I liked London, but her preaching to god the whole episode was really annoying. I was ready for her to leave. And she did gain a lot of weight. She was so much cuter before.

Fo is still my favorite, I'm glad shes there.

Wasnt TOO sad to see Allison go, but I would have preferred the other girl.

And I want Natalie out as well. Shes so freaking concieted.

I liked London but man she did get fat. What did she eat in those weeks to get that fat?. Geez!

stormy eyes · 04-17-2009, 06:22 AM

Yeah, I don't know how she gained that much weight in that short amount of time either. Unless she was like starving herself right before the intial auditions?

OTH_Leyton_4eva · 04-17-2009, 04:01 PM

personally to me london still looked beautiful

yea she gained a lot of wait for a model but she didn't look bad.

Alexa · 04-17-2009, 07:27 PM

Well, yeah, I mean, she looked fine for a normal person, but if you want to be a model, you better expect to be thin. lol.

OTH_Leyton_4eva · 04-18-2009, 02:25 PM

^ there are things called plus sized models?!

i don't know i guess not being fortunate in the weight category i get mad when people start calling girls like london fat, makes me feel like a hippo

MethodicWays · 04-18-2009, 03:22 PM

^No you're right it's completely uncalled for. London gained weight but she wasn't fat. She's also shorter than a lot of the other girls. ANTM doesn't give them the opportunity to work out while they're there and everyone's bodies reacts differently to stress and eating.

I think some of her outfit choices were also unflattering.

She was too thin to be a plus size model, even with the weight gain.

This is kinda a touchy subject, so I'm sorry that you were offended.

Of course I still think she looks beautiful and everything that I'm saying is in relation to the model industry. Cause in real life London would still be considered like a waif. LOL.

Alexa · 04-19-2009, 11:50 AM

Yeah, there are plus sized models, but London wasnt big enough to be a plus size model.

And being heavier doesnt necessarily equal a plus size model.

You still have to have the right body type. You still have to be toned, even if you have a bigger bone structure, which most plus sized models do.

Its not like you can start out as a "normal" model and then if you gain weight say, "Oh well, Ill be plus size now!" lol. It doesnt work that way.

And the judges always say that they cant use models that in between plus size and thin.

By no means do I think London is "FAT." But she did gain a lot of weightfrom when she started. And if these girls want to be on a show called "TOP MODEL" then they should expect to be treated as such.

MethodicWays · 04-19-2009, 01:18 PM

But some of the blame does fall on the show. They don't provide the means for the girls to workout. They are essentially sequestered without internet or television and they are stressed (now they can't even smoke). What else are they supposed to do but sit around, eat and b!tch? you can only do so many walks on the catwalk and that's barely a workout.

ETA: I also found them a bit hypocritical in their approach. They try to give off this air of, we're looking for the untypical beauty and the girl the fashion industry ignores but then they fall back hard on those standards. At least when Janice was there she'd be straight up from the get-go. They kind of lead these girls in and then halfway into the competition beat them down for the things they praised them for in the beginning.

Alexa · 04-21-2009, 06:49 PM

I suppose, but just because they dont give them access to workout equiptment doesnt mean they cant work out! LOL.

stormy eyes · 04-22-2009, 08:56 AM

That is very true. I mean pilates or yoga doesn't need anything, except maybe a band. I mean I do it on my bedroom floor.

Alexa · 04-25-2009, 07:10 PM

well yeah, I workout all the time on my own. I never use any equiptment, except maybe weights, but you can pretty much use water bottles as weights if you have to. LOL.

That is always an option if need be

I wasn't happy that Natalie left this week. I'm sick of Aminat.

stormy eyes · 04-26-2009, 06:26 AM

Yeah, I wasn't happy at all either. I'm really freaking over Aminat too. I don't think she's a good model at all. Natalie, while annoying, was much better.
