But there are still any number who starve themselves down. This whole debate started because a model literally dropped dead a few weeks ago as she came off the catwalk. She had been living for months on leaves and diet coke. Also, I know someone who was scouted in an airport when she was about 14. The first thing they said to her when she arrived at the agency was that she needed to lose 25 pounds. And this now woman was not even remotely anything but skinny. If you've ever seen a model in person you would understand that for the majority, this is not a normal body weight. It's not like even ten years ago when you had bigger models with healthier figures.
Anyway, at least we know that no matter what size the models are, they'll always have one constant: they're pretty vapid.
