November 9, 201311 yr You can have skinny hips and a thigh gap. To be more precise its really not about wide hips per se but the proportions of your thigh gap to your hips. It's all about having wide set legs/thighs. ^As someone involved in this (medical wise)...that isn't common and I have yet to meet someone with a natural thigh gap and narrow hips, usually it is indeed the width of the hips that assumes whether or not the 'thigh gap' is genetic. most of the girls who have 34" inch hips should not have a thigh gap. there is talk, (depending on body type) whether thigh gap will be added to the DSM-V..if it does, that'll be a bell ringer for sure. i can't wait!
November 9, 201311 yr Anw would be wonderful but.. don't cry , more great jobs gonna come for barbara in the future
November 9, 201311 yr What's going on with VS? They fucked it up big time. She is one of the few models who doesn't need the chicken cutlets in her bra and have some kind of personality. I hope they figure it out soon and get back their old style, in lingerie I wanna see glamour and fun, not HF and weird beauty.
November 9, 201311 yr ^Yeah I am overall underwhelmed by the casting. Happy to see Sara and Josephine because I know they have been working their butts off for the show. Sara especially! Right now it looks like Barbara is getting outhustled by everyone. Maybe she is planning big things that we don't know about, idk. But she has done very little work in the past 2 months. I think she kind of needed the show this year. I hope she is shooting a big SS14 campaign or doing some massive L'Oreal press in Shanghai!
November 9, 201311 yr Anw would be wonderful but.. don't cry , more great jobs gonna come for barbara in the future Aw, so sweet thank you

November 9, 201311 yr I don't see how all this blame can be put on VS, sure they may deserve some of it, but some of it also belongs to Barbara. Not only that, but many here have said she has a "horrible" walk. So between that and Barbara not working very hard to get more toned, how can there be such surprise that she didn't make it in the show? I also don't agree with this idea that she would have been the only real looking woman in the show. I probably know more girls that have bodies like the rest of the models, and they don't starve themselves to look that way, they just eat healthy and work out regularly. So the other models look like real woman as well. I agree that it would have been nice to have a model like Barbara representing the more curvy body type, but that doesn't mean she should get a free pass. Models like Sara worked their butts off to make it in the show, so Barbara should be expected to do the same, specially if her walk isn't good, and especially knowing that VS prefers a different body type, but instead she did the opposite.
November 10, 201311 yr She shouldn't get a free pass. No-one is saying that. What people are saying is that it is weird that a girl that clearly has favorable relationship with VS who use her for everything should be able to land a spot somewhere. They use her for photos and not everyone agrees about her walk. If you use someone for a lot of your photos then you must think highly of their body. VS doesn't just pick girls who they don't think match the type for their photos as well as on the runway. That is why it is odd. So that is why!
November 10, 201311 yr I agree that they do use her a lot, and they do seem to like her, and that is why I believe she would have made it if she had worked harder to tone things up. Not to mention photos are very different than runway. Just because they use her a lot, that does not mean that they like her body, or all of it anyway. Most of her photos are either cropped above her belly button, or they have something covering her stomach, but they hardly ever show her tummy. What they do show is her face and boobs, but hardly any clear shots of her abdominal region. So I would not say that they think highly of her whole body, because they have indicated an issue with her stomach in my opinion. However, they can avoid that issue in photos, but that's not something so easily done on the runway. I am also not sure about this idea that every girl they pick for photos is someone they think would be good for the runway. I think the biggest thing is the fact that she didn't work out as much as she should have, because they even mentioned in the casting video that they have seen more of a working out trend this year, opposed to previous years. It seems that everyone knew to step it up this year, even the new girls, but apparently not Barbara. So again, it's not surprising or odd to me that she didn't make it.
November 10, 201311 yr All these assumptions based on nothing They show her midriff plenty this girl isn't carrying a beer gut she is perfectly sensual at body and pose with no needed extreme workout regimens or diets that would strip a colon clean. It's obvious VS is changing its imagine and what hits the catwalk. No bigger example of this then simply looking at it's past with Heidi, Tyra, Marissa and Laetitia and look at what VS is now body image wise. Plus Monica's hypocritical comments alone put more emphasis on what VS thinks "voluptuous" is and I can tell you it's twisted and warped being recognition. So whether Babs was "BUSY" with other obligations, given the boot or simply just doesn't give a hoot remains to be seen. Next year this time will be a good barometer of what VS wants and what Babs is career wise.
November 10, 201311 yr Come on guys, it's not the end of the world that she won't walk this years show. Yeah sure, it would have been nice seeing her walk, but there is always a next time. She's still so young.

She's still so young. I'm kind of with this. I honestly really don't give a crap if she's walking or not. She's never really been a runway type and I'm content with seeing her in print work. And I guess I kind of just don't hold VS or it's opinions in very high regard anymore. So it really doesn't mean much to me that she's not doing their FS.
