    She's "chubby" for a model. But I personally would love to have her bootay. :)

    The modeling industry is clueless as to what men find attractive. I guess that is probably not their aim anyway.

    Nope. They want human coat hangers and little more.

    Very true, modeling isn't about the model per say it's about making the clothes look amazing. If you're taking away from the clothes or whatever it is you're modeling (and you're not a super model) they don't want you. Personally I think she looks gorgeous! I would kill for those hips and *kitten* saying that she does look a little bit bigger than your average model. Not to mention those pics have been adjusted to within an inch of their life so it's hard to say what her body really does look like. If it's even 2% like those pictures though she's still hot.

    Agreed, but this isn't about her being hired or not, it's about collecting her winnings. They don't need to use her, but they should have to pay the contract... Right?

    Apparently, at the time she won the contest, she got a contract with a company that had not set any requirements for measurements in the contract. Later on, for some reason the company taken over by Elite Models, and she claims they said she had a nice face, but her *kitten* was too big.
    I'm happy she won the lawsuit. Models should look fit and healthy, not skinny.

    unless they mixed up "too fat" with stunning I can't see the logic...

    yeah if she won a contest she should get the reward as long as there was nothing in the contract about gaining weight or something similar.

    Ok. This is a big pet peeve of mine,

    RUNWAY MODELS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A WALKING HANGER, Having significant shape in a the clothing distorts the image of the garment. Fashion is art. You arent supposed to think "Oh wow her *kitten* looks great in that." You are supposed to look at the garment, Having a detectable body takes away from what is supposed to be in the spot light, THE CLOTHING.

    Yeah its wrong but its how it is.

    They shouldnt have hired her if she didnt fit their image. I hope she wins and gets the money she worked hard for,

    Wow!! I wish I looked that "fat". People are insane if they think she is fat.
    Just more pressure on us females to look even better ................... Sigh......... Also is that picture or had that picture been airbrushed? I know without she would look fantastic, but just a thought.............. xxxxxxxxxxxx
