WATCH: Breast Cancer Survivor Gives Stirring Response To Komen…
Definition Of Pornography At Center Of Paris Sex Shop Trial
Ever since Gemma Ward strutted down the Chanel runway on two things that more closely resembled human legs than fleshy toothpicks that bend, the supermodel has had a hard time getting work, reports the most recent issue of Page Six magazine. Aw, come on!What does a "fat model" look like? You're looking at it. The picture at left is from the night Ward shocked the fashion world by being "big." In fact, after the show one headline read: "CHANEL SPRING '08 EMBRACES THE BIG GIRL."
Dear Lord Above, if that's a big girl, we may as well eat tubs of frosting for the rest of our lives, because we ain't never going to be thin.
Gemma started modeling when she was 16, which means that we were all looking at the cover of Vogue wondering why we couldn't look like someone who should have been studying 10th-grade geography.
How incredibly messed up is that? Now she's 22 and has filled out accordingly, which unfortunately means work for her is very scarce, even though we would love to see a model who isn't an amalgamation of sharp angles and jutting bones.
After all, there's always another rail-thin teenager out there somewhere who would gladly take her place. Maybe modeling agencies should look to the UK, where teenage girls are starving themselves so they can look like the "before" Gemma. Good job, fashion industry: From now on I'm buying all my clothes from Conway, just to be sure you don't get my money.

She's still rail thin and hot. I hope she doesn't take those harsh comments to heart. The fashion industry doesn't know shit about anything, even fashion for that matter. Nice ugly outfit, Gemma.

Yet another example of how embarrassing the fashion industry has become. When was the last time you saw a good looking designer? I mean Tom Ford is an attractive man, but he loves to "shock" us with nudity. That's about it.... they want perfect bodies for some ideal even they themselves cannot reach!

I would love to be that "fat."
If that is considered fat then I'm officially considered OVERWEIGHT.

Girl, don't let it bother you. If the fashion world thinks skinny is right, then there thousands of models in Africa, (starving to death) , that might suit them. Besides I have never seen anyone wearing the colthes being modeled today.Anyway being thin is not always healthy.

Agreed. All those girls who love to be sickly thin don't realize they love to be unhealthy. I can't believe that people let the fashion world tell everyone they should starve themselves

I know this will sound sexist, but why do women keep buying into the garbage foisted on them by the fashion industry? Why don't they just tell them to take a very long walk off a very short runway? Generally speaking, men don't buy into the fashion nonsense which is why men's clothing styles haven't changed all that much for decades, except for the width of collers, lapels, and ties. I thought women were supposed to be "liberated" and wanted full equality? So why to they let these fashion fools force them into anorexia to look like some ridiculous ideal? I don't understand it.

I cannot understand how jutting bones with skin stretched over them could be considered sexy anyway.Gemma has filled out very well but by no means is she fat! If you look at who the fashion designers are one can make the assumption that they have a few screws lose anyway.

As long as the fashion industry is ran by gay men (yep! I said it!), they will continue to perpetuate an unrealistic image of women. Most gay men do not like women. They have the models looking like pubescent boys instead of REAL women. When women realize the subliminal AND overt motivations that go into the "fashion" look, then, hopefully, they will stop buying into the nonsense.
HINT to women: If your man/boyfriend/whatever goes gaga over rail thin models, chances are he's gay.

That is without a doubt the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. Yes, there are gay men in the fashion industry, but really, they hate women? Most gay men like women, just not sexually. And most women like them because they don't present a threat to them and won't make a pass at them. The standard for rail-thin models has been around for a couple of generations now, and please show me the proof that was set by gay men. I know plenty of straight men who bitch about their girlfriends/wives weight all the time. Seems to me maybe they are the ones perpetuating the weight obsession women have -- and exactly what reason would a woman have to look good for a gay man anyway?

All the gay men I know not only like women, they treat us like people. As for the fashion industry, they had as well send clothes down the runway on mannequins.

Well said. Totally agree with your comment. Most fags hate women because they themselves cannot be one. Therefore, they hire women who look like little boys. A woman with no curves is a man.

I agree with Duh Duh Man. I can tell you have nothing against gay's but are stating a fact that these idiot's like seeing these kind' of women. So skinny that when they turn sideway's they disappear. My son is gay but you really wouldn't know it. He doesn't speak like these other so called gay's that have to practice talking in a certain way. My son is my hero and is a better man then most. Why do we get judges and designer's like this who support this kind fashion? These women are some of the most unhealthy people I've ever seen. This model fat? Good God almighty. Now here is women I would love to be seen with. She is beautiful in and out. Now she's a model.

We Need More Like her..
And They should show her Behind... That is what is Considered Fat as well
But very nice for MIddle Age Women..
espeically if have children..
And not to forget? over 50% of your " weight" comes from your Family/Parents Genes..and What kind of Eating Habits they have.....
so Go Blame them if your Overweight to begin with..
Thus if your 50 lbs overweght? You'll be lucky to get rid of 25 lbs and keep it off at best..
Why do you think they tell the Guys when picking out a Mate/Wife?
Like Mother , Like Daughter..
