@ you guys Though health is always a valid concern. I must say the administrators recently outlawed weight discussions as a result of the circus in the Alessandra thread . Though I'm sure this is probably what comes to the mind of most with this subject, so I know it will be difficult, but I guess we'll see where it goes. If it gets to hard I'll just make it a poll .

What are your predictions, hopes, projections ect. for this new decade in fashion ? My Predictions Diversity Hispanic Not sure whether to expect any relative increase in non-Brazilian/non-Argentinian/non-European Hispanic models as a whole, but I don't expect to see a decrease by any means. Though there has been an unmistakable increase in Hispanic models of African descent (probably in part due to being, in most cases considerably taller). African Descent I expect the % of African American models to remain constant as we didn't see a considerable increase from 90s to first 00s decade (though notably not a high % of the general population in main agency headquarter areas and only 12% of America's general population). Brazilians of African descent on the other hand have increaced drastically in the last 5 years alone and I expect that trend to continue. Though interrestingly enough, every year there are more and more blacks than ever in commercials in general in Western countries including cosmetic ads (though of non-models). Aisan With the first publication of China Vogue coming onto the fashion scene in 2005, I expect to see more and more Asian models in this upcoming decade. As a matter of fact there are more Asian models than some realize. However, ironically European models like Sasha P are very popular with the issue and was on the last cover I saw, much like the regular issue, I think . But even if the Asian fashion market were to continue to prefer European models there will still be more Asian than there were before. Middle East I expect more and more models from there by some of the up and comers. African I expect African models to remain constant if not have a slight increase. Obscure European The European countries not known for producing models in comparisson to their conterparts don't show any sign of an increase at the moment. Overall Positive -The increasingly more open minded (or liberated to express said openmindedness) culture in general with regards to diversity should likely trickle down to all areas of entertainment. And if anything definitely won't digress. General Outlook I see tons of potential. There are some young models who could satisfy high fashion and commercial audiences and some potentially very versatile in general. Though those at the top aren't as commercially visible, the internet has still revolutionized the visibility of the mid to bottom pack model. Models that would have been just that girl from an ad no one knew 10-15 years ago have fmd, supermodels.nl and all kinds of online databases to be seen by more people and more and more people use the web every year... Crossover Careers With the increased emphasis on looks in both film and music more than ever before, in some cases acting classes and training in hosting skills are even beginning to be emphasized more and more to girls in modeling schools. With this steadily increasing focus on looks in all entertainment media I wouldn't be surprised to see more former-model actresses and model/actresses than ever before...

Thanks guys . Oh, I remember her now, the one one of the ones they gave that super awful makeover to . Wow, she went #5 on ANTM . She's a fierce poser, mysterious, sexy, exotic, edgy and 5'10 too (unlike a lot of them), common! But that's ANTM for you .

Go Josie, go :hell yea!: !!!

Imageshack deleted my pics and now Tinypic deleted yourse . Thanks for stopping by anyways . Hmmm, should have came to you first, that would have been a good title . Well...they are hands I guess . Thanks, glad you like another one of my topics . You'll have to show me how to size these pics like this sometime. I was about to post that Marisa one ironically and also that Emmanuella one (one of my favorites of her and her skin looks so super yummy there too ...) But here's another one... backup... For lisa ...and kiki too I guess :morning: ...

She apparently has other stuff on sites based on that language, I just can't read it . Some more :morning: .

Face: Doutzen Crows :yuckky: I guess if they were regular people her beauty would stand out more. But who cares if Doutzen is way prettier, that doesn't change anything, Josie's still got that special intangible charm that melts me and that's all that matters . Body: Josie (Y). More feminine (Y). I know you may say, no one thing is particularly amazing but all comes together very well. Her legs have beautiful shape and her tummy is flat yet oh so soft . In a way average-ish, yet in a way flawless. Average perfection ! Sexiness: .5. Josie has the girl next door charm that just melts me so . But to be fair, Ms. Khols admittedly has some charms and a super soothing voice :yuckky: .

Guess I'll start off ...

Its not what it looks like ! Well...I guess it is . But the breast holding or covering pose is one of the most basic, common and timeless of all sensual poses in all forms of modeling. The pose is timeless because its both sensual and somewhat artistic and classy-ish and very femenine and is thus virtually fool proof to the point of requiring neither great modeling skill, nor a particularly sensual nature, nor even any particular type of breasts in general. A large % of models (regardless of genre) have at least one of these in their portfolio, so there's a strong chance one of your favorites belongs here. Come one, come all !

Just sent the pics to be blocked . *edit, pics added* Thanks to Chocolate for blocking my pics . (Josie Maran, Nominated by Prettyphile) (Doutzen Kroes, Pictures by Me.....)

I can't believe its been in Babe Polls for 2 years . But anyway, she's interresting. Kindof a retro vampire thing going on there, but in a good way .

I meant to start her thread but forgot her name . Thanks .

what?? That's how they all look . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marija / / - first just in case I'm the only one really feelin' this . Oluchi Behati Heidi E for effort but, eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk !!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Baron, brilliant choice indeed, haven't heard that one (Y) . @ Mike, that's definitely one of my favorites (Y). @ azgirl, I didn't forget about the PM . Just wasn't sure which question to ask and how to make it make the most sense . I'm starting to lean toward just starting the thread over as a "Favorite Animinated Movie or Show Songs" Thread . Because on one hand its a crime to not equally acknowledge equally great songs from lesser known scenes and movies and on the other hand there's so many songs from so many years and then on the other hand, most voters automatically gravitate toward what has the most sentimental childhood feelings rather than assessing what songs are the best in the same way they would for any other genere. And with this demographic, obviously anything pre Little Mermaid is a huge underdog no matter how good it may be. So maybe its best to start it over as a general discussion .

Thanks .
