Kitty's Corner

Does my butt look big in this?

, , ,

Take a look at this girl.

Her name is Ananda Marchildon, and four years ago she won the television show "Holland's Next Top Model". She won a three-year contract with Model agency "Elite Models".

Four years ago her hips measured 92 cm.

Elite wrote to Ananda in an e-mail in March 2010 :

Today we measured your hips at 98 centimeters. This is a reminder! The goal is that you have a hip circumference of no more than 90 cm at the end of June.


Ananda replied that she was willing to regain her former shape, but she was not willing to get lower than 92 centimetres. She reached her goal by the end of June, but Elite wasn't satisfied. They still demanded her hips to measure no more than 90 cm and put her off the contract in September 2010.

Ananda took Elite to court, and after two years, the court is now set.

According to the court ruling although the 180 cm tall model had put on weight since gaining the contract, she had had a hip measurement of 92 cm at the time of winning and the agency went too far by demanding she reduce it to 90 cm.

"Elite had no right to demand Ananda Marchildon reach a hip size of 90 cm," the court ruled, and judged Elite to pay $ 85,000 to Ananda.

Ananda was commissioned for a photo shoot on Wednesday by underwear company Sloggi. They called Ananda "a beautiful woman", adding: "It's too crazy for words that a model who's her size would be written off as too fat."

I couldn't agree more!

What do you think? Is Ananda too fat?

There's no way that she's fat (to my eyes anyway). It's good to see a reasonably well shaped female form out there in the fantasy of advertising world, instead of an unfeasibly and unrealistically slim young-boy figure.

I don't think it would hurt for her to have more, I appreciate a woman with a more generous figure,(But, she does have a cute little Butt;P)p

For fuck's sake. In no way is she fat. And having 36in hips makes them rather slim really yet womanly.

36/24/36 used to be considered the ideal figure (in the 1950-1970 era). At least until Twiggy came along. Now it seems we're supposed to look like little boys.

Too bad our clothes don't cost the same as those little boys' clothes do.

She looks perfectly normal. Women (and men rolleyes) don`t want to see emaciated models in magazines etc. In an ideal world models would be all different shapes and sizes, but that`s not going to happen in the foreseeable future. But slim(ish) women with natural curves would quite acceptable and more feminine.

It's ridiculous, of course. I'm glad she won in court.

And people wonder why the average woman starves herself to be super skinny. That woman is gorgeous and thin and in no way is she fat! Stupid modeling agencies.

In the perfect world we'd just accept each other the way we are and even be happy that we all look different - and that should be reflected in the fashion industry. It would be nice to see some women in that industry that we could actually identify ourselves with instead of super skinny looking girls.

Nobody's head should be bigger than their body. Yeurgh.

Freya RedFreya Sunday, March 18, 2012 6:30:21 PM

If she was any thinner she would be two dimensional and turning completely sideways she would disappear.yikes
