She looks anorexic, waaay too skinny
she has the most fucking gorgeous body. im straight but id do her any day 🙂
It looks great as an arty picture, but I’m guessing she’s sucking in her stomach to make her look that skinny. Great tattoo!
Nice desert landscape.
yuck 🙁
Thanks for putting a very skinny girl up. Lots of times I feel bad about my body type since people tease “anorexic” people, but seeing this up here does make me feel better. Even if two out of the five comments are negative.
Ribs are sexy.
*n
very gorgeous.. i do hope she is healthy though
YAY….A Newfoundlander Made It To MODBLOG!….
Ribs are sexy but this pic makes me want to put myself on restrictions again.
amazing.
Holy shit! I did not expect to see a Newfy here. I like the tattoo.
sexy,
and by the way she probaly isnt as shinny as the pic suggests, i mean i can do that and i can look almost that skiny and im not unhealthy thin.
yeah i agree with bex on #8. she has lovely skin and a lovely tattoo, but does seem a bonier than someone’s body might naturally allow. the way you can see her pelvis jutting out aside from just her hipbones is very distressing to me I just hope that shes healthy and not suffereing from a disorder of some kind. when i was in high school i dealt with anorexia and it was aweful emotionally.
please tell us this is photoshopped, Shannon
While I agree that she looks far too thin to be healthy, I’m proud to see Newfoundlanders being representing on ModBlog! She’s a Newfie b’y, just like me!
I feel like singing Ode To Newfoundland right about now.
At first I thought NL meant Netherlands. Nice stomach though.
She’s laying down, that’s why she looks so skinny. If I lay down and suck my stomach in, I can look exactly like that and I am in no way even remotely anorexic. Im sure if she was standing up, she’d look fine and no one would be saying anything.
Yay for Kayla! She looks beautiful, lovin the ink 🙂
I’m with number 10 on this one.
if you see dopesickgirl (kayla) in actuality she is a very attractive and petite lady 🙂 and beautiful tattoo by the way!
whether the girl is anorexic herself or not, it’s definatly a trigger for me.
wow.she doesnt LOOK ethiopian…
do not fear, everyone! i checked out her IAM and she appears to be a very healthy looking and cute lady. a pic of the same area while she is standing looks just fine.
i believe we can stop worrying about her health and admit that we’re just jealous of her body fat percentage.
it does look like a desert, the blankest behind her even look like a sunset…how amusing!
i understand why people might feel jealously towards her – but i dont admit jealousy because i dont have any – not everyone needs/wants to have that body fat percentage. dont lump everyone together please!
also saying that, it’s a very triggering picture and having dealt with those issues in the past i really feel for some of you people who are currently triggered by it. take good care of each other please.
Glad to hear she seems healthy. But i do find it worrying that people are finding this picture triggering. I don’t think it will help to say that people are just jealous, rachelface – that will help promote the idea that it is good or particularly attractive to be underweight. I do actually worry about people’s health as i myself have struggled with anorexia and am underweight and know how difficult the whole issue is.
omg.. that’s beautifull.
Towines on MODBLOG! It makes me happy, plus I’d like to chomp on her rib bone for some reason or another.
I’m from the east coast of Newfoundland too, so I’m excited to she her posted here!
Yeah, I’m totally jealous of someone who looks anorexic. God, I wish I had a psychological disease that made me starve myself! Good call, #23.
Uhh… lighten up? My post wasn’t dead serious.
I appreciate all body types. Underweight, overweight, right weight, sideways weight. People are more than justified in finding this picture attractive. We’re dealing with individual aesthetics here.
I don’t see why so many have turned this into an eating disorder discussion. You can see a total of a foot and a half of her body and there are assumptions that she has a physical and mental disorder. Some people in the world have physiques that are naturally on the thin side. We’re all different. Accept it.. move on.. don’t assume that people who aren’t average body weights have diseases.
You’re really only contributing to the problems this society has with accepting those who are different and the impossible standards that have been placed upon women to have perfect bodies.
Just because she isn’t your ideal size doesn’t mean she can’t be someone else’s. 😉
Actually on her iam she says she has eating/body image issues…but that aside it REALLY makes me sad to see so many people say they think bones are “sexy” I’ve been anorexic for a decade and anorexia isnt sexy. You lose your hair, stop being able to shit, have the worst breath known to man, ache all over, are pale and dead-looking, and have nothing huggable about you. Oh yeah…and you usually do awful damage to your body and break your family& friends hearts by continuing to lose weight past the point of attractiveness….so yeah BONES ARENT SEXY.
is the tattoo a black hole reference, or am i just reading too much into it? 🙂
It’s pretty fucking rude how everyone’s slating her body. Interesting double standard isnt it, if someone said “omg fat chick, gross!” to an overweight girl they’d be publicly crusified.
That aside, i think this is a pretty cool tattoo.
i think she has a gorgeous body.
and shame on anyone who tries to bring her down by saying anything negative.
why do people think it’s okay to talk smack on skinny girls, but it’s oh-so-fucked to call fat people fat?
it’s not your business either way, tisk-tisk.
She has a gorgeous body.
10, 19, 21. i agree. with all. that said, she has an amazing body, and the tattoo is cute.
Its a trigger? Please…people need to take responsibility for their own eating issues.
Really. I think its a great photo and the overall image creates a beautiful setting for this tattoo.
This is what her IAM says:
” i love food and anything with calories in it, but i also have an arguably unhealthy fixation on being thin and losing weight. it causes me a great deal of stress and unhappiness.”
I hope she feels better now 🙁
Fuckin amazing the assumptions people make. I am about as skinny as that, have been my whole life. I am totally fit and healthy, and eat more than most people i know, That is just how i am. Different people have different body types. To the comment
“so yeah BONES ARENT SEXY” Im sure anorexia is horrible but that is an assumption YOU are making. Should healthy skinny like me pack on a few pounds to make everyone else feel more comfortable?
I would love to meet any of you that make stupid assumtions, so you can watch me eat a pizza drink a six pack while telling me I MUST be anorexic.
Actually, although I prefer chubby girls, I agree with what people are saying about a double standard. I’m skinny, and I know from experience that while people generally realise that it’s not cool to make fun of people for being fat, they won’t think twice about saying “OMG YOU’RE SO SKINNY YOU MUST NEVER EAT” etc.
I think the majority of the “mod blog” girls are always represented as a certain body type. You hardly see beautiful women with above average or even near average body weight. The average American woman is a 26% BMI. Not underweight like the majority shown. Some women are naturally skinny which is fine but most women are not rib poking thin. Thats the reality. So its ostracizing a good percentage of women to constantly praise the unhealthy size, its part of life “you can never be too rich or too thin”. Wether its triggered by a disorder or not, being underweight in general has become a problem right next to obesity. If that girl actually said she has an eating disorder than I think thats fair representation. Her online name is “dope sick” . Am I the only one who caught that. ? DOPE SICK. Thats just screaming healthy life style, right? To the skinnies that just have wicked metabolisms more power to them. But people are skinny people are fat. If everyone was praised equally as human beings and not just bodies I dont think it would matter.
#37: I don’t hear anyone here “blaming” her for triggering them. It is quite ignorant to assume that anyone suffering from anorexia, or those who have been effected by it in the past, place the blame for their disorders on images such as these. Triggers are not conscious decisions, that’s why they are called “triggers” — they are impulsive urges that arise from various stimulus.
Of course those naive to the disorder may not understand, but this is in line with cutters viewing pictures of such behaviour and it eliciting feelings.
Blaming those with the disorder is not beneficial in any way — if someone is sick it is not their, or anyone elses, fault.
On a side note, personally I have no experience with eating disorders other than learning about them in my current program in Uni. However, I do understand how this image could be troubling to those who have; the jutting ribs and hips.
Her tattoo is beautiful and I hope she eventually finds comfort in her own skin.
fucking sexy, i was there when that tattoo was done. Lesley says your BEAUTIFUL baby.
eat a sangwhich or two…
looks like a surreal desert landscape… nice composition… also, i dun think it’s right for people to ASSUME she’s anorexic… when we see larger folks on modblog should we ASSUME they are pregnant or have control issues? i think not… let’s try to see the good in things instead of trying to plaster every post with negative BS… i love you and you love me… let’s make babies please… 😉
Interesting tattoo, but no offence to her – she is way too thin. She looks very unhealthy =[
She says right in her description she has image issues and a problem with not eating. So no one is ASSUMING anything. Atleast she doesnt lie about it. I dont think the point is to slander anyone. Its the fact that “mod blog” girls are all the same exact size, an unrealistic size considering the majority of women are not under weight. Everyone is different and beautiful in their own way, everyone has a different metabolism. BUT… As a woman I can fully appreciate the female form. I love feminine bodies that have curves and breasts. Shape is what makes women different than men. Its a beautiful thing that i dont think is fairly represented here.
i love the skeletal tattoo and her visible ribs, etc.
in regards to her body image, i’m not too concerned about it with this photo as i am by no means skinny and i can lay on my back, arch a little and suck in big time and achieve the same look, same protruding ribs and hip bones.
Skinny people exsist!! Will everybody just get used to it?!
And just to point out , Modblog has probably the widest variety of body types shown anywhere… So, if skinny girls are monopolizing modblog, its because they are the ones sending in more pictures…
(and I thought she meant dope, and sick as good things?)
I’m not as thin as the girl in the picture, but I am rather skinny/petite and I’ve had my fair share of being teasted since I was in elementry school. In high school, I’d get some friends who’d just go “OMG YOURE SOO SKINNY,” but I mean, who has the fucking balls to say HOLY SHIT YOU ARE FAT to a heavier person? Anyway, shitty comments make people feel shitty. Lay off.
