I'm 5-6 and weigh 128 lbs, and if that girl is overweight, I'm morbidly obese. These designers are freaking crazy. Why would they want somebody who looks like a concentration camp survivor modeling their clothes? 5’10″ and 120 lbs and she’s “overweight”? I’m 5-6 and weigh 128 lbs, and if that girl is overweight, I’m morbidly obese.

What evs, I think that is YOUR misconception right there. I highly doubt that most models think they are more beautiful than everyone else. Even the most 'beautiful' women can be terribly insecure about their looks, and not think they are beautiful at all. All they know is, someone will pay them to paint up their faces and drape clothes on them. Oh, and pay them not to eat. So they do it. No doubt there are some beautiful women who do feel superior, just as there are some unattractive women who feel superior. I go with the old saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." Don't hate someone just because someone thinks they are beautiful. ;) @ stacy – LOL!

I'm not saying models are ugly most are at least attractive, but I havee seen many that have been down right ugly. The reason they are models primarily is not because of their face, it's because they are tall and thin. There are loads of beautiful girls with better faces than models but they are not going to be a model because they don't have height or weight that fits the requirements. I can understand Bitter Betty's point and for being bitter. If someone is able to just make a load of money, be called beautiful(even though many are not) just because they are a model and fit a certain height and size range, it gets annoying and and makes women feel bad about themselves. For the life of me I can't understand why Giselle Bundchen is considered such a beauty. She has a narrow face, close together eyes,largish nose, even her body isn't that great. Straight up down with plastered on fake tits. But because she's been a sucessful model, so somehow she;s the most beautful? I think unattractive women relate to her.. Her name suits her because she looks like a Gizelle. She is attractive at best, if she wasn't so tall and giselle like I wouldn't even look twice at her. And she's just one of many examples of models that are raved about and IMO really do not have outstanding faces. Many people can look awesome if you have professional photography and professional makeup artists on hand. So Katyusha, Stop thinking you're beautiful just because you were a model. That doesn't mean anything. Be happy you were born with tall height and ultra thinness (genetics) so you could make a fortune off your physical characteristics.

And regarding the other, uglier fight going on here: I could never be a model. Don't have the looks or any of the traits necessary to be one. They DO get good money and the job's not necessarily rocket science, but how many of us are rocket scientists?! Fact is, people don't always get paid what they're worth. I was sitting outside just now taking a smoke break while the cleaning lady was busy, relentlessly scrubbing away at the dirt. She has a back-breaking job but does not get paid a fraction of what I get. Yet I get to take regular smoke breaks. Not fair. The world's not fair. Bottom line: If you can't do what a model can do, don't complain. Their jobs aren't easy either. They just make it seem that way, I suspect.

But seriously, FH is beautiful and by no means fat. I can't think of any reason why RL would have let her go. Both him and his buddy karl need to f**k off.

Ralph Lauren is offensive to all women if he brands this woman "fat". Disgusting & vile little man. She is naturally beautiful, even without makeup.
