what i don't understand is that these people who are so critical of the images shown in magazines like this (fashion magazines, of all things) can't understand that it is hugely about looks. if a photo is supposed to show a new design, it will be shown on the model's figure, as that is how the clothes are supposed to be shown. yes, there are some designers who go toward plus-size and regular ladies, but the biggest part of designer fashion houses is exclusivity.
on that note, i love those models who's "flaws" are what made them famous. for example, lindsey wixson, with her gap between her two front teeth. a model who was born only 3 days before me, in the same year, who is also from my home state, kansas. she holds a special place in my mind because so many girls really could obtain the level of success that she has - perhaps not in modeling - but in whatever field they are talented in. she gives me hope that someday it won't matter that i came from kansas and i'm a "small-town girl," but instead that my talent will shine through.
here are some photos of the lovely lindsey wixson, in all of her beauty, talent, and realness.
please remember that these models are people, too. just because their beauty and bodies are shown as unattainable, doesn't make them lesser humans. these girls love the same thing i do, fashion, photography, beauty.. they cannot be faulted for taking advantage of the natural talents and looks that they were born with.
