- LarianLeQuella, on 11/13/2007, -47/+211So why are so many modles sporting the ***** Aushwitz (sp) look. Eat a Hamburger you heroin crazed bitch.
Sorry, I get really pissed off when I see those starved, skinny (and butt ugly) waifs parade down catwalks and what not as being held up as some sort of ideal beauty. I wish they would bring back the WWII pin up girls as a more realistic ideal of beauty. Thanks for the article though, it's refreshing to see someone can appreciate REAL women. - jodokast, on 10/12/2007, -3/+80Here you go:

You can thank me later :) - liah, on 10/12/2007, -5/+72It's not technically about beauty. It's about showing off the clothes.
Also, recently, I think Spain and Italy both introduced a BMI "lock", only models who were over a certain BMI point average were allowed on their catwalks because they were getting sick of the emaciated look. Which is a step in the right direction. - dkm201, on 10/12/2007, -4/+64At least you had a segue in your spam. Give it up for this guy, everyone!
- PATSCRU, on 10/12/2007, -37/+96REAL as in more human than human?
taste in women is completely subjective, so please calm down. - sencha5, on 10/12/2007, -4/+58Isn't it because they're seen as coathangers for designers who see them for nothing else?
- EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+49The only "hourglass" curves I've ever experienced are from the Windows cursor while I wait for my porn to load. *sigh*

- LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -6/+49I always thought "attractive" was when you saw a girl and popped a boner. I have not researched this hypothesis from 1993 that you speak of, so my assumption may be wrong.

Because fashion models are chosen by men whose sexual preference is for 12-year-old boys. - VhaidraU, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43In other shocking news, thirsty people like water.

- nnnr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40I'm going to walk around with a hourglass and hold it up to women in the distance to see if they are worth my time now.
- cinnix, on 10/12/2007, -6/+43What does it usually say?
- bat-21, on 10/12/2007, -9/+44The best advice I ever got about fashion was from my very stylish grandmother. She told me the fashion industry is run by men who hate women and try to make them ugly and broke at the same time.
- inactive, on 11/13/2007, -4/+39This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics
- JCSaint, on 10/12/2007, -17/+51That is sad.
- 7levels, on 10/12/2007, -8/+41@kingbighair
a skinny hourglass is sexy. An anorexic hourglass is not just ugly, it's disheartening. I agree with LarianLeQuella that alot of these models are TOO skinny and need to eat a cheeseburger. nobody wants to ***** a stick - TNHitokiri, on 10/12/2007, -6/+38I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough - sobriquet, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34@orlandogeek
Depends on the size of the tent :) - zephc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31You see, the fashion industry is ruled by gay men and post-menopausal women*, both of whom have no idea what is attractive to straight men. However, models aren't models to be pretty, they're models to be walking coat hangers. I could rig up a coat hanger on top of an R/C car to drive down the highway and save the fashion industry a ton of money.
* I'm not disparaging either group, it's just who work behind the camera in the modeling world. - rollem, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33This article made it sound like some newly discovered phenomenon. A waist-hip ratio of .7 has been known to be "universally" attractive for about 20 years. Singh, 1993, popularized the hypothesis. It's been shown to be the healthiest WHR among females. I say "universally" because there is a lot of conflicting information for societies untouched by modern media, but it's probably as universal as you can get.
- orlandogeek, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32Lordskywalker - Perhaps that's how it works when one is 12, but when one has passed through puberty completely, one does not just randomly "pop a boner". Self control is involved. Cant exactly flirt with a woman if all she notices is the tent in your shorts and not what you are saying.
- yournamehere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28and you can use the sand to give yourself a time limit on the decision XD

- hybridcreation, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28***** and ass >>>>>> twigs
Girls....get a clue. The strung-out heroin addict look went out (was it ever really in...or just a fashion thing?) a LONG time ago. Little rail-thin chicks make me sick. - overstim, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Well for one thing, fashion is dictated by men who have little interest in "passing on their genes" to said models.
- timo1023, on 10/12/2007, -8/+34I read the title, scanned through the article, found no pictures, and moved on.
- derning, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25That's because gay guys have PINK blood. Duuhhhh.

So why are so many modles sporting the ***** Aushwitz (sp) look.
--
Because fashion designers are gay men who have no idea what makes an attractive woman. - Bleeblaow, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27"Sorry but no hips and fake ***** just isn't as attractive as the real thing.
Gotta have some meat on them bones."
I hope you realize that a female can:
a) not be fat
b) have hips
c) have real *****
all at the same time. Thus rendering your perspective useless.
Oh, and perky breasts, fake or not, are one hundred times better than sagging *****. At least when you're 22 years old they are. - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -0/+20I know a woman's attractive when I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95SYdjRVCR0
- Lax32, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Dugg just for using the term "do the one eye salute".
- cougar618, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun
- weister42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I like...boobs. BOOBS
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17"Because the majority of men and women find those women the most attractive."
That's not exactly why ultra-thin women get picked as fashion models. Fashion models are like a canvas and a designer decorates the canvas with clothing. You don't want the canvas detracting from the art and that's particularly true with runway models. Think of them as walking canvas.
That's also why Playboy models are not heroine thin. They have hourglass curves because that gets your engine revved up.
If you notice there aren't that many fashion models that make the transition over to swimsuit because you use different criteria for selecting those models.
"Eat a Hamburger you heroin crazed bitch."
Hehe. Good one. - deviouskoopa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19@broomett
I completely disagree, her face is far from ugly...
I mean how can you say no:

I agree with LarianLeQuella.
The insecure chicks (models, celebrities, etc) need to do away with the "I just did 3 months in Auschwitz" look, eat a sammitch, and do corset training. - gaoshan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Well, when I was a youngster I also liked those "perky breasts" you speak of. Now that I am "old", married and with kids, I'm learning the finer points of enjoying dangling, saggy, south-pointing breasts that one could tuck into one's belt. Aww who am I kidding, saggy ***** suck (I suppose they'd make good hacky sacks, though).
- SwamiG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Actually, he could have left out "tall" and "handsome."
- kidc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14@megaman2005
Yeah because we all know the guys who have their digg id named after a video game are major pussy magnets... ***** I'm gonna have to go now and change my id to zeldaluvr07 - hybridcreation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13You're right on all accounts. Which is why I don't rely on the fashion industry to tell me what beauty is.
Victoria's Secret being the exception, of course. Those girls have the glorious distinction of being both thin AND having ***** and ass.
Adriana Lima = one of the most beautiful women to walk the face of this Earth - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13What are you talking about? That looks nothing like Mr Jones, your high school principal.
