Emaciated Models (What Else is New?)

Okay, so I was hunting for photos to use in my next post, when all of the sudden I noticed the models at La Redoute.

They look so unhealthy! They remind me a bit of Jaslene from America's Next Top Model because they are so skinny and angular, except they look even skinnier, and their faces look hollow. I know it's not exactly shocking to see unhealthy-looking models, but I don't usually notice it to this extent. In fact, I'm usually annoyed at myself for thinking that certain models look good, when I know that I should be thinking that they are unnaturally thin.

I don't like to openly judge people's body types. Maybe the La Redoute models have trouble putting on weight. Maybe the dark circles under their eyes (Why isn't an airbrusher on top of this?) have always been like that, or they're just not getting enough sleep.

Maybe.

But somehow I doubt it.

That's because they're fashion models not catalogue models. They're meant to be tall and skinny, most agensies look for girls with a "special" look which most often is defined facial features, etc. (But then again, I'm no expert.)
