Have you seen the story of the 30 year-old Romanian model with the 20 inch waist? Reports have her at either 5’6″ or 5’7″ tall and just 84 pounds. When Radar first ran a photo of her people were quick to say that the image was Photoshopped, but a google image search reveals that this model really does have a waist you could fit your hands around. I just found a video of her, above, and it’s jaw-dropping. The photos don’t do her justice at all. She’s some kind of medical anomaly and what’s more is that she claims that she eats three meals of junk food a day, but concedes that her stomach is so small she can’t eat much. A nutritionist consulted by Radar says it’s not likely that she eats much and that she should be eating healthier of course. Here are some of model Ioana Spangenberg’s quotes on her “hourglass” figure as well as Radar’s story:
Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg has a freakish figure: She has a natural 20-inch waist in contrast to her 32-inch hips. At 84 pounds and with her wide hips and tiny waist, the 30-year- old model has been dubbed by the UK’s The Sun newspaper as “the human hourglass.”
Spangenberg said she eats three square meals daily but cannot gain weight in her mid area. She said when she was 13 years old her waist was around 15 inches wide.
“Someone could put their hands around it, their fingers would touch and they would still have extra room,” she told The Sun.
“No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time,” Spangenberg added. “I just have a small stomach. It’s a bit like having a natural gastric band – if I eat too much, I feel sick.”
Spangenberg told the paper that when she was in her 20s she struggled with her self-esteem.
“In Romania it is better to be overweight, because that means you are from a wealthy family…so while my friends were going out and dating, I was sitting at home with Mars bars wishing I could fatten up,” she said. – From IBTimes.com
She may have a 20-inch waist but model Ioana Spangenberg could also have cellulite, digestive problems and risk the onset of early menopause, a Hollywood nutritionist tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.
Carolyn Scott-Hamilton has not treated the model, but has given her expert opinion on the Romanian’s claims she snacks on junk food daily.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, despite 5ft 6 inch, 30-year-old Ioana only weighing 84 lbs, she insists she lives on a diet of chips, pizzas and kebabs.
“It’s definitely possible that she’s eating junk food every day but it depends how much,” Carolyn says. “It could be a small handful of chocolate and potato chips throughout the day.”
Even so, while Carolyn says the model could have a “super fast metabolism” eating a diet packed with junk food isn’t good, even if you’re skinny.
“If she’s eating all that salt and sugar she’s got to have cellulite,” the expert says. “She risks having problems with her reproductive system, her digestive track, as well as onset diabetes because she is eating so much sugar.”
Carolyn also says: “At 5ft 6 a healthy weight would be 130 lbs. But at 84 lbs that means she has very little to no muscle. It could mean she is so malnourished, starving even, that the muscles have atrophied causing the low weight.”
Although Carolyn says it is possible for someone to naturally have a fast metabolism she says it is less likely if you’re a 30-year-old woman.
“In order to be that thin, she would need to consume about 500 calories or less – about a quarter of a candy bar a day,” she says. “A high metabolism doesn’t work that well.”
Last week Ioana told The Sun, a UK newspaper: “No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time. I just have a small stomach.” – Radar Online
[From IBTimes.com and Radar Online]
Other sources claim her diet consists of “toast with jam or eggs for breakfast and has a snack of chocolate and crisps around 12pm. Lunch [is] sausage, chicken and potatoes, while later in the day she fills up on bread, meat and cheese sandwiches.” It’s hard to believe that anyone who weighs 84 pounds and looks emaciated could be eating like that and snacking on potato chips and chocolate. I tend to side with the nutritionist – the woman must be exaggerating how much she eats. Maybe she’s got a medical condition that makes it impossible for her to gain weight, though. It happens and it’s not like she looks healthy at all. That kind of waist requires some extreme corseting, doesn’t it? I don’t even want to look that up, but I will. It turns my stomach to think of reducing your waist like that, it just looks abnormal and it doesn’t seem like it can be achieved without a small waist to start with. It reminds me of Chinese foot binding.

They all claim that.
But my question is, why in all hell does she get modelling work– if she does.
WHO hires that!!
Fetish modelling companies, pro-ana porn sites, even mainstream modelling agencies would hire her; have you seen the bodies and faces of the models that walk the runway lately?
Pro-ana pr0n sites? I’m feeling a little queasy now after reading that.
I’m betting regular pro-ana sites are holding her up as a model of ana virtue.
exactly.
Omg, I’m w/ Petunia — pro ana mia P0RN?? wtf? That is a thought out of left field. Ick.
pro ana p0rn sites?? W.T.F. I think I have officially heard everything…..
That was my first thought – model for what?!
Yikes. Seriously. Does she actually model, or is this just the standard answer for “that is very unusual. Now what do you do”?
Who hires that? Ann Taylor would. Have you seen the models on their website. Their waists have been Photoshopped away to look almost like this girl.
I even wrote a letter to Ann Taylor complaining that I can’t tell how the clothes really fit because of the Photoshopping. I know they alter the photos because the draping wrinkles and pocket seams which would all be slightly lumpy are completely smoothed away.
I go CRAZY when I shop online and see the models. Specifically, shopbop and revolveclothing. I LOVE those sites but get so frustrated when I see those models. It’s one thing to show the clothes on beautiful women who are skinny, but a couple of the models are downright ill. I can hardly ever purchase the clothing because there is no way I can imagine how they would look on me (a size 10, sometimes 12). If these sites understood that the majority of the women are NOT 0’s or smaller, they would have an easier time selling their clothing.
Note: This is by no means an anti-thin rant, because I can appreciate that there are naturally thin women or women who work hard to be smaller than the north american average. I am only suggesting that these sites strike a balance between “bigger” and “way too fuckin small”.
I’m an 8(UK size) and they photoshop them smaller than me. I’m the smallest size they sell for!
It’s utterly insanse, as is that girls waist.
(Side note: you seriously damage rib structure and restrict lung capacity by corseting, it causes serious health problems and bad ribs won’t protect your internal organs in an impact. Never do it people)
Ewwwwwww. That is all.
Yeah that’s what I’m saying! EWW x1000!
Seriously. That is the SICKEST thing I have ever seen.
Oh. My. God. She is painful to look at, to me. I am actually grateful for my too fat waist at this moment.
Me too, Shelly. At least my muffin top is normal.
ditto
OMG this is freaking me out!!!
Where do her internal organs go?!?!! o_0
Yeah, that’s like circus sideshow freaky!
that was my first thought, too!! that video is very uncomfortable to watch.
@merski… in her purse.
That was my concern, too! I really want to know. Do they shrink to fit, or do they slide up into her chest or down into her groin? So bizarre to see her in action.
If you look closely at the pic of her in the red dress you can see they are al hanging out where her uterus should be. If that isn’t a sign of binding I don’t know what is. The body doesn’t naturally move organs.
Agreed. She’s probably been tight lacing in a corset for many years in addition to not eating.
Ehwwww
It’s disgusting- you can tell from her face that she’s either anorexic, or more likely, bulimic… she may eat that junk but she clearly barfs it up after. Sad & gross. She needs help.
more likely anorexic, bulimics trend to be puffier in the face, and you only lose one third if the calories you consume when you induce vomiting, its a common misconception too think bulimia will make you very thin. most tend, from what I’ve experienced and read, to be normal weight.
lol She should avoid strong winds.
Don’t visit Chicago, lol.
Brrr….she looks downright scary, like a ugly witch. And before you start talking about how insensitive I’m – if you put yourself out there as a model, you should be prepared to be judged by your looks.
This makes me sad.
she may have that waist, but she is indeed ugly. really really unattractive.
She looks like she belongs in a freak show. That’s just sad.
She probably dreams she is eating all that food during the periods when she is delirious from starvation. There just aren’t any words for that….
yesterday at the checkout line, I was looking at InTouch, and there was a picture of Leann Rimes, and I pointed out how grossly skinny she is now to my boyfriend, and he said that almost no women’s legs go straight up without touching and that he prefers that it comes to a triangle, and not have a shelf bisquits. I agree.
She is obviously lying about “all of the big meals” she eats and the mars bars she was eating while her friends were on dates. She has made her stomach be so small by not eating real meals her entire life, which is why she can’t handle normal sized meals now.
What are shelf biscuits?
Like instead of your legs coming together near the top of your thighs, you have no legs touching until you get to your vajay, and then it creates a square….a bisquit shelf!
My legs don’t touch. I guess I must be a freak. Should I go feel bad about myself all day?
I’m mixed asian anscestory. My skinny little bird legs don’t touch either. Guess I’m not a REAL woman?? /:(
calm down ladies. that wasn’t a dig at naturally skinny girls. it was a dig at people who don’t naturally have tiny legs, but starve themselves down to it.
She looks pathetic and Fug!
I hope it’s a medical condition which prevents her to gain weigh, otherwise we have another anorexic model.
Edit: I can’t believe this girl is a model she looks like a total freak.
There is nothing remotely attractive about that body.
Watching that video of her made me feel so sick.
… Or that face, if we gonna be honest
agreed.
Reminded me of foot binding too! She looks like of model of “how not to look” so I don’t know who is selling this as sexy. She seems to be more of a “Oh my God” circus attraction than a model.
Talk about encouragement for those creepy pro-anorexia sites. I truly hope no girl or woman looks at that hoping to achieve such a figure. How sad and revolting.
In addition, her face has nothing attractive to offer,IMHO.
shows the deep sickness of anorexia. maybe not just in her, but in society as a whole…the hatred of women’s bodies and the abuse that is done to them.
Okay, eating air and hot water is not considered junk food.
If the fashion industry insists on woman looking like third world children, why not just hire them and put a stop to woman killing themselves like this?!
The crisps she speaks of eating must be cocoa dusted ice chips!
LOL. Oh I’m so full just reading about it! 😉
Don’t joke – my local health food store sells cocoa-dusted air-dried KALE chips. They’re horrible-tasting, yet bizarrely also totally more-ish!
@tapioca, I once tried kelp noodles, because I noticed that they’re only 6 calories a serving and I figured I could eat a ton and be full. However, I could barely get a serving down. They taste and smell like old fish and the texture is equally as bad! I think I’d much prefer the cocoa kale chips, as bad as they sound.
You should try tofu shirataki noodles! 20 cal / serving and they taste good. They do smell a little weird when you first dump them out of the bag, but I just drain and rinse them.
@HK, I have tried them and they taste similar to kelp noodles! I’m probably not rinsing them enough to get rid of the fishy taste and I’m really not sure how to prepare them. Do you use sauce and season?
if she purposely make herself that thin… i said it’s really disgusting. she can be the alien in “Artificial Intelligence” movie. SOmebody need to feed her before she become more ill.
even if i could look like that, which i can’t, i wouldn’t want to. Who finds that attractive? I can’t imagine most normal people would. I think that the people who are attracted to the pro-ana girls would be attracted to this one too.
I feel bad for her. She looks so vulnerable. I read where she said she finally feels special and beautiful. Let’s take it easy on her.
That. Is. NASTY. She looks like a bird!!
20″ waist and 32″ hips? There looks like much more of a difference there.
If she’s telling the truth, she must have some sort of medical issue happening. Otherwise she’s starving herself. Either way, she doesn’t have a model’s face.
There was a similar story online about another woman with a 20-inch waist…who wore corsets to bind her waist into such a horrible shape! Maybe this woman also used corsets to achieve this look? I think this woman must have a type of mental illness…that makes her “think” she looks great…when she really looks un-well!
Yes. Corseting for sure. I did it after I had my first son and it can make a drastic difference the longer the wear it. I eventually gave up on it because I never learned to lace it up on my own and always needed someone’s help to get it really tight. There were also several occasions where I felt like I was going to pass out and when the metal boning was digging into my ribcage and causing bruising and sores. I’d like to see pictures of her as a teen. I don’t believe there is anything “natural” about that.
I’ve worn corsets to a few parties but couldn’t keep them on for more than a few hours, they’re so restrictive and there was nowhere for the cake to go!
You managed it all day??
LOL. Yes. I did it everyday for about three months, but then the chaffing and sores got so bad I couldn’t take it anymore and had to stop. It’s definitely a commitment!
I love the bit about the “natural gastric band.” Honey, you feel sick while eating because the corset is pulled so tight.
and of course, all men just love this.. BLAH!
Nah, I doubt it…..most of the men I know prefer women with a little bit of meat on their bones. She looks like a freak.
I don’t think so. Sure, some do, but in my experience even those who prefer skinny women find this kind of extreme corseting – or even “naturally” skeletal figure – pretty unsettling. Just like some men like their women rather chubby, but still can’t understand that others get all hot and bothered about fat folds*.
Really, it’s all in moderation for most.
* ETA: not meant as a dig on the overweight, because to these people it’s ALL about the fat instead of the person (see especially the “feeders”).
Only men with an anorexia fetish would like it. No man I’ve encountered would be attracted to her.
She’s probably a stand-in for ostriches.
She. Looks. Disgusting!
She looks like a rat!
No, not like a cute little mouse, but those cartoonish sewer rats (ok, now I insulted all sewer rats in the world).
she is not naturally that skinny (this is an old story):
http://www.acasatv.ro/emisiuni/afla-povestea-ioanei-spangenberg-romanca-ce-se-poate-lauda-ca-are-o-talie-de-40-de-centimetri-video.html
it says here that she uses a corset to reach her goal: having the smallest waist. a new way to make publicity: i am naturally that skinny. pff.
What a disgusting thing to do to one’s self and more disgusting to pass it off as “normal” because you know some vulnerable ana’s will read this and die (maybe literally) trying to emulate the look by not eating. Just disgusting, and shame on her for lying (for the above reason.)
Ewww she’s ugly and weird looking and not in the edgy weird fashion kind of way.
Some people get their bottom two ribs removed. And work with corsets tighter and tighter to look like that. Scary but true.
There’s actually never been a recorded case of vanity rib-removal (I’m sure someone somewhere has had the procedure done for medical reasons). It’s one of those urban myths that sounds so outrageous it must be true.
Tight-lacing on the other hand, certainly does happen, though mostly in the fetish community. I never tight-laced but I did lace down to 24″ and I’m not a skinny girl. Surprisingly corseting is very easy to get used to if you do it long enough (the first couple of weeks aren’t so fun!) I wore a corset every day for 5 years until I wore it out and I was too broke to replace it, lol.
I’ve found a role for her! An alien from Men in Black 4? 🙂
Maybe she does have a disorder that prevents her from gaining weight. I simply cannot believe the amount of food she claims to eat. I just can’t imagine all that crammed into that tiny, tiny waist. I dunno. She looks so under- and malnourished that she looks like she’s in her 40s in the red dress. I hope she gets better.
she is emaciated. even if this is her natural body it is unattractive and skeletal. in this perverse society it would not surprise me for someone to actually be targeting the demographic that sees the anorexic/bulimic body as attractive and thereby hiring her to model. but by any normal standards of beauty she falls short. imo she is in serious need of immediate medical attention.
I believe her that she eats all day, but she pukes all day too.
Shiiiiver. OMG this gives me chills. I am being honest when i ask. How is this women alive? Her heart must be sooo worn out. And i imagine her body ate her internal organs long ago!
seriously when i was looking at the picture of her in the blue little shrug, all i thought was ‘she’s dying’… 🙁 look at the poor womans neck.
Her body looks like Angelina Jolie’s
Does this woman look like she could carry healthy twins? Please.
Anyone remember Ann from ANTM … her figure was similiar. Tall, skinny, TINY waist. And supposedly naturally so.
Ann’s waist was 18″, but she definitely didn’t look like this, which leads me to think that this girl isn’t exactly sure what “natural” means.
Omg, she looks horrific. Totally freakish. I don’t believe for a moment that she’s not starving. No company should glorify this and hire someone who’s clearly ill. (And yeah, totally made me think of foot binding.)
She probably does eat junk all day…and then turns around and throws it up.
Though really, her waist makes it look like she’s forced her way into wearing a corset everyday….
Who knows. sad though.
…then she must have a hell of a tapeworm.
Sad.
I cannot stress this enough: In Romania, IT IS NOT considered a sign of wealth to be overweight. It never was and never will be.
Who is this woman and why is she imposing her grotesque figure on us? I don’t care how naturally occurring her waist is; it cannot be healthy. Furthermore, if she is telling the truth about her eating she should see a nutritionist, an endocrinologist and a few other doctors; not give idiotic and misleading interviews.
EDIT:
From the link posted above:
“A woman is submitting herself to incredibly difficult corseting exercises in order to break a world record. She wishes to have the thinnest waist in the world. Unsurprisingly, Ioana -a Romanian who now lives in Germany- is very close to her goal: she currently measures 40 cm around her midsection.”
well, as she says, she eats junk food but very little of it. so she probably just eats one fry, one bite of a sandwich etc.
i can say from experience that the only way to put on weight when you have a fast metabolism is to exercise and to eat healthy food. junk food has almost no nutritional value. when i was doing the fast food diet, just living on frozen pizza, crisps, ice cream, chocolate, coke and the occasional fruit, i didnt put on a single pound! but when you exercise you get a bigger appetite, your stomach starts to expand and you can eat more. and if you eat healthy stuff it helps to develop muscle weight.
having said that, i cant see how this woman has this “issue”. usually women with a fast motabolism – and especially those who eat junk food to try to gain weight – still have a comparatively normal face. she on the other hand has an eating disorder face. i would bet all my money that if you were to put this woman into a program with controlled exercise, regular healthy meals and with no corsets etc. she would put on weight.
“she would need to consume about 500 calories or less – about a quarter of a candy bar a day,” she says.”
A 2000 calorie chocolate bar?
An Oh Henry has 300 calories in the whole chocolate bar. Most chocolate bars are in the 300 calorie range. (I know this because at one time I was desperate to gain weight). I was eating whatever had the most calories. What is this 2,000 calorie chocolate bar this dietitian speaks of?
I am so glad you called that out! How big would that g.d. candy bar have to be to be 2K cal? Most candy bars run ~250-300 cal, so she’d be eating two full bars a day, not 1/4 a bar.
Well……she fugly.
Second, she can’t be doing this the healthy way. I mean, look at her. As if she eats three times a day, junkfood no less!? Please.
Ugh, I think I just threw up.
If she really ate junk food all day, other parts of her body would be bigger, even if her waist is an annomoly. God forbid she ever take a tumble…
she’s sooo ugly she’s hurting my eyes!
Ethel Granger looked like this- years or corseting even while she slept! A victim of her husbands sick fetishist abuse. No way is this model natural OR healthy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/02/vogue-italia-cover-ethel-granger_n_946236.html
I believe she’s eatng a ton….. she’s just not keeping it down.
I saw this last week. She looks like an alien/preying mantis. Very disturbing.
Oh dear lord! How does she walk? I’m impressed she has enough energy to walk down those stairs. How does the weight of her head and torso not snap her in half? I think she has a serious medical issue (not anorexia) and cannot put on weight. I just read something crazy yesterday on Cracked about aFrench soldier in the 1700s with some bizarre condition which caused him to always be hungry and painfully thin despite constantly eating EVERYTHING. His parents kicked him out of the house because they couldn’t afford to feed him. Same thing?
I dont doubt she eats three times junk a day. question is, if she keeps it.
Scary and extremely disturbing. The fact that she is getting modeling jobs makes me sick to my stomach.
That is DISGUSTING.
how sad that being freakishly skinny is apparently the only requirement to be a model. cause it sure wasn’t her face. it’s not even “high fashion” ugly. it’s just ugly.
She looks like an anorexic Olive Oyl
When I was in different parts of Romania it sure seemed like they ate meat at every meal. I’m not used to that so I didn’t eat much. Who knows what this girl really eats, if at all, but just wanted to share my experience with Romanian cuisine.
hahahaha I love a lying bitch!
Maybe it’s a tape worm in her tummy?
if it’s not, then she’s delusional, and begs the asked question, how is she a model if her body is so ugly? Who would want to look like her except other people with eating disorders? Is that a demographic to aim for now?
hope not.
We all know damn well she bound that stomach from a very young age for it to look that way AND she doesnt eat to maintain it. She is anorexic and she looks disgusting.
My thoughts exactly. So sad and gross, do people with these body issues really think they’re fooling anyone besides themselves?
Look at the photo. Her waist is 20″. Her hips are 32″. Look at the proportions. Estimate. They are a little ludicrous. Guesstimate.
Remember Scarlet O’Hara and her 18″ waist? All the girls tried for an 18″ waist. And we got pretty close.
We old girls look at the waist sizes in the mail order catalogs and wonder what has happened to genetics! A size 8 with a 30″ waist? Not in our days.
Waists were a minmum of 10″ less than hips, usually 15″ less!
Just gross looking. Reminds me of Barbie, but with an ugly emaciated face. If she’s been wearing a corset that tight for a long time, she’s probably done damage to herself internally and maybe she really can’t eat or process food normally, but I do not believe she eats all that junk food (unless it comes right back up afterward). Alot of the top models are super skinny and not really pretty, so this is just an extreme example of the same look, but still it’s shockingly ugly.
When she looks in the mirror does she worry about her waist making her hips look fat? Impossible to think because her hips look so angular there doesn’t seem to be much between the skin and bone.
That “thing” looks like unmitigated HELL!!! Abnormal in every way. I’m surprised people don’t run screaming from her!
It is possible i weight 100 lb and i eat a lot. It took me so much effort to put 5 lb i ate 3 pieces of cake every day plus chocolate cookies, butter on everything…if i don’t eat a lot everyday i instantly loose weight
Thank you SO much! I weigh 92 lbs, and you have no idea how much I have to eat to stay at this weight. I would love to be curvier instead of just skin and bones but I simply cannot eat enough to do that no matter how much I try. It drives me so nuts that I eat all the time trying to gain some weight and then I overhear people making nasty comments about how I need to eat a sandwich. The bottom line is, you never really know someone’s story, so maybe we should all just reserve judgement and shut the hell up.
Yup. Me too. I gues though, since this is an American web-site, we should expect hate for thinnner people here 🙁
How tall are you ladies? Because 84 lbs at 5’7″ doesn’t seem “natural” for anyone. You CAN be healthy at 100 lbs. My SIL is 4’11” 95 lbs and naturally thin. At one point I was 108 lbs at 5’7″ and looked too thin. I was frequently told to “eat a sandwich” at this weight, and eventually i put on 10 lbs and looked much healthier. I’m “small boned” and look healthiest at 115-120.
Hopefully your doctor has checked your thyroid to make sure it’s not overactive….and maybe you’re exercising like a fiend? – which is OK, as long as you don’t get overuse injuries and your periods don’t stop – then it’s maladaptive
100 lbs is fine. 84 is a different game. Even I had problems at that weight, and I’m naturally thin.
i used to be like that- 5 7 and 105 in high school. if you are still pretty young, i say don t worry about cramming yourself with food to gain weight- just eat and enjoy life and stay healthy. now that i m older, the pounds have crept up, a teeny bit at a time, just naturally… it’s nice to have boobs finally, but i wish i had appreciated my mega-metabolism when i still had it! it sounds trite, but try to enjoy what you’ve got when you’ve got it!
Grotesque and insect-like. Very unnerving- when she moves, I see horror film sequences with aliens or demonically possessed people writhing about on the floor in unnatural ways. This is somewhat frightening.
Nasty. Why would someone do that to their body?
She uses corsets simple as that and this “I’m naturally like this” shctick is just to gain publicity.
WHat a weirdo.
Looks like Rooney Mara.
Well, here’s a Wiki article on what she’s going for:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp_waist
Not only does she look absolutely frightening, she’s most likely going to have serious health issues from what she’s done to herself, even more so than ‘just’ anorexia due to the disfigurement she has ‘worked’ for.
And, I agree with some other comments that some girls may try to emulate this look. Which is very scary.
Yikes.
Yuck, I am wondering what Karl would say. I think he would say circus freak does not a model make.
You can tell from her face that she’s not naturally thin.
Just one time, I’d like a model to come out with it and not utter the usual BS of “But I do eat a lot”.
I’d like them to say that yes, they do heavily control their food intake, right down to the last calorie.
I don’t know whether to feel sorry for her. She thinks she looks healthy and attractive – not. But I’m really pissed that she is being promoted as a model. Do women need yet another model that so misrepresents them physically?
Looks like someone out of Modern Primitives. Definitely body modification, no way that’s natural.
Was this a magic show or something, cause I could see her standing there, then suddenly she started to turn and she disappeared! Then she was suddenly there again….weird.
…maybe she should be checked for diabetes type 1. If your body isn’t getting the nourishment it needs, it will start eating the muscle. If diabetes is the issue, she could literally eat a whole Big Mac w/ fries for every meal and top it with a chocolate cake dessert and would still be a stick … of course, she’d probably be dead in a few years, too.
Her figure looks like crap. I’m not sure why anyone would hire her.
A quarter of a candy bar a day?!? Jesus, I’d be eating sand by day two! Looking at her face though, it’s clear to see that she must have some sort of eating disorder and that makes me really sad for her. My brother and my best friend struggle with anorexia and it’s hell for them and the people who care for them. I hope she get’s the help she needs if she truly is sick :/.
I find her oddly beautiful.
She is killing it in that last picture.
Fugly……………
I cant imagine what that thing looks like naked!!! She looks like an Avitar…
Is this real??? She looks like rooney mara.
Yikes!!! If this chick’s a model, then I must be a supermodel.
To all the people calling this poor woman a “freak” and a “thing” and “grotesque” and saying “she belongs in a circus,” etc. have you considered that she might be SICK?
Would you be saying this about a woman who was missing a limb due to a medical condition?
How about questioning a society that fetishizes and objectifies womens’ bodies to such an extent that this woman is hired as a model? Who now feels ‘valuable’ in some way to society?
Some of you sound almost jealous of the attention that she’s getting and seem to feel ok attacking her for her “ugly face.” That frightens me more than her obvious illness itself.
THIS is why women are still striving for equality in this world; women attack each other instead of telling the society that supports and rewards this kind of illness and self-hatred to f-off.
Thank you! Yeah, I totally agree with you, calling her a freak and ‘eww’ won’t help at all, it’s the society that propagates this as an ideal woman that’s disgusting…
And she’s definitely sick, most likely it’s a mental condition, some seriously wrong self-image. It looks like she had some of her ribs removed. The Doctor who did this should have to resign…
The weird thing to me is she doesn’t look that unhealthy. Like, beyond her waist and stick legs, anorexic people tend to have more gaunt faces and their hair tends to look really unhealthy. Like, I doubt she eats as much as she says, but still. For someone with a body that tiny and emaciated looking, she doesn’t look bad. Not attracting (I’m in no way saying woman should look like this..I realised my wording isn’t that great for conveying what I mean). Granted, if she took her shirt off (I’m not bothering to look up more about her – not that interested to), I may think otherwise. In all the stuff I’m seeing, she has her torso covered, so perhaps she doesn’t look as healthy as I think she does.
Maybe she had some of her bottom ribs removed……….this is a hideous look, she looks like death.
Jezebel covered this and found where she came from – i.e. pics from a particular NSFW website. She appears to be quite ill – as are the websites she’s on.
I think this woman is truly a medical anomaly. Perhaps she has enhanced that effect with corsetting to make her waist even smaller, but I doubt it because there’s nowhere for her internal organs to go. They are already compressed obviously, they would have to be. And I’m sure they are smaller than normal. She seems to have a normal chest so her heart is probably fine (which would explain how she got to be so tall), and her lungs are probably normal sized too. But her stomach, liver, kidneys and some of her intestines have got to be either undersized or squished, or both. I wonder if that will cause her health problems down the road. I mean, your liver and kidneys are essential to filtering poisons out of your body.
Either way, I doubt her diet has anything at all to do with her figure because the parts of her that are normally proportioned look perfectly healthy. Her hips are actually kind of wide for a model and her legs are slender but not sickly skinny. And she has actual boobs, which are made of fat mostly. I suppose they could be implants of course.
I will never understand why some women do this to themselves, go to such lengths to be thin even at the cost of their health. I am naturally very skinny and I can tell you right now that I’d GLADLY trade bodies with someone who has ‘a few extra pounds’ The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
that is f–king DISGUSTING
She is lieing thats for sure, her face and eyes say that she has some eating disorder,my mother is working at a hospital dealing with this type of women and girls…and they pretty much look like this, and worse…..I think she needs to go to hospital and check her mental health and physical condition right now…otherwise it can turn out sad…. scary plus, even her stature is very bad, walks very wobbly almost like she will fain in a sec!
It could be done by severe corseting at a young age. I saw a picture in article once on that. I also saw a story about a woman in South America who has an abnormal waist like that too a few weeks ago on one of the morning shows. She looks awful I think and her legs are so boney not sexy at all. Put some flesh on those bones and get some help.
Why is pro Ana porn worse than BBW porn? This person is skinny, but other than her waist looks like a girl from anywhere but the USA, where everyone is fat.
