See, I aways thought Naima had a very exotic face, due to her mixed background. And the only way girls with Normal faces shine as models is if they are skinny to the point of disgusting. Like Kate Moss, I always thought Kate Moss's face looked not only normal but really not even that attractive. But her tiny little body makes her a model??? gimme a break.

I dunno. I prefer models with beautiful/interesting faces and average bodies (well model-average anyway) to the other set.

SHe is OBVIOUSLY Sick ....HEr bones are JUTTING out like an anorexic.....THAT is not natural!

The BMI is bullshit and should be burned
obviously every one is born with a different body type....just because someone is naturally tall and thin doesn't mean they are unhealthy..it would be more unhealthy to eat like a pig until they are at BMI 18... i dont know who this chick is nor do I watch this show...but putting the BMI thing in there is really unfair and naive.

This girl winning this makes as much sense as if Betty Ditto was to win it.

^No, i saw the episode. Its real.
They called in a nutritionist to help her gain some weight. As time went on and i got used to seeing her she looked less 'scary skinny' but shes still very fragile looking, and old-womanish.

^^^Anything under 18.5 is considered underweight. I think a push towards a healthier MODEL is a great idea. I forget what magazine it was, but not too long ago there was a fashion spread with a thin girl, but she was healthy. It grabbed my attention. She looked wonderful. Full of life, and certainally not like she might have been carried out on a stretcher.

I know that raising the BMI standards for models isn't a cure all but I do think that if young girls and even other grown women don't see so many images of emaciated models maybe we have a better chance of apprecaiting ourselves as WOMEN.

All the guys at my work were spewing when they found out she one. They couldnt believe it, they called her nasty and fug. I dont even watch the show, so I was curious to see who they were yappin about. Now that ive seen her, I would have to agree....she's fug and ive seen other pics of her, she is extemely ordinary looking imo.

^I agree. I dont watch the show either. unnaturally or naturally thin the chick is disgusting.

I would definitely prefer the models with actual women's bodies over this sack of bones... its really odd to me.. not attractive in the least...

I think Alice is pretty enough, she has a 'model' look.

But she made ME uncomfortable at times with her extreme paleness and skinny body, and lack of confidence. Plus, she has no personality.

I wanted the other girl to win- but they went on about how young she was (shes 16) in the finale, and she was in tears because she knew then that she didn't have a chance anymore. Then why did they put her in the competition in the first place! It wasn't fair. She's gorgeous.

**CRAZY 'N' NUTS** · June 9th, 2007, 06:13 AM

^^ she does look better than the winner. Even in that pic she looks awful, It looks like someone slammed a frying pan across her face

DitaPage* · June 9th, 2007, 06:24 AM

^And shes only 16, give her time. She'll be a stunning woman.
I just got pissed off that all this time they said 'shes gorgeous, what a face, she'll work anywhere' and then at the finale they say 'shes too young'. At that point it was obvious who would win.

**CRAZY 'N' NUTS** · June 9th, 2007, 06:27 AM

^^ the frying pan comment was for the 'what's her name' winner, not the chick your talking about. I actually agree with you, I think the 16 yr old is much more prettier
