Too Skinny?

skinny fashion model Here are some images that have been circulating around of anorexically skinny fashion models. Are these models actually this skinny, or have the images been touched up by someone trying to make the fashion industry look like a gallery of horrors? I'm not sure. (Warning: one of the images may not be considered safe for work, though it's no racier than what you'd find in your average issue of National Geographic).

Body Manipulation Photos

Obviously fake. Being that thin would make your face gaunt as well.

Fake or not, there are actually women and girls out there that envy those bodies. One of the images is featured in thinspiration galleries across the net.

The bodies of those girls are actually bodies of anorexic girls. However, the heads were simply spliced on. If you were THAT thin you'd have a thin face as well but these girls faces look normal to me.

Bodies and heads are genuine, its just that they don't normally live together. Only one looks complete, that's the one with the tits on show, the rest are designed to make 'tits' out of the viewers!

These are OBVIOUSLY fake. there are pix like this on WOrth1000.com. Having been a model myself, I can attest to the fact that the "thinness" of models is not a case of trying to be thinner than the next, rather a product of "samples" only being made in a certain size. Therefore, if your waist is too small, your hips, or otherwise, you are NOT going to be booked, because the clothes cannot be represented properly.

Yep, fake. Two of the models are quite famous, Anouck and Gisele, and they're definitely not like that. I work in the fashion industry, so I know for a fact that all those images have been doctored.

It's noticably fake...all of them except probably the bottom left one. on eyecandy.com those pics are there too. They are famous models as someone mentioned before and many people know that these photos have been photoshoped. I ahve actually seen the real pictures of all those and the models are acutally extremely more healthy looking and normal looking. First, designers wouldn't allow models that thin to even walk the runway...mainly because the girls would not be getting attention to the clothes...they'd be getting attention for how skinny they are, and no designer wants that. Plus, they are unhealthy looking anyways and I know for a fact that the top designers don't want unhealthy looking girls. The models normally used by the best designers are naturally thin and eat just like normal people do...and most aren't american anyways so they don't eat as unhealthy as we do.

Gah...anyways...so yeah, these photos are fake and it's very easy to find the real photos.

I just want to know if anyone has a link to where i could find a pic of what these models actually look like. These are obviously doctored pictures but some people won't believe me when I tell them so i want to show them.

I'm afraid Kiersten is not right. Plenty of guys find girls that skinny to be very appealing and sexy. Me, for example. Any chance of their phone numbers!

that is discusting

I cant believe that girls let themselves get to that stage.In their mind they think they look attractive or maybe even think they need to loose more weight, be we have to understand that anorexia and bulimia are illnesses.Its just a shame that the fashion industry has encouraged this look by letting size zero models prance around the catwalk. It is not nice when you can feel and see your own skeleton through your skin so why try and promote the idea?? Size 12 considered + size?? Im almost embarrssed to write it.

I suffer from anorexia myself and its obvious this is fake because of her face as people say, but there are people like this, and people die looking like this because its there ultimate goal, its not sick its an actually diease of the brain. It needs to stop.

Posted by Vanessa  on  Tue Feb 26, 2008  at  11:28 AM
i've had anorexia for two years now, sense i was eleven. and even i don't look like that. you can tell that it's fake just by looking at the arm.

I think that people that have eating disorders need to get help i mean I feel really bad for people who are having that problem and there not alone.

okay you cannot seriously sit there and judge these girls. and could be real just as it could be fake i personally know way more anorexics than i care to but i love them and help them feel better about themselves.
i know girls skinnier that model.
its not a choice its a disease how DARE YOU talk crap about those girls.
you dont know what there feeling about themselves. what they thihnk they look like.
would you make fun of some with autism???
i would hope not.
anorexia and bulemia are a disease and whether you believe it or not, they could be your friends and neighbors, sister,daughters, sons and yes even mothers.

so think about it.
im not the skinniest or fattest
im5'3 and weigh 126 im normal weight. especially for just having a baby.
so you cant judge me.

Posted by melissa  on  Sat Mar 28, 2009  at  01:09 PM
Wow!!! These are fake. Like many others have posted on here, their faces would be wayyy skinnier and saggier. Ew!!~ Why do people envy this?? So many people die of anorexia.. Including my sister. It's hard to take in the fact that many do not understand the concept of dying.

Good on those persons to be able to get work even that skinny. Shows some companies are not bias against skinny people, good on the companies who employed them.
Posted by Chez  on  Tue Oct 20, 2009  at  04:57 AM
how could you do that to yourself you look ugly like that. look like you used to be before you got too skiny.i wouldn't do that if i got a molding jod.well i guess they propaly only eat little porion a day.
Posted by mickayla  on  Wed Apr 07, 2010  at  01:59 PM
I think that being that skinny is stupid UNLESS you have a problem, like anorexia, but i hate it when people are like "no one likes skinny girls, guys prefer bigger girls" because like me, some people actually eat loads, but cant help being skinny!
