By comparing her to similar models in the same position?

I don't know who she is, but if she's a model, she's fat (in horrible shape, whatever).

If she's some random person who people are making popular for the sake of being popular, then whatever. but that's fat for a model.

Ok, I now know who she is.

googled her, imgmodels.com  says she has a 25" waist. Her waist is as big as mine, and it's 27" or 28"  She looks bigger than Crystal Renn.

She's hot, I won't deny that, but she's not model sized at all.

And that first photo posted did make her look like a squishy brick. It was an excellent description.

Agreed.

She might have a great body, but if it squishes when she walks, you kind of have to expect people to point it out.

When I first read your post, I actually thought you were joking.

If that's fat for a model, you must be Keanu Reeves and this forum...it must be the Matrix.  And I'm Gandalf.  What more do you want, to be able to see her spleen?  Oh my god, look!  She has a bicep!  Ahh shit, she has breasts.  I guess she doesn't look like a 6-foot tall 11-year-old.  But in horrible shape?  Oooookay. 

I guess something like this would be more your style:  http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/phot … 26805a.jpg

I generally expect swimsuit models to look more like this...

You're comparing a SI cover shot to a runway snap shot?





You're a photographer.... right???

It has nothing to do with ourselves, we're not models.

Definitely not even close to one of the better figures as far as models go (IMO).

I'd hit it for sure... but then I'd think "i could have done better" ... alessandra ambrosio on the other hand... wouldn't have gotten the caveat.

Definitely hot and she has a cute dance! (lol) Not even close to 'fat' in the general sense.

Nope, I'm comparing their middles.

Have you seen a runway snapshot of a regular runway model? because they're still that size whether or not it's a snapshot or a magazine cover.

She's regular girl size though.... if most fashion models walked into their agency that size, they'd be sent home, and told to go make the gym their second home.

(and the animated gif posted more than once, is locking up my computer, so I have to get out of here.)

I'll just refer you to Paige Morgan's post earlier in the thread. And, I wish you the best of luck in figuring out the difference.

Cheers!

Anyone else going to note that she looks slimmed via Photoshop there? Majorly? At least her arm mostly. But I can see where they may have slimmed her thighs and legs and tucked the tummy too.

Far as I can tell, she does lots of high end glam/lingerie/swimsuit/commercial stuff.....and those ladies do tend to be a bit curvier than the couture catwalk models.

That would be unheard of. SI would never do that. But thanks for bringing it to our attention. LOL

You're a clever one Mr.

Astounding. There have been MMer models who are grossly obese and some so homely they've been mistaken for men, yet they get the "You go, girl! You're beautiful!" treatment. Yet Kate gets treated like a no-name pig.

I wish someone could explain it to me.

it's not jealousy.  because if you suggest that a MM model is somehow jealous of a well known model, well, you just don't understand!
