Well Fatima is already doing high fashion, and Whitney I feel can but is not given a chance because she is not a size 0, which is ridiculous
Michelle&AmandaBabin   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:12 PM]
@Run, Really?! Whoa....(Again, sorry if that was rude)
@Sam, its not just that. Her body proportions are very strange.

As for the "Fat" nickname, I just thought it was funny because it completely contradicts itself, but works at the same time.
sam'sboyfriend   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:15 PM]
IMO I love her body proportions
Michelle&AmandaBabin   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:30 PM]
^You love her proportions... in your opinion? Well... ok... IMO you don't Laughing
j/k, j/k lol

what does jk mean I am a bit new to this stuff
killa   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:35 PM]
JK = just kidding lol i took me a long while to find out what "LMAO" meant
Michelle&AmandaBabin   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:40 PM]
^Same here. I was a bit new to this stuff a while ago too. Trust me, Sam's, you sound just like I did a little while before I came on All-ANTM. You might just wake up one morning and realize you've stopped liking Whitney, or you'll eventually understand HF better. Whether your opinion on it will change or not, that depends on you.
sam'sboyfriend   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:43 PM]
I will alway love Whitney are you crazy
Michelle&AmandaBabin   [Feb 04, 2009 at 08:47 PM]
^Well, that's your choice. But not everyone will. Just remember that.

There are several reasons why whitney isn't doing high fashion jobs.
1)Plus-sized models like her will most likely never get jobs like that. Especially since she isn't really plus-sized.
2)Her face doesn't have the structure of a high-fashion model. Hold her picture up next to Gemma Ward, Raquel Zimmerman, Gisele Bundchen, or Coca Rocha, and (to anyone who isn't exposed to ANTM) would not be inspired or intrigued. Hold it up to commercial/glamour models, and she fits in fine.
3)Her proportions are off. She is pear-shaped. Despite how much YOU may like it, it will not accomodate all clothes.
4)Runway shows and photoshoots have SAMPLE SIZES, 2 and 4. If a plus-sized model comes onto set, there may be a chance that there are clothes for her, but the variations in plus-sized models aren't exactly the same all the time. Thusly, they can't walk or shoot the ad, because the client doesn't make dresses for 16 different body types. And he SHOULDN'T have to.
5)It's simply not her market. Elite is her agency. They see whitney. They know from test shots that she does what she can and can't do. whitney is good with selling sex and commercial products. Therefore, she is set up for test shoots and jobs for this market. You DON'T put commercial girls to sell to high-fashion clients. It makes you look dumb as an agent. Or are we going to start assuming we know more than her agent?

Give it some dang time. How long did it take Toccara to acomplish what she did?!!! KTHNKS
Mycatjewel   [Feb 05, 2009 at 02:14 PM]
^ Too bad Toccarra is a different case!
david18   [Feb 05, 2009 at 02:17 PM]
^True. Toccara isn't nearly as plain and cookie-cutter as whitney.

Dave maybe the designer should stop being so lazy. Why sell a size 10 women a dress advertised by a size 2 woman, or a size 16 woman a dress by a size 110 person. You sound like those ridicoulous fashion a wholes who feel size 2 is the only way because they can not handle real women. Pluse size models period are barely getting any jobs like that so quit hating on Whit.

@david, who was that hf plus sized model you were talking about in another picture. (the one that lost the weight) I wanna see her photos. Very Happy
curdledsauce   [Feb 05, 2009 at 09:38 PM]
@sam'sboyfriend: It's not so much about being lazy. I don't think it's that easy to design and make a dress, let alone customize it. Plus size is not universal because they come in many shapes while size 2 is more like the standard because it fits many models. As a designer (as with any other profession I guess), you wouldn't want to make your job harder than it already is.
sam'sboyfriend   [Feb 05, 2009 at 09:43 PM]
Ps models should not be in HF ads even though many women eho are not a size 2 or 4 or 0 buys the sizes, is that what you are saying
curdledsauce   [Feb 05, 2009 at 09:47 PM]
No, that's not what I'm saying, but when you have a runway show, it's easier to just do some castings for standard sized models to feature your clothing line. I'm just talking about the convenience of work for the designer by making standard clothes sizes instead of customized. For the Runway.
Katarzyna-Jenah-McKey   [Feb 05, 2009 at 09:58 PM]
There are many more reasons why there aren't more plussies in couture. One of them being the expensive fabrics designers have to buy and use. A designer could by less fabric for a size 2 rather than having to buy more fabric for a size 12.
RunFiercely   [Feb 05, 2009 at 10:27 PM]
Very true. Models, especially runway models, are meant to be clothes hangers. Not every girl is meant to be a model-- whether it's a body issue or a motivation issue. To be honest, I never TOTALLY understood Whitney's whole "I'm big and beautiful!" vendetta because the models that are size 0s are not really a standard of beauty. The only models that I think have mainstream aspirational beauty are the Victoria's Secret girls and the sort of old school supermodels.
