Models with low sylph-esteem?

Blog Guy, I need some of your famous career advice. I want to find a job.
What’s been holding you back, if I might ask?
Well, I’ve had a run of bad luck that left me pretty skinny. First, I fell asleep on the liposuction machine and it ran all night, and then I got a tapeworm….
Gosh. I suppose maybe you could…
I’m not finished with my sad story. Then I got lost in a cave for six weeks without any food. When I finally got out, I was rescued by a weight loss club.
Rescued by dieters? Ouch!
They were vegans, too, as luck would have it…
That’s quite a tale. Have you considered modeling for one of the big fashion houses?
You don’t think maybe I’m too thin to be attractive?
Trust me, once they slap some sexy black lingerie on you, you’ll have to beat the guys away with a stick. I mean, if you can lift one…

looks like it IS possible to have a negative BMI
Look at that, she can’t even stand straight under the weight of her own head!
I’d much rather beat myself with a stick than look at that poor emaciated girl.
Then poke myself in both eyes with the stick.
Then roll myself in honey and lay on a nest of fire ants.
‘Cause that just ain’t right.
@ifly! Nice one. That poor girl IS the stick. I’ve seen refugees with more meat on their bones.
Someone send her some sliders and donuts – STAT!
Hang on, this project needs coordination. If you have sliders and donuts for her, send them to me and, um, I’ll pass them along….
These models remind me of a joke. Did you hear the one about the skeleton who went into a bar and ordered a beer and a mop?
@Spin, patience my dear. No need to commit murder when waiting a mere week longer, if that, will result in the subject expiring of her own accord.
Mr. B. just passing on the thought of a slider or doughnut would provide more sustenance to the poor lass then she is getting as it is.
Looking at her, made me gulp down an entire doughnut with extra sprinkles…
Not EVEN that helped!!!
What on earth is WRONG with these women!!!
too damn scary :O
I’m kinda likin’ the leather top.
Lunch is calling to me and I plan to answer the call!
You have to wonder how long it will take for fashion designers to drop these human coat hangers and start using wire coat hangers instead. It looks so much better on the hanger, darling.
Welcome back, Nurse. Haven’t seen you here in more than a month. Let me make a mental note of the kind of items you will comment on…
Half off sale on all models this week.
I’m just thinking what she would look like after eating the sliders/doughnuts. Skinny, skinny, skinny then a little tummy bump then back to skinny. Her friends would all think her to be ‘in a family way’! Is that where the expression ‘A bun in the oven’ came from?
Is that fat I see?
Just water for me and then
I’ll sniff my salad.
Maybe the internet will buy her some Krispy Kreme donuts since the internet is feeling generous lately. a statue here, a city there…why not some donuts too? I’m going across the street to say hi to my barista and see if she has any donuts left on the shelf.
CG, is out of the house for the evening…
I don’t think that’s a female. Whatever it is even sliders and doughnuts are gonna help.
Any why is it going about in just a bra?
Must be in France, Slick. That would be my guess….
Bra-bary Coast fashion…
These models look like something halfway through metamorphosis.
I think Doc is on to something…she’s a not quite fully developed stick insect!
@unca: Thanks for the delightful coinage of “chesticles”. It’s now in my vocabulary.
I need 3 Big Macs and 3 Large Fries for this model. Stat!
It disturbs me to no end to notice just how much like me this girl looks. Only, if she gained about 60-70 pounds.
And cut her hair.
And had a bigger chest.
And had pointier ears.
And hadn’t commented on OE in a while.
Good Lord! Get that woman a doughnut, stat!
@69Spinster… if this is Autumn/Winter, his Spring/Summer will likely look like something from a “Charlie Le Mindu” fashion show. Recently the models were only wearing …
(yeah, nothing).
The models’ pictures on this blog would look like the brazilian costumes in this article:

Chesticles is generous. More like chick-peas.
I wouldnt want to buy what she is carrying off… I would like to see who does…
I like a girl with nice clavicles…
Welcome back, Shawn. This one item brought you back AND the long-lost knit_nurse. Have you two been away together?
OK Doc, since no-one else is gonna, no I didn’t hear the one about the skeleton that walked into a bar and asked for a beer and a mop…
In the meantime, how do you tell if you’re a bad fashion model?
A. When you walk down the runway the photographers take pictures of each other.
I don’t think it ever happened, Nosmo. I don’t believe the skeleton had the guts to do it.
@Malteser – I had to Google the “Charlie Le Mindu” thing.
Thanks!
Hah, no sir. Well, I suppose kidnapping would count as “together” wouldn’t it?
Worryingly, from the pictures of London Fashion Week I saw in someone’s paper yesterday; this isn’t actually the skinny one of the models. There’s a girl called Chloe something who looks like a vacuum packed skeleton…
@AllThatJazz – That Charlie guy would require more salmon bars than this blog ever used for sure.
@Crowgirl…lol @ the vacuum packed skeleton comment. Good one!
@AllThatJazz… hope Shra doesn’t tase me for that!
