Too Skinny?
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).

Obviously fake. Being that thin would make your face gaunt as well.
Posted by Bob on Thu Mar 04, 2004 at 05:52 PM
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.
Posted by Mary on Thu Jul 01, 2004 at 07:16 PM
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.
Posted by a guy in usa on Wed Sep 01, 2004 at 01:26 PM
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.
Posted by rob in sydney on Mon Dec 06, 2004 at 11:47 PM
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.

Posted by kiersten in manchester tennessee on Thu Apr 28, 2005 at 01:55 PM
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!

Those girls are way too skinny! I'm a size 12 and I love my curves!!!

Posted by Ally in Indianapolis, IN on Thu Jan 18, 2007 at 08:01 AM
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.

Posted by lala in pa on Tue Apr 17, 2007 at 05:33 PM
we think skinny models are awesome! we idolise them... our whole life exists around trying to be like them!.. what i would give to be like that.. x x x x x
Posted by lilli and latoya on Sun Sep 02, 2007 at 10:16 PM
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 Emma on Wed Oct 03, 2007 at 12:51 PM
fake or not,these icons are not to be seen by little children.for god sake,somebody do something.bring normal models back!!
Posted by helena in greece on Thu Dec 06, 2007 at 06:17 AM

Posted by Vanessa in NC,Charolett on Tue Feb 26, 2008 at 01:28 PM
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.
Posted by ashley on Wed Mar 05, 2008 at 01:36 PM
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.
