Model With 20 inch Waist

She physically can't put on the weight and has been trying since she hit puberty, which was when her weight plummeted. I guess the good news is that she's put on 5" since then?? She's got to have a health condition, I hope she'll get treatment sometime.

Contrary to what headlines would have you believe, when you read her story it's actually sad. She doesn't actually want to look that way, and she faced ostracism due to her over-thinness growing up.

Under normal circumstances, I don't think that is possible. With extreme corsetting and persistance, I guess anything can happen.
It's hard to know why someone would want to make themselves look so very abnormal - I really don't understand it.

it looks gross. kind of look like she has ridiculously big hips and butt next to the skinny waist. i'd hate to have my hips stick out that much. must be hard to find clothes that fit.

it looks a bit gross really. would anyone actually try and look like that? because it looks like something went wrong with her body big time.

Not attractive at all.

I saw another picture of her this morning and it is just so gross! At first she tried to say that she eats all of the time but then admitted that she can't eat because her stomach is so small. How can she be a model? Does this really look good, or healthy, to anyone???? I would rather be at my highest weight than look like that!

When I read this article I actually felt bad for her, but I don't think of her body image as something that anyone, even the most deluded person would aspire to in terms of their ideal. I think most women would look at this model and see that there is something disproportionate about her. The bigger dangers are the models who are unbelievably skinny (part of the 90s heroine chic look) that are actually on advertisements everywhere.

She states that it is natural, but if you google her and click on images you will find a lot of pics of her in a corset. You will also find pics of her in a bathing suit and her waist is dramatically larger without the corset. Without the corset I think she looks like every other thin runway model. I feel sad for her that she feels like she needs to contort her body like that.

If this is the result of a natural health issue (which, if you read any articles, it seems to be), then I feel terribly sorry for her, because there are probably complications that come with it -- not to mention people who would hate her for her skinniness or accuse her of trying to maintain that body on purpose. She's certainly making her figurative lemonade. I mean, obviously that's a body that would sell corsets, even if the look wasn't achieved through corseting. I think it's really sad that there are people on this site hating on her for something she can't seem to do anything about just because she's trying to make the best of it.

Omg, this scares me... however, I have this intense desire to dress her up and put her in a pink convertible.. I bet her sister Skipper would look cute in that dress...

Ok this hit me as super funny, sad but funny.

That's got to be the oddest looking person I've seen in my life. Got to be.

^^^this x549!!!

walk a mile... well, you know the rest!

Great good for her. Now for the rest of the 99.9999999999% of the people that is so not achievable nor is it healthy unless you were "born" into it. Regardless of what the modeling industry said, unless some one has extremely fast metabolism and is naturally thin as a rail, there is always some sort of eating disorder below the surface of each and every model. Most models are like canvas, they are simply to display the designer's clothing. And offer no shape of their own. They like to use different terminology for it, but a horse in a housedress and slippers is still a horse.

It's not healthy whether you're born into it or not. I feel sad for her. She's just as unattractive as someone that's morbidly obese. Who would want to look that way? The fact that she's a model makes a disturbing commentary on society. I thought models were supposed to be the ideal of physical perfection! Anyone who looks at her picture and thinks, "wow, I wish my body were like that," ought to have her head examined.

^^ this, It is a very sad story. I found hers a few months ago while reading about the barbie doll image we are feeding our little girls from child hood.
I felt sorry for her and hope things get better for her soon :flowerforyou:
