Yikes! She looks awful!

i agree! does she have a fungus growing on her lower back or something?

Was wondering the same thing!

Eeeew, that is some funky looking stuff. WTF!

it says in the article that she has psoriasis. i'm assuming that's what that is.

well, it's REAL attractive whatever it is. ugh. i'm happy my sweetie likes a girl with some curves.

*hugs belly* I might be in the plus sizes, but I'm a happy and healthy fatty!

I blogged about this earlier when I heard - and really do wish there weren't impressionable young girls out there who are stuck with the idea size zero is the only way to go to get into modelling.

Unfortunately that's not the case, and I know many girls will become seriously ill, and some will die, this year because of it.

The photo linked below is the other one of the photos, and not shown in the link above. It's a screengrab I took from the Nolita website (which has both images in flash format).



Mxx

I am six feet tall, and have always battled my weight. At 22 I weighed a mere 123. And that was the ONLY time in my life I ever thought I was TOO skinny. I do not weigh that now --thank goodness--I accept who I am.

Did you just hug your belly?

yes, yes I did. :P

/Pats chez's belly.

How is this ad campaign controversial?

When I was seventeen, I weighed 118 lbs. I was tiiinnnyyy. I now have beautiful curves, and boobs you just want to sink your teeth into. I still wear size 4-5 shoes though :p

I don't really find the psoriasis disgusting - I mean, check out this guy who has it worse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Psoriasis_on_back.jpg) - granted, it's not that attractive, but she can't help it, and it's not really all that noticeable. It's just a shame because her skin condition probably aggravated her anorexia, and certainly destroyed her chances of becoming a normal model.
