Answer 1

Her arms look too long

and yeah shes skinny but it isn't scary..

Answer 2

she might be like me I'm just naturally skinny i burn calories like a rabbit which just keeps me skinny. u never know what her situation is. i mean do u know her personally? do u talk with her everyday and watch what she eats? u can never really know how people live their lives if u don't actually know them...

Answer 3

She is quite thin,but I wouldn't label her as "Scary Skinny."

I think that scary skinny models send a really bad image to young girls.

The media in general is so focused on weight,it's sad actually.

I think the modeling industry contributes to eating disorders...well,to some degree..of course there are several other reasons why one may develop an eating disorder.

I wish we could get back to the more healthy looking models...Like during Cindy Crawford,Linda Evangelista type days...but the industry had changed....It will never be what it once was.

I don't think it's necessarily great for young women to have their role models to be a model.

Answer 4

Let's not kid ourselves - she is skinny.

Saying she isn't makes everyone else feel obese.

Still, being honest I think she is hot.

And loads of these pictures people are posting are obviously fake, especially the over-used one:

Answer 5

makes me feel fat

Answer 6

I think that when you are so skinny that you can see your ribs on your chest( yes below her collar bone,) Like this person here that you should not be published. I would think that it would hurt your career as a model as well. But, I have been that nasty skinny before, and there is not a whole lot that could be done about it at the time.  

Answer 7

oh wow. thats gross and un-healthy. Yuck. I hate people like that. They look like they haven't ate in days..maybe weeks. They may have a disorder. Such as Anorexia or Bulimia.  

Answer 8

I think it is gross and giving the wrong impression and eating habits to younger people.

Answer 12

Answer 16

Did you know for centuries thin women were considered ugly? When "modeling" really began, thin women were chosen to sport the style because it used less fabric!

I think it's sad when people are that thin, but don't assume they're all anorexic, etc. Some people are NATURALLY thin.

And to people saying they "hate" girls like that: That's really sad you like and dislike people based on weight.

And anorexia and bulimia are diseases, not choices.

Answer 17

I'm really not trying to be mean here, or put any of the models down, but come on! This doesn't look health at all!

Answer 18

I think she look skinner because of the pose and the shirt she is wearing  - the way it hangs loosely on her body accentuates how thin she is. However, from personal experience I know it is possible to naturally be built that thin. I used to weight under 100 lbs up until college. I ate healthy portions but was just a very small person. People were rude to me - often times school mates would just stare at my legs or stop what they were doing just to say "you are SO skinny!" as if I didn't already know. I even had a girl ask me every day we had gym together if I was anorexic. It was very sad and hard for me. Now I have grown into my body a bit more but I am still especially thin. My limbs are really small. I lift weights, take multi vitamins and have a healthy diet. I think no matter what size someone is they should not be criticized for it, especially if they do not preach that others should look this way. The model in the photo looks to be about my build and could very well be naturally built that way... let's all just get along!!!
