What do catwalk models

allanb49 · 24-02-2009 09:03PM #1

think of when walking down it?
We where watching that Tyra Banks ****e there, and just the blank expressions on their faces we started wondering what the hell could they be thinking about.

So, what you guys think is going through there minds?

Models walking and thinking at the same time? Surely not...

I would imagine something along the lines of
''Don't fall over'',
''Don't trip up'', and
''How ridiculous do I look in this backless, frontless, sideless dress?''.

Perhaps "I hope I look good"

Who knows? Models don't automatically become fully confident when they decide to catwalk/go into fashion

That and I'm sure, staying focused on not falling over in such high heels!

"does my bum look big in this?"

if they had to think at the same time they'd walk too slow

jiltloop · 24-02-2009 09:12PM

They're probably thinking of money they're getting paid for walking those few steps.

"Oh my god, this is like, such a big fashion show, I mean, like, there's soooooo many famous people here, maybe if I sleep with a movie director he will put me in one of his movies, that would be soooooo awesome! Oh my god, did I throw up after I ate that salad? Oh no, that's like, 12 calories! I'm gonna get sooooo fat! That's it, I'm not eating again until 2011, then I'll look beautiful, you gotta be thin to win! And instead of food I'll just smoke more and do more coke, that will keep me thin. I'm sooooo glad I can be such a good role model to little girls, without people like me how would they know that you aren't important unless you're thin and everyone tells you how pretty you are?!"

I fucking hate models

Not all models are stupid/thin/airheads. Tyra Banks is a case in point- she has her own tv shows as well as a modelling career, and she tries to highlight that you don't have to be a size zero to succeed in modeling (or to get by in life, generally.) I don't think she's a bad role model, actually. She's a good business woman who worked her way up from humble beginnings. Well, she's not a Nobel prize winner, but she's better than reality tv stars and WAGs! :pac:

Modelling is a lot harder than it looks. I'd imagine the models have several things on their mind when they're on the catwalk- trying to look confident, trying to sell the clothes, they also have to be aware that a designer's career may depend on how they carry themselves on the run way. It's easy to say ''oh, they're just silly twigs prancing around thinking they're great" but I say you shouldn't judge a job as easy or the people doing it as stupid until you've done it yourself.

I also disagree with the idea that it presents a certain kind of beauty to aspire to- most models, particularly in high fashion, are in fact very 'distinctive'- looking. It is actually more advantageous to have an individual look than a conventional one. For example, Alex Wek may not be considered a conventional beaty but she is a very succesful model. Pic--->

Imo, glamour models / page 3 girls actually present a more disturbing image of what beauty/sexuality is.

Of course, like most entertainment industries, I do think models are over-paid.

Lol. From the sound of that, I highly doubt you've met many models, or indeed, catwalk/fashion models. Saying you hate models may aswell be saying you hate poor people. Or pretty much any specific employment. Don't bother.

+1 to your thinking.

I'm sorry but why would the woman in the above link not be considered a conventional beauty? She has strong, distinct features, seems to be very tall and has long, slender hands. She looked very model-like to me.

I think she is beautiful, just not in the conventional way, imo. The term conventional beauty to me implies somebody like Kate Hudson or Anne Hathaway- a girl who is pretty in a girl-next-door kind of way. Whereas Alex is quite slender, with short hair, etc. I do agree she is very model-like, but perhaps not the 'classical beauty'. well, that's just my opinion.:) I chose her because I've asked people before if they thought she was 'hot' and they said "no, but she is 'model-hot'!"

Alex is also a good role model- she was a Sudanese refugee. Definitely not an airhead who sleeps with people to become famous.

Ah now, it's After Hours. Orestes has a valid point, size zero models who snort coke are stupid. We all know there are exceptions, no doubt there are nice models out there, but what's the harm in poking fun at a stereotype eh;)

The problem is assuming that the nice models are the 'exception', rather than the rule. Modeling is about more than Kate Moss and her dubious activities.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with making fun of a stereotype but using it to say "I f*cking hate models'' is a bit unfair , imo.
