I adore her, but her skin does not look its best here, does it? I can not imagine the stress one's skin must experience as a model during fashion week!
Her legs.
i was JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS. I agree that (more than many on this forum even) white/european standards of beauty are arbitrary, and that diversity is desperately needed in the fashion world. That being said, to call Anna an "average white girl" is 1. not only entirely incorrect (she looks so unlike the average white woman, even russian woman) 2. offensive (she was incredibly successful, much moreso than generic blondes) and 3. unnecessary (i.e. i think she and duckie thot for example are comparably beautiful, just in different ways). I'm getting really tired of tumblr-esque reductionism when it comes to beauty in the modelling world. There are tons of cookie-cutter catalogue models that aren't necessarily striking, but are a certain eurocentric standard of beauty. Anna is not this, and saying she is is suggesting whiteness is inherently average (which, i want to bite my tongue for saying because i feel like i sound a bit "not all whites" but it's just unfair)Yikes the comments on this confession...
They don’t know anything about models. Some people were even commenting “who?”

Also, @ the commenter who said they had 5 similar looking girls in their local supermarket--unless you shop in the LES/Soho, I'm calling bullshit
I am in NYC as well (hi!) and have seen a handful of actual models on the street but what I meant was that I was calling BS on original commenterCouldn’t have said it any better and also being a New Yorker myself I can say I have never seen a girl as striking as Anna in any soho supermarket whatsoever (or soho streets period). If they want to talk about average they should argue to stop putting all these pudgy nepotism models on pedestals. That would be a more valid point.
OT but I didn't realize how many girls on here live in NYC. Has a meetup ever been done? I guess that would ruin the privacy of some people but you don't even have to give away social media to meet someone from here. Whenever I'm at a club and I see a girl that's super skinny I always think maybe she's on sg. I've only met one girl from here.I am in NYC as well (hi!) and have seen a handful of actual models on the street but what I meant was that I was calling BS on original commenter
I've only e-met one girl from here (shoutout to who you are) and never met anyone IRL. I personally think that it would be unwise for my personal life and/or career, but I wish I could know some of you personally to go to work out classes or just hang out with a cup of (black) coffee and talk. It would be refreshing not to have to conceal my predilections .OT but I didn't realize how many girls on here live in NYC. Has a meetup ever been done?

That page is a nonsense. 90 % of people who comment there do not have a clue about fashion industry or models. It makes me sick seeing those comments made by uninformed people...Yikes the comments on this confession...

But even if she gained I won't adore her less.

ps. i'm not at all surprised a ton of people here are from NYC--NY is the biggest thinspo to me, far more than LA even (i grew up there)
