She looks amazing here...airbrushed but her figure is amaaazing!

LOL Yeah same here Linda! Grrrr...I wanna be bootylicious!

She shakes it like it's on a hinge. No matter how much you practise, you've either got the shake or you haven't. LoL

Lol yeah..Beyonce has the shake.

God imagine her and her butt doin the shake and vac! That would be awesome! She'd have it perfected!

Lmao.. I remember that!! Shake n Vac ads.. are they still on?

I also remember this kid who used a sherbet fountain to Shake n Vac her mum's new living room carpet.. that went down well.. LoL .. mind you, I think she was only about 5 or 6 years old.. :laugh:

Beyonce has been airbrushed down in that image,

Whilst some of those pics are quite evidently photoshopped in some cases (some to the extreme), not all of them are comparing the same photo. Models can look slightly thinner or fatter (is that the correct word - I don't think so but it is the opposite of thinner), depending on the angle they are photographed on. And you know what, some of the girls in the real photos are way too thin in them, never mind the fake ones! I personally value my life more than this and would rather be large and healthy than thin and malnourished and destroying my health & body.

Ahh.. the elusive Baz.. we have just been discussing your whereabouts.

Anyway, well said!

WTF? I am obviously pro ana? And you OBVIOUSLY don't know what you are talking about. It's like if anyone disagrees with the majority they are accused of all sorts. I see the only person who had some fair opinions on the subject, their post was removed for some reason.:mad: All i have done is prove those nasty pictures were fake. Sorry if you all would have liked to have carried on believing in youre own deluded world's that they are real, you all seem to be rather angry that i have proved you wrong.

That picture has been heavily airbrushed.

The fake pictures aren't the issue. I don't care whether the pics are real or fake. If you had read through my posts you would find that the pictures posted are neither here nor there. The issue I have is with women who starve themself to become a size they clearly aren't naturally meant to be.

I also have an issue with the fashion industry encouraging this behaviour, and turning a blind eye to those who suffer and sometimes die because of it.

I am not angry at being proved wrong, because I never stated that I was certain the pics were real. So, if that's your argument, then it's pretty flimsy.

You openly state that you find models who are rake thin with protruding bones to be attractive, when clearly they are ill. This is why I suggest you are pro-ana. You also imply that it's ok for women to get to size zero with no regard for the impact they have on their health. If I have misconstrued your remarks, then I apologise, but I have to say that is how you have come across in many posts.

As for the mob mentality accusations, again, I think you will find if you read through any of my posts, that I don't go with the flow and agree with everyone else in the thread. I have my own opinions and whether the majority agree or disagree doesn't influence me at all.

Gemma - just so you know - the post that was removed because it was written by a banned user. We are having real issues with this user so sadly the only person you thought was an advocate of what you say has no posting rights!

I am trying hard to understand why you are so rude in the way you address other members when discussing this issue, you give the impression that you are sitting there going "there stamps feet" when writing your reponses.

I really couldnt give a monkey's chuff whether the photos are fake, like Linda I worry about the whole size zero culture and the impact it may have on "my" children! As a parent I wouldnt be normal not to worry. I dont want my children to look like skeletons, or like they need to be on a drip.

I have a very athletic teenager who always takes into consideration what she eats which makes me hyper alert! I make sure she always eats a balanced diet to give her the energy she needs to allow her to carry on with the sports that she so loves.

Gemma, I worry you're the deluded one here. You've ignored ALL of our points about many of the models not being a natural size zero and using... lets say 'unconventional' methods to become said size. This then leads to other impressionable young girls doing a similar thing, and this is where the danger occurs and people take up fatal rituals whereby they make themselves sick or starve themselves (and you cannot deny this is the case).

I really feel that we need to step away from saying things about each other here and focus on the topic.

I know some pictures are disturbing, but I am certainly not one to judge, because we do not know the story.
Some people cannot help it, people forget it can be an illness.

Ive been a fan of Nicole Richie for years, when she was definately NOT the thinnest girl in the world.
Magazines were calling her fat and ugly, and I remember an E4 advert for Simple Life described her as 'Paris' un attractive friend'
"Starring the attractive Paris Hilton and Paris' un attractive friend!"
She lost all that weight, and hit a perfect size, but carried on losing the weight!
But at the moment Nicole is still thin, but I think she is beautiful. Saying that, the pictures of her in the blue bikini were disturbing!

The good thing about all of this, is, size 0 models have been banned and its no longer seen as a good thing. Young girls think its sick and dont want to be like it.

I've always thought Nicole was prettier than Paris as well, because Paris to me has strange features. Not that she's ugly, just IMO Nicole's prettier and I'm probably one of the few to think that. I never knew she used to be referred to as Paris' unattractive friend - that's gotta hurt, especially when I don't even think she is or was unattractive.

Yeah it was in the advert for either Road trip or Interns by that 'funny' E4 voiceover guy. Im sure it was meant for a joke, but its just another thing the media do to mess up people.

The amount of 'thin stars' 'chubby celebrities' magazine covers I see in the shop is so annoying!

I was looking through my old magazines the other day and there was an article about Nicole. They branded her 'The Chubby One'. How wonder she lost all of that weight, with the media picking on her!

Beyonce dont do nothing for me

Beyonce's really beautiful IMO. Her body's great yeah, but she's just so lucky to have such a pretty face as well. :hugesmile:

I agree, Beyonce has a great body, and face.
Her lips are nice.

Nicole has a very pretty face where as Paris has a big nose and a slightly horse face. Ash, I agree with you.

lol that pic of Beyonce is so airbrushed that i didnt recognise her face! most of the photos in mamagazines are airbrushed

What i hate the most is when magazines 1 weeks put very skinny celebrities on their cover and say omg ur so skinny bla bla bla and then the next 'celebs with chubby belly'...even tho they r not chubby....no1 is perfect

Yeah and if you look, I said that! Doesn't mean they changed her figure though does it..I was showing what a great figure she had..not how many spots and blemishes she has :xyxwave:

Now all the people that were moaning about the airbrushed one...This one shows her figure off better and isn't airbrushed!

AND LORD ABOVE YOU CANT SEE HER BONES!!!!

Fat cow:whistle:
