'I just have a small stomach. It's a bit like a gastric band, if I eat too much I feel sick'.

Not as sick as I felt looking at the photos..

This is ridiculous.. thank goodness I do not know of anyone like that.

If she eats that much food, she must be purging it. She looks anorexic as it is so the woman sure isn't healthy for some reason. I'm really surprised that even the fashion world would want her to model their clothes. Most of the fashion models are much taller and even though very thin, most still look fairly healthy.

Something isn't right with this.

I'm pretty sure she's a part of a *fetish community*. There's this thing called *waist training* where women crush themselves into corsets (remember the Victorian hourglass shape?) & wear them for as long as they can stand it, even sleep in them if they can, to achieve the tiny waist. Over a period of yrs they keep cinching them tighter & tighter, until their bodies take on this bizarre shape permanently. Doing this seriously relocates all internal organs in this area of the body as well as constricts the lower lobes of the lungs. NOT a good thing to do to oneself. Some go as far as having ribs removed to achieve the *perfect* shape.

You may have seen that enormously fat lady (like 600 lbs) who was getting rich off a website where men would pay a monthly membership fee just to watch videos of her stuffing her face (not kidding, really). The men who get off on this are called *feeders*. This woman seems to be objectified in the opposite direction; what do they call these guys, starvers?

She gets *sick* when she eats b/c she's compressed her stomach as effectively as if she's had a gastric band done. Think of all the organs around the waistline....she's squished her kidneys, her liver, her pancreas, her gallbladder, her sm intestine, her stomach....an x-ray of her insides would be just as appalling to see as looking at her outsides. She's not anorexic or buliemic. She just can't eat much b/c of what she's let her sick fetishist husband talk her into doing.

She probably was just quite thin & tiny-waisted to begin w/ (like Duchess Kate has gotten, OMG Darrah, ya think William's into this @!$%#?), & he wanted her to be even smaller for his sexual gratification & that of other men like him. Somewhere in the DM comments a reader came up w/ a website for this fetish that features her & other women. Her loving hubby is pimping her pix out & making $ off it from men who think this is *sexy*.

Really disturbing to see the lengths to which some females think they need to go in order to be *loved* by some man who's clearly just using her as an object. It's also unconscionable for DM to have posted this (I bet they got pd to do it) b/c this woman's pix are now going to be up on pro-ana websites w/ young girls thinking her figure is *ideal*.

The things some men think are *sexy* never ceases to amaze me. This & the feeder thing have got to be the 2 sickest fetishes in the world b/c these men are jeopardizing the health of these women just to get off on how they look. Some fetish like, say, crossdressing, meh, who's it harming, have at it if that's what floats your boat. This is harmful. I dunno who's sicker, the men who think this is hot & encourage women to do it, or the women themselves for complying.

Yeah, ST, the corset thing must have been happening even as a child. She may have slept with one on. Maybe her parents weren't even aware of this. Some oriental families bind their children's feet so that they'll be smaller. Tribal women have the rings put around their necks so that it creates a loong neck.

Cher was said to have had a couple of ribs taken out so that her torso was smaller. Of course I don't know if that's true...

Yeah, this model had an early start of some grotesque "modifications."Plus the anorexia for the rest of her body.

And I hope men don't take these comments as a sign of envy or jealousy because that's definitely not the case.

Nice to see you, ST!

Jeez, I would hope most men would find this as grotesquely malformed as it is, & not *sexy* in the least!

There is at least one other woman that I have seen stories on with a similar condition, and it is actually a genetic problem where the body isn't able to properly process fats or digest food properly. This other woman though does look different, not having the 'hourglass figure' It is quite likely related though. A woman with anorexia (either major variant) wouldn't have that hourglass figure either. It also wouldn't just be the stomach that would be smaller in her, her entire intestinal tract would be smaller in her. It is almost as though it never really 'grew' up as she did.

Also if she was part of a corset fetish community, there would be other pictures of her out on the internet.

Needless to say, not attractive to me in any sense of the word.

I don't care what this woman says, she is underweight. She appears anorexic. She does not appear healthy.
