I think modeling must be one of the worst jobs in the world. I know everyone jokes that all you have to do is stand there and look pretty… but what about that last part, what happens when you don’t look so pretty? Everyone’s body changes over time – even the best models out there can’t stay 19 forever. I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to have people the world over scrutinizing your body, pointing out every single tiny flaw.
Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova is being called fat after appearing on the runway this past week less than scary skinny. She had a teeny, tiny amount of meat on her bones that was visible when she made certain motions. She’s still far, far from what the average thin woman looks like.
Fashion critics have blasted model Karolina Kurkova for looking too fat in a bikini. Seriously. The Czech model wore a bikini in a recent Cia Maritima runway show and revealed what the horrified style snobs called "back fat, love handles and cellulite."
Karolina Kurkova, 24, is one of the highest-earning models in the world, according to Forbes, and is best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel and whose super-fit physique has graced the pages of international fashion mags.
But after the show during Sao Paulo's Fashion Week, a Brazilian paper noted that the leggy 5-foot-11 Kurkova "shocked" the audience when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with "cellulite on her butt."

I would give every penny I ever had to look like this woman does right now. For even a day. I cannot imagine what is going on with people, and the freakish – and unrealistic – expectations we have about what women should look like. I realize she’s a model and paid to look perfect – but how is this not good enough?
