I was really cheeky, don't know if the sizes are skimpy or not, so told them I am a size 11, so whatever size they thought best for me, if I won. :rotfl:

OMG that model looks terrible!

I think what Addicted2comps says is true: that some women are naturally very slim even though they eat normally, but for most of us it's not the case, and the model in the picture doesn't represent the vast majority of us. Wish the fashion industry wouldn't keep trying to persuade us that she does!

I'm sorry if my original comments caused offence. You are probably thinking I'm a chubby so-and-so in need of reassurance. On the contrary, I too am very slim, but eat plenty and healthily. That said, my bones aren't sticking out like the model in the picture! Slim is great, but it saddens me to see that some aspiring models starve themselves in order to work. There are a whole range of healthy weights, but this model doesn't look like one of them!
Please don't be offended, Addicted2comps, I'm on your side.:j

Same here. It was just my initial reaction to the picture. I truly don't think the model looks healthy either.
