and attack would be a "when-will-you-short-bitches-just-give-up" post.

I'm sure we'll see that one tomorrow.

Edit:  I'm still laughing at "Haubbits" - that's too good, definition and all.

I should've linked this thread to the one that's now in the lock log.

I kinda wonder what I missed that made it get hidden.

You will NOT walk at Fashion Week for any of the major designers in NYC, Milan, Paris, London and Tokyo.

Maybe you'll be able to walk for some really small designer (pun intended) who shows in some club during fashion week... but it's still not for the big league... and that's what's all about...

The fantasy world of haubbits...

aw poo...that means when I go to Japan i'll still be too short! boo! I want to dress up like a pretty lady on stage with a look so dead sexy serious that everyone will want to buy my outfit! maybe Osaka then...;p

i've never done any kind of modelling outside of australia, so i'll take your word on bryant park ..  (i've heard of the kate moss thing time n' time again..

kate moss is taller than 5'5.. 5'7 i think she is if not taller. the only reason why she is signed is because people thought she'd grow and she did, a little. if you notice she hardly does runway anyway. mostly editorials. i love kate but i hate when the "delusional haubbits" as you call them bring her up!

it is beyond my logical comprehension to understand why so many threads are dedicated to scrutinizing short models, especially those that 'dream' of runway (please note that i, as i'm sure many other non 6'0' women, DONT dream of it.. but you 'assume'), when their dreams have nothing to do with you, but the irritation is still there. From what i understand, this is nothing but hateful, disrespectful and spiteful energy being directed at the 'little people' by those in so-called power.. i'm sorry i feel this way, but i am amazed at how ardent some people are at denegrating people they perceieve as inadequate, or less capable.. as though its a crime to dream. LET the dreamers dream, everyone comes to their own realisation.. the majority of haters though, are fixated on the third stage of conventional moral development.. most people dont get past that, nevertheless know what it means

i am humored by the immaturity

there wouldn't be discrimination if they didn't try to march on land that doesn't belong to them. it's annoying when someone is casting for a show and someone who doesn't fit the bill shows up and wastes time. time is money!

This is for all those models who are too short to qualify and are NOT known celebrities, who clinch to the belief that they too must be able to walk the big league in high fashion runway modeling, especially the superbowl of 'high fashion anything':

                            NYC Fashion Week

Three helpful threads about the subject don't awake those models out of their dream world and no matter how much is being explained from industry insider... they keep on chasing their own tail because some dude who shot them and their mama tell them that they belong on a major runway:

Why runway shows need tall models:

Why do short models insist of doin Runway?

Modeling Success: RESEARCH


I propose a new definition, inspired by Junk Fashion and J.R.R. Tolkien:

"A very short model that lives in a fantasy land who believes that she has a birthright to walk the high fashion runway of NYC or the other 4 high fashion centers in the world for the major designers" = "haute couture hobbit" or its shortform:


                                          "haubbit" *

I saw a short model ROCK IT on the runway... Better than the rest of us.

Anyways, what height do you consider a haubbit? Am I a haubbit??
And what's the purpose of this thread? To ridicule people of their dreams? Informing is one thing, but your tone suggests otherwise.

Nope, you are not... at 5'8" you are tall enough for some designers at fashion week.

Truth is, they look usually for a minimum of 5'9" (prefer 5'10")...

But... you have to read the definition of a haubbit... it has to do with delusions of walking NYC Fashion Week for, let's say Diane von Furstenberg, Chado Ralph Rucci, etc., at let's say 5'4" and insisting that they will change the industry and that they can "rock the runway" better than tall girls.

Problem with this is... the big industry shows are not about "rocking the runway", or about the model it is about presenting the clothes to a buying audience... and that is unfortunately often completely overlooked.

I'm normally the shortest at fashion shows, but my walk is pretty fucking killer, so I don't care...and neither do the people that have me represent them

Yeah, but you also do not insist of walking NYC Fashion Week for Carolina Herrera!

So, this is not about you and you are not a haubbit!
