Fashion Myths : Every Guy Wants a Model.
Todays Fashion Myth is centered around models.
These young, waif like creatures that grace the runways of Milan, New York, and Paris and the covers of every magazine, these little gems are often seen as the ultimate prize, a trophy to hold for the rich and beautiful. These pretty tiny things with their size 0 waists. These recessed faced, no assed, pale beings. These thin, vapid, uninteresting, can’t hold a conversation beauties. These tall, shapeless wasps. These disassociated clothes hangers. These models. Yeah, they aren’t that special.
No dude (unless he’s completely insecure) wants to end up with a professional runway model. Yeah, the Victoria Secret girls are a major exceptions, but when it comes to the Gemma’s, the Cole’s, and the Moss’s of the world, the “runway girls” and “supermodels”, there is not enough substance or beauty to support the normal mans interest level. Give me some meat on them bones. Give me a booty and a side of breasts. Flat-chested, pancake bottomed skeleton bags need not apply. Personally, I need some insecurity, some body issues, some real people problems in my girls. Insecurities aren’t sexy, but they are very refreshing when compared to the attitudes of todays “I’m better than thou” catwalkers. Their image of beauty of unattainable, their devotion to their addiction of thinness or proposed “beauty” is unrealistic. And don’t get me started on their downwardly spiraling age. A 16 year old should not be on the runway. Give me real women, don’t sell me the image of a child.
Men don’t want models or at least this one doesn’t. Disagree or agree, I want to hear what you all think?

About the Author: Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).

Reply to OscarNormal women everywhere salute you. For the life of me, I can’t figure out what is sexy or appealing about a woman whose body looks alarmingly similar to a Holocaust victim’s or someone living in a famine stricken country. What is even more difficult to comprehend is that women seem to approve of and strive for this unhealthy standard of beauty even more than men do. It’s incredibly misogynistic. Most men, when asked, profess a desire for a woman to have a little flesh, which makes you wonder who exactly, besides fashion editors and designers, finds skeletal women beautiful. The presence of womanly curves is there to signal that a woman is different from a man, and that when desired, is capable of carrying and nurturing a a child. For centuries the female form has been celebrated as symbolic of the creative life force; cadaverous women like the one above look like specters of death. Of course, the flip side is women who are so artificially enhanced with implants and surgery that they too look like caricatures of a normal, natural beauty. Humans have always done strange things for fashion, but our current technology enables us to reach new levels of weirdness.
Reply to S.Why do the starving the disservice of being compared to models? If you’d ever seen anyone truly starving to death, you would not be mentioning them in the same sentence!
To me models often look like children with women’s heads on - weird. Models should be slim but not bony, where is the challenge in making clothes look good on people with no figure to speak of?
Reply to MirandaModels are freaks of nature. You’re complaining simply because you can’t get yourself a girl who could model. By freaks of nature, I mean that most of them were born with that body type. I’m a model and I eat a LOT. However, I’m still very slim, a size zero. I eat cake and junk food, I’ve never been on a diet. How can I still model? Because I have a ridiculous metabolism.
And sorry to say, not all of us can be blessed with huge racks, so don’t try to put down those girls who have a profession they can do well in with their small chest. Models are beautiful creatures. I don’t agree that ridiculous, unhealthy dieting is the way. However, a lot of us are simply born with ridiculous metabolisms. Most people complain about models simply because they could never do it and can do no more than whine and gripe about it.
