Runway

Haha! SontaMonk! But you are very right.

Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Here's a very holy-looking pic of Adriana, you know, just to stay on topic.

indeed it is *nods* This is a very in depth discussion we are having and I agree with what everyone is saying. The thing that particularly stuck out to me was that girls dress well and everything for other girls. I personally think that girls are the most critical and if im feeling particularly self conscious i'm normally more worried about what other girls are thinking just because girls are real bitches sometimes. I think that fashion is more of a reflection on socieity. Some people say it creates trends but i just think that it discovers them because why would things catch on if we didnt like them in the first place (even on some subconcious level.) Fashion designers just have a nack for finding out what we like or will like in the future and thats why i dont beleive in completley blaming the fashion industry for skinny models, because thats the image of perfection that is getting pushed at us from all areas of pop culture. I surely do not look at Izabel or Alessandra and say "omg, i wanna look like that" because i would honeslty take what i look like now over them. Sure im short as hell (4'10'') and i may have slightly big ears but no one ever notices things like that because im pleased with myself and i have enough opinions for people twice my size. Adriana looks hot as hell and I (like everyone else in this forum) appreciate her beauty, and I appreciate fashion even if it is incredibly superficial and some would even say mindless (not me of course) but I like to keep a grounded perspective on things. I know whats really right and what people really want, and I, for one do not wanna look like the oat hanger models Okay NOW i am going to bed. g'night

My two cents:

Marilyn was hot.

To expound:

She wasn't thin. She has some meat on her bones. She was very curvy. And everyone went BANANAS over her. Adriana looks like she's putting on some weight, and I like it. I agree that Alessandra and Isabel could use some weight. Gisele doesn't need it because she isn't scary thin. She's like, lean and athletic and she's tall. I for one don't think seeing rib cages is that sexy.

Anyway, thats my two cents.

Bottom line, Adriana has to stay hot. Just as long as she doesnt get skeletal or makes her heels break under the weight, I'm cool.

Here you go, that's all I have right now.

Marilyn Monroe actually had a 23 inch waist (thinner than Alessandra's, who has been mentioned as an example of what is too skinny). Her hips and breasts were a little bigger than Ale's (only by 2-3 inches), but she was also a lot shorter. If she was stretched out to the same height as Ale, she wouldn't have looked much different from her. If you take one group of measurements from a tall person who looks very skinny, squash them down into a short person, the short person will look curvy even if they have identical measurements to the tall, skeletal-looking woman.

I also agree that everyone should take emphasis off of being super skinny as well as taking emphasis off of being super curvy. Instead of saying "being thin is the only way to be beautiful!" or "being curvy is the only way to be a real woman!" I think all body types should be embraced and shown as being normal and beautiful.

The BMI (body mass index) is the formula used to determine a healthy body weight due to height. An underweight BMI is 18.5 or less, normal is 18.5 - 24.9, overweight is 25.0 - 29.9, obese is 30.0-39.9 and extremly obese is 40 or higher. Marilyn was 120 lbs so if you were to make her 6 feet tall and keep her weight they same her BMI would be 21.5 which would still be considered healthy. Heres a link to a BMI chart if anyone is curious...:

i'm fairly sure there are lots of those on this forum as well as bw forums... http://www.bwgreyscale.com/discussion_boards/index.php

BMI Chart

I looked at the link you provided and if you calculate height and weight yourself (which you can do at the bottom of the screen) you will see that the BMI for a 5'10" women who's only 120 pounds is VERY underweight. Their BMI is only 17. Anything below 18.5 is considered underweight and unhealthy. Most of the models who weight 120 are considered very underweight. Underweight people do not live as long as those in the healthy BMI range. 5'10" and 130 is considered a 'healthy' BMI. And even at 130 pounds, you're at the low/thin end of the BMI...only 18.7. At 140 pounds and 5'10" you're BMI would be only 20, so still low but at least in the healthy range. If Marilyn Monroe had really been 6 feet and 120 pounds, she would hardly be alive her BMI would be sooooo low. (around 16..which is off the charts) She would have been anorexic.

Here's another BMI link where you can calculate how much you weight yourself....Most people are in the healthy range, but models are not. I would say Adriana has a healthy BMI. I'm guessing her weight is between 130-140 which is still considered thin, but healthy. Anything below this and she would be considered under-weight according to the BMI, which can cause heart problems later in life. Of course if you're short (5'3") and 130 you're still in the healthy range but up on the high end (23). You'd probably look very plump. The thing about being tall, is that you can weight quite a lot and still look very thin especially if your small boned to begin with.

Adriana Website!

Yay I'm in the normal range! Whoo hoo! I'm 5'7" and weight 148lbs. Whoo hoo! I thought I was fat. I've got a big booty and boobs...drives me nuts on how it makes me look plump.

I LOVE HER.she looks amazing with her new figure,just look at her legs,they look better than ever!and her boobs doesn't look too flashing,which i like.when i look at the pictures with other girls i see nothing but Adriana's face,her face is priceless..i also think Alessandra and Karolina looked their best and i fell for J.Stam

thank you for all these pics!

she is a pregnant lesbian!!! period!!!

LOL...

i think she look good.... healthy and beautyfull!!!

the pregnant lesbian this is the bs thing i`ve heard all day

sadly in the modeling buisness, they dont really look for a girl that's healthy. they just look for a girl who's very thin and can pass for the "look" to have in the buisness. once you're in, and very well made in the buisness, it doesnt really matter if you gain weight, you just have to control it and dont let it get too overboard with it, otherwise that will end it right there.

18 HQ runaway few of them could be repost

Thank you pentium all the pics are lovely and much appreciated
