i am a model, alternative model! iv got myself down about...not me weight, but my body shape...i have had 3 children so i have a mummy tummy. i have a body like renaissance, pre-rafaelite paintings. it just seems to me that it is all about what is in fashion at the time...but a good model will be able to deliver creatively what the designers/photographers want. its not just about looking attractive. but i think there will be a lot of girls who will get turned down for work because they are not perfect, but they would probably produce amazing pictures...which is a shame. as for weight, being healthy is the most important thing. some people are healthy being like a stick...others are healthy with some weight. tis all in the eye of the beholder. and anyway...everything in magazines is edited. im qualified in photo manipulation and i know that the photos in mags are not the same as when they are taken!!! xxx
