I found this recently when I was looking around to see what sort of sizes models are...

Basically, a size 12 uk is a size 8 USA and the judges deemed the lady in the first photo as being too fat.

The second girl, even though voted out by the audience, was the one taken on by the agency.

The thin one looked almost alien. I'll take the size 12 over that one any day...

Is stupidity in fashion again this year?

Neither. Most models barely look like human beings and these two are no exception. The bottom one is obviously too skinny and the top one just doesn't look right somehow.

The top one isn't a model, she is a normal mother of one who decided to challenge this whole size 0 model thing.

Thin is so in fashion it disgusts me... little girls everywhere are becoming anorexic to emulate the thin celebrities that Hollywood loves to field these days...

This almost makes me wonder if my AS was exacerbated because I was trying to emulate my celebrity role model:

The top one looks almost too thin to me. The thin one looks absolutely sick.

Why don't they just come up with designer coffins and challenge women to fit in them?

all i can say, as a female who is not a size zero, i am happy to see that someone of what i would call "normal size" won something like this based on viewer votes. that really says a lot, and it's too bad that most people probably won't even know about it. i know it makes me feel a lot better to be of a regular size now. only once in my life did i look as sickly as that second model...and i weighed more that her 8 stone. i was probably 10 1/2 stone, and with my height and frame, looked that bad. i realized it, and started eating again, and i don't think i would EVER want to be that thin again. anyone who thinks that someone who looks like a walking skeleton is attractive should really have their head examined. imho.

and remnant...i love what you said about the designer coffins...lol! ^_^

At the very least they haven't tried to make men look THAT thin yet... men on average are built larger than women to begin with... The average man is a good 20-30 lbs (10-15kg) heavier than the average woman (even moreso in the US than in other places, although the US has its own obesity problem to contend with as well...), and if men had to become anorexic en masse because of the standard the fashion industry set, I would probably lose all hope in humanity...

That being said, popular culture makes men destroy themselves in their own way... If you don't make above a certain salary, for example, you're worthless in the eyes of society. I'm not saying it's right, it's just that stupid standard that society has set. That's why Donald trump and Bill Gates are something of celebrities, even though they aren't exactly the best-looking men in the world. That being said, men try to emulate those celebrities by buying expensive cars and going deep into debt to try and look richer than they really are.

The top model is unquestionably more attractive, but modelling isn't about making women attractive, it's about making clothes look attractive. An healthy woman is an attractive woman, that's what we're genetically primed for, models are rather unhealthily linked with beauty and that's neither accurate nor useful. I know a lort of women who I consider more attractive than the average catwalk model, but it would be hopelesss getting them to believe they are that pretty because they just aren't thin. I once tried to convince a size 8 friend that she didn't have any fat to lose when she said she was going on a starvation diet but I might just as well have tried to convince her that she was 20 feet tall and made of solid gold.

Too many women take fashion magazines as gospel...

Me, I take Wikipedia as gospel...

The first model looked slender, but not unhealthy. The second one made me gasp in horror.

i thought the first one was gorgeous, the second one was disgusting. i can't watch fashion shows because the women in there disgust me, they're too thin and it's just unattractive.

OMG, with the second girl, I can literally see her bones hanging out from within her suit. Definitely not normal, it's disgusting. I don't know what guys see, but these thin models make me think of walking corpeses. Nothing sexy about it.

I guess the first one looks better.
