Nuke the modeling world for such blasphemy

In what world would Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker be considered too big?

That would be the world of model, according to Decker, voted No. 1 in Women's Health Magazine's "Best Summer Bodies."


Dishes Decker, who is on the cover of September's Women's Health:

"Oddly enough, (after I gave up juice fasting to stay skinny) more people wanted to work with me... I have a curvy body. I have boobs. I'm a size 4. In modeling, that's often too big."

The wife of Andy Roddick (Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady's wife was No. 14 on the WH list) says she keeps in shape by running, spinning and weight training.

She's fine. But the first pic is intriging me. Her boobs feel to large for her hip/ass, but not in the other pics.

Anyway, she doesn't have a body made for bikini modeling. But she's really hot in that pink dress. Great humps.
 
poor her

...except she gets 10x the work, money, and exposure of the average successful runway model

If you consider this girl fat you really have some problems. Have you not seen some of the coked up anorexic sack of bones in modeling?

I think you may be exaggerating just a bit, obese hippos are no more "normal" than Taylor Swift's body type which is basically non-existent. When people say a girl is too skinny, they're not talking about women like in the OP, she still has some much needed meat to her body and doesn't look like Skeletor.
 
ITT GAFfers learn that the abdominal muscles are naturally convex.

Joke post?
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the OP's example one that would be considered the "Curvy" body type for a woman?

I just ask because whenever I see most women (most especially in the US) call themselves "Curvy", they seem to think that is because of being very much obese (ie. a very large "curve" around their waist).
 
She looks great in the dress, but that swimsuit does not suit her at all. She needs one with a different cut, and would look great in that too.
 
She is gorgeous, but that's not what the fashion industry wants.

The Fashion Industry wants razor sharp kneed girls so that there is less model. That way, you see more of the clothes, rather than the model, who would otherwise be absolutely stunning, like this lady.

Fashion models are so thin that when they stand sideways, you can't see them... But that's the point.

If Draper is hitting it then its Grade-A

If Draper hit this is the forest, and you hit it afterwards, would you then have hit draper, because you were in the same tunnel, but if there were noone to see it, would it still happen and how many questions was that?
 
The reason it's "often to big" is because models smaller in size are easier to create clothes for; both in time spent making them and cost of materials. The clothes are made to fit a specific sized woman and woman who are very very skinny generally have the same body type. Where as woman who have curves may have bigger breasts, hips, butt etc.. This way they can just make the clothes and since all models fit a specific size do only minor alterations before a show.

If they modeling industry used size 4 woman who have curves, they would still need to be very specific and only take woman who are size 4 with X-sized breasts, X-sized hips, X-sized waist etc..
