Irish Models are middle class!

fakearms123

I was just reading the paper there at lunch and I have noticed that Irish models in our national magazines and papers aren't even close to the models of that of other countries. I mean the papers praise models like Glenda Gilson who in fairness now isn't that great in the face. She isn't something to boast about really. But when you look at models such as Adriana Lima and such, you cant help but wonder.
I must admit Susan Kavanagh is nice to look at, as is Rosanna Davison. But they dont hold a candle to some of the models you would find in even English newspapers. I was in Italy this summer and my god they have some stunning models. We must have better looking women in Ireland that can pose in our newspapers?? Surely? No? Yes? anyone??

Are models meant to be goo looking, wouldn't that distract from the clothes?

I think in general Irish people don't fit the high cheekbones look which most models have.

Also, you can't really compare Irish people with Eastern Europeans. There are loads of stunners over there, but not that many here... that goes for men and women.

I used to be in college with one of Ireland's "top models". She was above average, but definitely no where near great looking or anything like that.

Why did you wait a full year to post all these threads when you have so much good stuff to contribute?

"goo looking"? giggity!

The foreign models you think of are heavily involved in the fashion world, and are proper models.

The Irish ones you mention are photographed on a rainy day in St Stephens Green wearing a bikini to promote Budget Travels 'Summer in the Sun' 09 sale.

Big difference...

I rarely find models attractive, I don't know what it is about them but I'm not usually too interested in them. I tend to find normal looking girls much more attractive for some strange reason, its a wierd one.

That's because in Ireland a model is considered successful, not if she's strutting her stuff on a Paris Catwalk, but more if she manages to get into Krystle's VIP room.

The best Irish models arent in the newspapers or magazines. Theyre on catwalks and in campaigns many of which the regular Joe Public wouldnt see. I regularly see Irish best paid model walking around Stephens Green... she wouldnt get a huge amount of attention because shes not that 'stunning' shes just beautiful. i.e. she isnt blonde and in-your-face.

I dont think I agree with that fully, when just across the sea Britain has managed to produce some of the top models in the world. I'm just not convinced that we couldn't find someone. Is it our small population, our climate?

Skinny girls look good in clothes. Naked, they look like starving rats.

I think the problem is we've been Irish only for too long. The brits have had a lot of foreign sperm and ovaries on their land for quite some time.

Irish people are defo way down the league table of ability to produce stunners.

haha... the media hype surrounding models on catwalks in nuts sometimes. If you saw the girl I'm talking about you'd realise shes not even notably thin looking. Sometimes genetics make you naturally slender and make it hard to gain weight. I know some models who eat like a horse.

There are great looking Irish womens that look fairly unique to Ireland too, their just not interested in modelling careers.

Obviously only to pictures of non-Irish models.

I think there are plenty of absolutely stunning Irish models but what does set them apart from the models of countries where the modelling industry is far bigger than that of Ireland is their size. Irish model agents don't expect skinniness. Some Irish models have beautiful shapely figures - Andrea Roche: now she is an example of a classic hourglass.

Fajitas!

It depends on the type of model... Irish rags have a habit of using the catchphrase 'models' - Fashion models have a different look from glam models, which have a different looks from models working in fine art... The list goes on. Even within the realm of Fashion modeling, you'll have different looks for high fashion, catwalk, editorial, etc. Anyways, most of the Irish models that are printed in rags are dyed blonde with a dodge tan... More akin to American glamour models, except not. [/rant over]

A lot of them do look fab in real life, and a lot of them don't...

Ireland does have some fantastic looking models though.

fakearms123

you see the thing is I'm not just talking about skinny catwalk models, i know i threw out the name Adriana Lima only for comparative purposes but i'm talking about models in general, be it bikini, catwalk, designer label, newspaper, magazines, even Clarks shoes models, i was just a little disappointed reading my Star newspaper at lunch today, i cried a bit from my eyeballs, when im used to crying in my pants

She's average looking. Average at best.

She has a strong jaw and in general a masculine face. The massive amount of makeup she's wearing can't hide that.

Nice body though, of course.

She is not good looking enough to be an international model.

Dudess

Yeah I definitely think it's her figure that's the most attractive thing about her - it's fantastic.

Sorry but that's a huge and stupid misconception, it's a ridiculous stereotype that the majority of Eastern European women are attractive. There is no one race or country that has more attractive women that another (unless your talking about countries with a bigger population that another)

If you really think that generally Eastern European women are more attractive I'd put that down to preferance.

Have you ever been to Eastern Europe?

Did I say the majority of Eastern European women are attractive, or was that just your stupid misconception?

ejmaztec

When you compare the population of the UK with Ireland, there're are bound to be more stunners in the UK.

But on the other hand, I don't find so-called stunners, like Lily Cole, remotely stunning. She looks like she should get some sunlight and a few burgers.

all the stars

Sadly,

they (majority) dont hold a candle to most other models... with the exception of 1/2

even look here,

I'm going to ask you to do something.
Don't panic now....it won't hurt you.
Turn away from the screen, have a good look around.
There should be light coming from a rectangular shaped glass pass.
Have a look through it. This is outside.
Have another look around. You will find a series of rectangular shaped portals, keep opening them via the handle until you reach outside.
Keep on moving and observe.
You will soon be in a position to qualify average looking. You will find that Andrea Roche doesn't fit the term.

Your welcome.

We produce very few stunners. I have seen LOADS of Polish stunners in Dublin.

I'm Irish.

I have no problem admitting we are not as good looking as our continental neighbours.

The lack of international Irish models proves this.

/Note: I have nothing against Irish women. I'm just not going to try to delude myself into thinking we're just as good looking as the Ukranians or whatever

When people can't beat your argument, they will often look for some kind of grammar error or something like that.

Don't worry about it.

We could increase the amount of good looking people in Ireland if only more lovely girls would have sex with me.
Honestly, this is not just a cheap ploy.....

Irish models are okay...although the D4 look is quite irritating but its better than English or American models who all look like cancer patients.

7pm. My place. Wear something sexy.

I'm on top.

I can't believe people are judging how good looking Irish models are by looking at the Metro! Hardly where all the top Irish models are dying to appear...

You guys probably don't see them because you don't look at magazines like Image, etc.

This is a Dublin modelling agency. Now obviously they're not all Irish (like Agneta there) but these girls are beautiful!

If you want to know what true stunning attractiveness looks like (both in males and females), you must visit Scandinavia. Nothing compares to the hotness that exists there. Nothing. I have made a mess just thinking about it.

Sorry, lived there for a year & it just isn't true. They're all just skinny and blond (guys included).

I used to work in a pub and whenever a skinny blonde came in, she would get so much attention, regardless of whether she was actually attractive or not. A case of people not being able to let go of a dream..

StormWarrior

Well ok I think skinny and blond is hot. But I think you must be dead between the legs not to find scandinavians attractive.
