage of body fat are lazy or are not beautiful or ideal. Your opinions border dangerously on the line of body-shaming and I think you should reevaluate your opinions because you sound ignorant.
*standing ovation* Thank you. Just.... thank you. :flowerforyou:0 -
I agree with her. Kate isn't for high fashion. But she is a good sports illustrated and burger model.0
