I’ wanna to hear your thoughts about skinny model. Cause in Mass Media appeared so many news about models with normal measurements or models plus-size. It’s very important for me & and my husband, we are both models & skinny. You can see us in my port.
I shoot models of various sizes although my general preference is for slimmer girls as they tend to be easier to to pose and shoot in a fashion style.
While I agree with the notion that there should be a greater diversity among the model population, I don't go along with the interpretation of this which says that anybody can be a model regardless of height, weight, look etc. Models, even plus sized ones, need to look like models - that's the most important factor of all.

From what I read on "plus" size models they aren't really "plus" size as the general public thinks of plus size, they are only plus size for the model world. I think though that it depends on what product you're selling or what product your customer will sell with the pictures you make for them. I don't really like to see ribs. I would prefer a model with a fuller figure. But for fashion models, it seems that thinner models work better for that industry. So I think thinner models are safe

I don't need to see ribs, but yes I prefer slim toned models. I have a guttural aversion to the morbidly obese. Industry "Plus Sized" models are curvy, yes, but most importantly they are toned as opposed to flabby.

did I say that?
there are many types of llamaing (and llamas) that I don't find personally beautiful. doesn't mean they're not llamas, doesn't mean that what they do isn't llamaing, doesn't mean someone else can't really really like it. "bbw llamaing exists" is not an opinion, I didn't say anything about it being beautiful or ugly, I just stated a fact. there are short, (morbidly) obese llamas out there who are quite succesful. you can find that ugly, that's fine by me, but that doesn't mean it's not true
Generally I don't want to see ribs. Most of the models I work with are average women and a wide range of sizes and shapes.
A special project requiring a thin model would likely be the only time I would choose one. I feel that medium size to bigger models look better in the genre of art nudes. I can't recall any model I have worked with who weighed less than about 130-140 pounds.

Sure, but what you find sexy (or not) is not necessarily what the rest of the world finds sexy (or not).
you don't find that sexy, you find that silly, that is perfectly okay and your opinion. Other people feel differently, which is why there is definitely a niche out there for "grapefruit stuffing themselves in a banana skin". I have no opinion about that, it just it what it is. You don't like it, then you don't shoot it right

win? it's not a fight...
anyway...
OP, you're beautiful, lots of thin girls are beautiful, lots of girls in other sizes are beautiful too. preferences vary, but generally speaking fashion is still mostly about thin models, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about
I shot a llama just the other day who was a UK size 14 (US 10) with DD breasts, a 30" waist and 42" hips and yet you could still see her ribs when she sucked her tummy in.
It's a sad commentary on the generally obese state of Western society these days that the mere sight of ribs is now "shocking" to so many people

I'm "into" healthy models.
How do you know they are healthy ? Do the "healthy" models show you their updated medical records ? And why does society have such a fetish on healthy looks anyway ?

I have visible ribs and veins showing in my lower abdomen, but a very voluptuous lower body and thick legs.
I don't get it when people say "no ribs showing," because having prominent ribs does not mean a person is particularly skinny. People in daily life often refer to my body-type as "thick;" I have 36-37 inch hips, but my ribs are obvious.
I'm most certainly not skinny. Slim yes, but skinny, no.
