Can you believe it? One of the best newbie models has just been sent home from the Paris Fashion Week for gaining just five pounds. Yes, Ali Michaels.
I mean, that’s crazy. She was looking so much better, and healthier, was it really necessary?
First, they ban models very skinny, and then the agencies take the models out from the shows because of eating slightly more? I am so mad at it that I think they are just stupid.
I’ve seen one of my friends how much she eats and how skinny she is. She’s very tall too, and that’s reasonable because tall people tend to be skinny.
When I was six years old I was so skinny that I had to stay in the hospital for two weeks. But I didn’t have an eating disorder, I just didn’t like food. There aren’t many cases of serious eating disorders at early ages. I don’t know how many times someone has told me: “You have the appetite of a bird”. I could eat tons of cheetos, spaguetti, you know, what a kid usually likes. But when I look at the pictures of me when I was six, I realise how skinny I was. So from eating hypercaloric food and peas (yes, they are rich in carbohydrates, at least that’s the nutritionist said, that I had to eat pea soup several times a week, unlucky me that was the food I least liked) I gained weight. Now I am still skinny, but not too much. And I love food now.
Rachel Clark (a great model) wrote about the eating habits of the models: In fashion week, they usually eat less, as they don’t have much free time and they only eat fast food for lunch and fruit they serve on backstage. After the shows they usually gain weight as they are on holiday.
¿Os lo podéis creer? La agencia de Ali Stephens, una de las mejores nuevas modelos, la ha enviado a casa por haber subido 2,27 kilos, así que se ha quedado sin desfiles de París. Yo conozco personalmente a mucha gente que está delgada por naturaleza, incluso demasiado delgada y no son anoréxicas. La tendencia ahora es decir que cuando una persona está muy delgada es que “hala, es anoréxica”, y es totalmente erróneo. Una de mis amigas está delgadísima, pero come muchísimo. Es muy alta, así que es normal que sea delgada, la gente muy alta suele serlo en general.
Very skinny models
Me ha parecido una locura. Tenía mucho mejor aspecto, incluso más saludable, ¿realmente era necesario?

I found this picture of F.O that scared me. You can see Ali looking beautiful, and Lily Donaldson’s back, something very similar to an skeleton.
