I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Thought this was already well known. :/
I just don't understand why models have to be that thin in the first place. Just eat more, I would say.
I mean nobody considers this extreme thinness as beautiful. Only gay fashion designers, it seems. They don't appreciate female shapes. -__-

I have a problem with people blaming the models themselves and an inverse thin-shaming thingy I've seen take hold.
If you are checking out a model's body on the catwalk instead of the clothes, it kind of seems like you're missing the point. They are meant to be akin to wire coat hangers: generic, streamline, barely there. I don't think high fashion is meant to be about women as much as fantasy. It doesn't pretend otherwise.
Being a model is a thankless job as it is, never mind being sniped at from all sides. If you don't like it you can boycott it or pester people higher up rather than further this whole ridiculousness about which type of body is more beautiful. To me, that just feeds the issue and seems more about personal taste or in other cases disguised snarkiness.
Other media like to blame the fashion industry, when imo they are more the source of the problem of warped mindsets. The problem lies more with celebrities/TV etc. people who claim to represent "everyday people" and fail. That is far more insidious.
Not all models are fashion models. Non-fashion models usually have curves.....some are even BBW!!!
I like the images on the left more than the right, probably because I like definition in the hips. I have the same thing on my hips and have never had any related flat tires or breakdowns or any such thing. I don't see how the touched up images are any better than the one on the left. Also, I'm more interested in the left images because that is actually how they are. I don't find bony women particularly more attractive than women whose ribs and hips are concealed, but I am more attracted to bodies that are real, not concealed with flattering clothes, poses or, in this case, digital enhancement

Models who pose for underwear usually are not as thin as normal models.Originally Posted by Legerdemain
The definition of the hip is something I associate with male bodies. Just take a look at ancient Greek statues. But it's not that much of a female attribute, I think. :/

it is if the girl is skinny, even many average-sized women have well defined hips.
It seems a certain muscle is responsible for whether that defined line on the hip can be seen or not, the "obliquus externus abdomis".

thats why i dont like stuff like this http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...r-ideal-figure
they're not even reallllllllllllllllllllllll
I'm not sure if Karlie Kloss is the best example of someone that has weight issues. She seems to be just really thin naturally.
If you watch the video of the numero shoot, you'll see that she's not just thin but she's ripped. I'm not sure if you can get that ripped if you're not eating. I don't think she's anorexic as she's like 19 in that picture and about 6 feet tall. She's filling out a bit however.
Karlie is actually a lingerie model as well, she's a Victoria Secret's angel.
that ass is popping out all over the place, but it'd still fit comfortably in my lap mmmm. Why does everyone have to be down on thin people? You don't see ppl going around saying, omg, look at that average person, she's sooooo average sized, wtf is wrong with her???
WOW how did she get that butt?

What is the purpose of mandatory disclosure of image manipulation? Is the intent to force companies to hire women with perfect bodies? Oh those poor, imperfect models, what will they do for work now?
I don't know. I just saw that video today by chance and wanted to share it. Because I actually think, she looks kind of creepy at the end, especially after the stretched her neck.
And some girls who look at such pictures will think of themselves as not beautiful enough. I don't care much about advertisements, but others do. Maybe it's kind of strange to think that the beauty standard is something that isn't even real. I mean, no woman looks actually like that, it's anatomically impossible and still some girls think it would be better to look like that. Don't know, if you can follow. :/
I think, image manipulation is ok, but do they need to overdo it to the point that model looks like an alien?! O__o

just like any other advertising its designed to make people feel uncomfortable and dissatisfied enough with their lives to justify spending money (in this case, to the beauty industry) to "fix" their problems. so it's designed deliberately to be unrealistic and make women feel bad about themselves because that's how profit is made. you can choose not to buy into the bullshit but that's harder for adolescents to do.
I think we should ban beer, because some people who drink beer might not get very drunk and they might worry that they don't drink enough.
psh who cares? don't buy magizines if you're absolutely against it.
I'm indifferent.
As someone who's lived within a few miles of hot delicious beaches for most of my life, I can assure you there are many women who do not need to be touched up for magazine covers. I don't think touching up is necessary, even when the model has obvious physical flaws, but I don't see why it's such a big deal it they do it. There are worse things happening to women around the world. If you don't like touched up images, then don't buy the product it's being used to sell.
Imo, touching up or even, in the case of your video, extreme alterations of physical attributes isn't much different than the crinoline and the corset, the main difference is the technology has advanced. My personal preference would be that women use less makeup, worry less about fashion and other things that hide their perceived flaws, instead they should focus their time, money and efforts on something more constructive, but the only thing preventing women from doing so is their own vanity. Maybe someday a majority of women will stop giving their money away to fashion designers and makeup manufacturers, stop watching celebrity gossip shows and refuse to purchase women's magazines(product brochures in disguise).
agree with image manipulation being a good thing . prolly the best weapon against body dysmorphic disorder (at least in the context of an image- obsessed society).
