Dayum! I thought this was the 20" arm topic.

LorinaLynn

Reading the article, she sounded dismayed at being so thin. I felt bad for her. Googling her, it seems the only thing she's eating up is the fame of being extremely skinny.

She looks like she wears a corset. You can train your body to look like that over time like the people who stretch their necks.

That look is called Wasp Waisted and there are corsets designed to train your body to achieve that look, if that's what you want. That style was very popular at one time in history, but the women experienced several health difficulties resulting from organs being shoved upward in the chest cavity, and downward into the pelvic floor. While some may find it attractive or interesting party talk to say "I have a 20" waist" - it is by no means Natural or Healthy.

That looks so yuck!!!

I wonder if she asks her husband, does my bum look big in this. :smokin:

As I previously stated earlier who are we as Human beings to judge and say ` vile ` ` sick ` ... She may actually be ` sick ` ...
I am no medical doctor and I am probably 90% no one here is because if we were all so healthy we would not of joined here in the first place ALTHOUGH I HAVE seen a few anorexics here which IS a illness ..

Did everyone miss the part where she is a does CORSET TRAINING. She is not anoreix nor 86 pounds,just because the article says shes 86 pounds does not meant its true,at her height she would look like she just got out of a conncentration camp,she looks skinny but not THAT skinny. Her waist is not natural she trained it that way,just like some women bind their feet or stretch their necks.
seriously people do you also belive elvis lives in south carolina as a transvestie waitress just because it was once printed in a paper?

I'd be interested to see photographs of her as a teen to back up her claims that her waist started to form like this at that time. Quite honestly it looks surgically altered or severely corseted, especially as her hips are normal width for a women of her height.

Scarlet O'Hara had an 18" waist in Gone With the Wind. maybe that was why she was always so mean and spiteful.

I don't know.. looks bigger to me.

I have read articles about her before since she is a well known waist trainer,she has never said it was natural.This article has so much wrong with it. You could probobly get more factual information from the weekly world news

She has to wear a corset for her waist to look like that...There is NO way that's natural.

SerenityRabit

tight lacing gone wrong.
it's just not attractive.
Tight lacing is ment to achieve a hour glass figure.
Not...this...weird look.

LorinaLynn

I've googled and seen her nekkid and lingerie pictures. She's not quite concentration camp, but not far from it. You can see her femur. http://www.yousaytoo.com/ioana-spangenberg-woman-with-wasp-waist/1854490 (lingerie, no nudity)

Her 20" waist looks to be that size without the corset. It looks proportional to her hips when she's not wearing it. I had similar measurements in my early 20s (22" waist* and 32" hips) but at 5'5 and ~105# I was too skinny, but not count-every-bone skinny.

For comparison, Dita Von Tease has a 22" waist that can be cinched down to 16.5" and looks phenomenal.

* I was really proud of the Scarlett costume I made when I was 21 years old and it had a 22" waist, same as Vivien Leigh, but I didn't wear a corset. I wish I had a photo in it.

I'd prefer to have extra weight than look like that.

When I was in my 20's at one point I weighed 80 lbs and I was 5'4" and I looked very similar. Oddly enough, I would wear waist cinchers and the like to make my tiny waste even smaller. I was very sick in mind and body.

kelceyjean12011

my thigh is bigger than her waist haha!

runfoodierun

I will admit I was about....to defend the 20 inch waist girl. Until I saw the picture. It looks like she had the bottom part of her ribs removed.
I have a friend who has serious thyroid issues. She fluctuates from hypo to hyper. She can not get her weight over a buck to save her life. (Literally) There are those out there that face this type of problem. We can jest we wish we had that kinda problem, but it is pretty serious.
Now, back to the girl in this photo, she is not healthy. Something is either altered in that picture of she has had internal organs removed. It is almost not possible. AND shame to whatever publication gave her fame for that waist. SHAME!

elvis? transvestite? SC? I'd like to see this.... and i did not read the article. Just reacted. Still to thin. Thank you though, for a further explanation.

she does waist training,it is no more unhealthy than feet binding or neck streaching or any other form of body modification

Yep, without the bandage dress, she does look pretty a-okay...
Let's not jump to conclusions here... :-)

Everyone is free to have their hobbies and interests, such as corset training.... however. Anatomically speaking (science nerd here), that is NOT okay or safe for her organs. You know, the things that are supposed to keep you alive? The human body is meant to have a specific inner structure for all of your vital organs, and this would totally screw with that. To the point where I'd be worried about inflammation from them rubbing against each other constantly from lack of proper space. Oi vei.

You can shrink fat around your body, but you can't make your organs smaller...

The elvis thing was in the weekly world news once.

Kaddyshack21

So I googled her. I will admit I haven't read all of this thread so i may be repeating some info here.

There are pic with her in a corset (creepy in my opinion) there are pics without a corset looks quite a bit better. The proportions between her chest,waist, and hips while considerable look a lot better without the corset. There is a least some kind of smoothness to it.

The thing that bothered me though is that I read in one of the articles is that she wants to train to get even smaller. She is currently at 40 cm and wants to get to 33 cm. She is now going for Guinness Book of Records. So to me this is now all about her "15 minutes"

It's just sad to me. I hope that she is still taking care of her health in all of this.

A 20 inch waist isn't that hard to have if you are a small framed girl. my friend has a 21 inch waist, and 27 inch hips.

The only reason this girl looks so "unhealthy" is because of how big her hips are. If her hips were 26 inches she would look perfectly normal.

If she had 26" hips, she'd be the ideal size for a six year old child. Most six year old children are not 5'6".

Everyone is built differently. My friend that has the 21" inch waist is 5'6". She looks very healthy, shes just small.

The 20" waist isn't what concerns me, even though it's obviously much smaller than that when in a corset. A waist that's 10-12" smaller than one's hips is normal. Suggesting that her 32" hips are "wide" is what strikes me as extreme, and even more extreme is saying she'd look "normal" if she had 26" hips. That's the hip size of children's clothing in a size 6.

I saw that in the news earlier and had to look away. Stuff like that makes me lose my appetite.

CMmrsfloyd

I'd prefer to have extra weight than look like that.

There's another lady here that you can see from her thighs is definitely not underweight ;-) but she has corset-trained her waist down to 15 inches over years and years of training:
