The 22-year-old South African beauty, Candice Swanepoel, might be fired from Victoria’s Secret for looking extremely skinny at its 2011 Swimwear launch this week.
Swanepoel did the Victoria’s Secret launch at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles next to models Alessandra Ambrosia and Adriana Lima and was noticeably thinner than her in-shape counterparts.
According to her Victoria Secret contract all Angels are expected to be “healthy and muscular.” However, Candice has responded to the concern over her weight insisting that she is “healthy and happy.” Swanepoel tells People Magazine, “I’m heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.” She also claims her weight lost has been due to extensive traveling.
So what do you think… is she too thin? Can you notice the diffrence? Should VS fire her?
Yes she is waaaay too thin! She looks anorexic! This is why women and teens have problems w/ their self-esteem – they’re trying to look like these swimsuit models who are ridiculously skinny and have no figures. It doesn’t look healthy and most men do not like that look. My husband likes curves – nice hips and a butt – the way a woman is supposed to look. I know women are all shapes and sizes! Some women can’t gain weight easily – and some women have a hard time losing weight. But when we’re talking about supermodels, and swimsuit models, fashion models – they’ve got young girls looking up to them, thinking THAT’S what “beautiful” is. It’s not so much the models fault either -it’s the fashion magazines, model agencies, sports illustrated, clothes magazines….Hollywood…..I could go on and on.
It’s unrealistic and it’s hurting our young girls.
A lot of men don’t like super skinny women, with figures like an 8 year old boy.
Just my opinion. I’m a 52 year old woman who grew up in the 80’s. I thought skinny was good – pretty much my whole life. My husband finally stopped me from being brain-washed.
