What Defines a "Great Body"?
Just throwing this in, just saw it on FB... It's a great statement about a naturally slender girl, who is speaking up against all that skinny bashing (calling them anorexic, when they don't suffer that mental disease): Jun 13 13 10:08 am Link GQ The Couture Model wrote: Wow, I never thought of it like that. Same here.

She's my avi. Jun 13 13 05:38 pm Link Honestly everyone has their own option on this and their own tastes- I have photographers that love me and I have had other photographers turn me down for a shoot because my "breasts are too small" lol the same way a guy might be a leg guy or a boob guy everyone is different. being confident and the best YOU is what's important- personality and confidence always triumph over physical attributes- look at famous burlesque performer Dirty Martini :http://silentsirenburlesque.tumblr.com/post/37842602165/dirty-martini-from-her-zorita-tribute-act she is a big beautiful curvy gal who is proud of herself and confident in how she looks and what she does and is now an internationally recognized burlesque performer. Some people may look at her and think "ew" but she doesn't give a fuck and that's what matters. Be healthy and be you- some people will love you and some people will hate you- it is what it is- rock it Jun 13 13 09:08 pm Link For me, a toned body is a beautiful body. Soft & smoothe is cool, soft and flappin is not.:-)) Jun 13 13 09:20 pm Link GeorgeMann wrote: Hey Thanks GM... no argument here... it's SHODIRE... on this MM port over 20 times...

I've literally been to castings where on one casting they'd reject me for one thing and on the next casting they would reject me for the exact opposite. rejection is part of this industry, but rule number 1 is 'never take it personally'. it's not you, it's just that you're not what they had in mind at this point. the other thing is this: agencies are not gods. They want you to lose weight, you tried, it didn't work. so screw them. There are other agencies out there you know. Finding a n agency is like finding a lover: you need to find one that suits your needs and wants, not everyone is compatible. And they aren't getting you jobs anyway, so what do you have to lose? as quoted from Anna Adrielle Jun 14 13 03:02 am Link Jun 14 13 03:03 am Link Drew Smith Photography wrote: Well we can't let that happen any more now can we... ... here's another rockin body for your viewing pleasure... CHRISTINA! Jun 14 13 03:36 am Link that question is so subjective you cannot even answer it. Jun 14 13 04:33 am Link Danielle Reid wrote: Diet pills are bullshit. It takes long months of hard work to tone up and change body composition. It took me two years of eating very clean and working with a trainer to get somewhat close to the type of body I felt was genetically possible for me to achieve, but also attractive. Six years in, and I still have pitiful, wimpy-ass shoulders, because that's just my genetics. Jun 14 13 05:04 am Link I get a lot of compliments and bookings on my figure but I also lose out on jobs for being 'too big'. It all depends on the client! My measurements are 37-29-36 and this 18+ shot probably shows my figure off best: https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … c8108f.jpg There's nothing wrong with your body at all. You look healthy, curvy and natural. By all means, keep up with the workouts but I think the diet pills are a bad idea. Exercise and good nutrition are all you really need. Also, be reasonably about your expectations. There's not a healthy way for you to be a size 6-8 and that's ok. Learn what market you suit best and aim for it. You're a beautiful girl, don't let the haters bring you down Jun 14 13 05:17 am Link |
