Well if a supermodel says so...who can argue. I came across the story about supermodel Gisele Bundchen blaming families, not the fashion industry, for the rampant anorexia plaguing models these days. She contends that "there are people born with the right genes for this profession", and that a strong family base kept her on a healthy path. Her comment reminded me of the "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" quote from Kelly LeBrock in a commercial awhile back. Well, don't hate Gisele because she's so insightful. Because she's absolutely right. We all can't be supermodels. Just like we all can't be rocket scientists or jockeys.
But if some of these gals don't have the right genetic stuff for runway strutting I think I have the perfect career move, competitive eating. Now I know what your thinking , "that's not funny, you sick insensitive bastard". But hold your Nathans and consider that most of the elite competitive eaters are of average size and one of the best in the world, Sonya Thomas, weighs less than 120 pounds. Popular Science has a theory on this phenomena: "A skinny man's stomach has little fat to push against it and fight the food for space". And since rules state that competitors only need to keep down the comestibles until the competition ends, regurgitation is an option already in most models repertoire.
I think I just came up with the next hit reality TV show. Combine a fashion show with a competitve eating contest. Picture three models, wearing the latest by Versace, strutting to the end of a runway where a table is set up with three piles of HDB's (hotdogs w/ buns). I wonder if Kelly LeBrock is available to host.
