Hanne Gaby Odiele

Um...I'm not saying that I prefer the "healthy" look, as in, I prefer people to look fat -- I'm just saying that there's a difference between looking thin and looking cachectic.

I know what you're saying. But she does not look at all sick - and comparing her body to one that is cachectic?!? You are going to the ridiculous extremes here.
 
She's known to have an eating disorder, right? She doesn't look all that healthy in this photo. It's not that she's thin -- lots of models are equally thin -- but she looks like she's lost the normal subcutaneous fat that covers the skull, especially in the temporal area. I don't think it's extreme, but I think she's getting into the realm of looking like someone who is ill rather than someone who is merely thin. What do you guys think?

I disagree--i definitely don't think she looks too skinny and she doesn't look ill..to me she just looks like a model and a very pretty one at that

It's not her body (which looks pretty normal), it's her face. Her face just doesn't look right to me. But maybe that's just the way her face naturally is -- maybe it always looks like her skin is stretched directly over her skull. Anyways, if you guys think she looks fine, then I'm willing to stand corrected :)

I don't usually find her face at all appealing, but when her hair's down and not slicked back she looks quite stunning!

Yeah I think it would help if her eyebrows were more defined and visible.

I thought these were just beautiful :oops:
 
In some photos, her face seems really pretty and lovely but then in others I just don't like it at all. Lovely legs though, certainly.

I think it's her skull, really. When she has her hair down and eyebrows more defined, she instantly looks better, but when it's slicked back or whatnot, she suddenly veers into ill-looking territory. I think it's like Abbey Lee and her pink hair - your hair can really make or break how you look.
 
I don't think you should say shit like that

I know, I'm sorry - I take it back. I'm not sure what I was thinking (I read somewhere that she has an ED, but I should know better than to trust random shit I read on the internet).

yeah, I don't think there is anything inbetween. Either yah or nah, but at least she has an interesting face.

I just read on fashionspot.com that HGO is pretty short in person.
