Alessandra Ambrosio in a Bikini (and More)!
January 24, 2010 in Alessandra Ambrosio, Hot Models by Versus
Yuhuu… bikini treat!
More precisely, VS model bikini treat, aka Alessandra Ambrosio, who is working & vacationing at the same time on the beach.
Soooo much more after the jump!
wow she looks really skinny. And those abs! woah. I do think shes too thin though… but I would trade my body for hers in a second.
i agree she’s a bit too skinny for my taste but that’s her figure and it definetly works! very cute.
I agree too! The girls got tone! Although, too skinny in my opinion…. She looks about 5 or 7 pounds heavier in the VS ads after they photo-shop her, I think she’d look ideal with that much more weight… But DANG, the girl has such a perfect face! She is exquisite!

I don’t have words… she is perfect…
she is indeed (-:
Agreed. In my eyes her body is absolutely perfection!
you have to be kidding, she’s so skinny her legs are same size as her arms, she has lost so much weight it looks she just come from a horse ride with legs unable to be close, is sick, scary skinny!
Agreed! I think she looks awful. And it is wrong to say that it’s her ‘natural body type’, because she looked wayy better a couple of years ago. She’s had a baby, and she has clearly dieted too much after to get back on track with modeling, but this is just wrong. Too much space between her legs, no boobs and arms like needles. There are no real curves, and she is short compared to most models. It is not a good body, neither for modeling nor in real life. Gisele has a good model body because she is skinny but still looks healthy.
she looks fairly gaunt…and that HUGE space between her thighs in 3rd (from bottom) picture is downright scary
yeah, that upper thigh shot kind of freaked me out, too.
OMG, SCARY. loooks like a scrawny old man in the 2nd pic.
agreed!!! She’s a tad too skinny. I’m not a fan of chicken legs. On models, yes I can see how that’s attractive but in real life…it’s scary looking.
she’s really pretty and is in reallyyy good shape, but her legs are kinda short considering her height.
If the legs weren’t so thin they would be veeery short for a model! Even now that they are skinny, they are “kinda short considering her height.”
true
Her legs are pretty much as long as the rest of her body is (from her torso up). They might not be considered long legs, but surely they can’t be viewed as short? I’m just wondeing because it’s not the first time I hear people saying her legs are really short, although they’ve always looked average to me lenght-wise.
Apparently, you can tell if you have long, average or short legs by standing in front of a mirror and seeing where the crease on your inner elbow falls in comparison with your natural waist (usually some way above your navel). If the elbow crease is above the natural waist, you have short legs and a long torso (which looks like it could be the case with Alessandra). If they are on the same level you are in perfect proportion legs and torso-wise. If the crease is below the natural waist, you have long legs and a short torso.
I found it on here, but, of course, a more accurate way would be getting all the measurements instead of just looking at the waist and elbows:

hey thanks! yes I guess it would better to have the measurments, but this technique seems to be pretty efficient!
I noticed too that her legs are on the short side for her height. But I disagree about her being in good shape, she’s just downright skinny. I highly doubt exercise has anything to do with it.
apparently she’s only like 5’6/not taller than 5’7.5.
none of the VS models are particularly tall, except maybe doutzen and lindsay.
she looks disgusting… i do NOT find that attractive..way too skinny
haterr! she looks good, and she’s not too skinny, she’s a MODEL, it’s her job to be thin.
Well that and it is her NATURAL body type, so it’s really just kinda rude in general. I can understand an opinion but to say she’s disgusting? It’s like me calling Christina Hendricks disgusting because it’s not my preferred body type.
I don’t see most of you chiding people when they call fat folks disgusting.
It’s not a personal comment against you. You’ll live.
Am I suppose to comment every single person who says something rude? There are enough people who “chide” those morons who say those things and I am glad others let them know what they are saying is hurtful, I just don’t always comment and post that I agree with them.
I agree with Alias. People have different body types and I think it’s fine to say that’s not your ideal but saying she is disgusting. You should expect slack for that. Just because she is skinny doesn’t mean it wouldn’t hurt her or people who have that same body type the same way as it would be calling someone curvy disgusting when that is their natural body type.
I’m just curious. How do you know whether she’s “naturally thin” or not? I mean, is there some way you can tell?
And naturally thin people can still try to lose weight too right? I’m not saying she is trying to lose weight, but sometimes I read comments that seem to suggest that being “naturally thin” means someone isn’t also being restrictive with their diet.
There are many pictures of her from when she was young and just started out modeling, and she is very thin. It shouldn’t be surprising that she is naturally thin, most models in general are already (naturally) thin – which is mostly why they become models in the first place!
Natural body type? I soooo love that comment. Yeah, SOME girls are rail thin… but USUALLY, you have little girls (10, 11, 12, 13 etc) who look up these models and feel the need to emulate their size. That leads to 11 year olds with eating disorders. It’s disgusting and sick, and the harm these girls are doing to look like this at such a young age is irreparable. I’m a lot happier to hear women and men saying that having bones sticking out left and right is disgusting instead of hearing how someone like Christina Hendricks should chop off her tits because they are “huge and gross” or “make her look fat.” Those are natural-THAT is more common, and a figure like hers makes most “average” sized people more comfortable with themselves. It’s a messed up world when we want to mutilate ourselves to banish our bodies of natural and beautiful things.
You make it sound as if christina is “the only normal” and that anything else is unacceptable. My whole family is naturally thin and we don’t have any restrictions on food. Are we freaks. Is it bad for us to look at someone like ally and think it’s wrong to look like that!
By your ideology, girls who are 11 will also get breast implants because they don’t have breasts like Christina Hendricks (very few adult women do, actually). Or, they will get their face redone because they don’t have Angelina’s cheekbones. Or, they will get butt implants or eat fast food so they can have Kim Kardashian’s booty.
You see my point. That’s not how eating disorders work…it’s not that simple. It’s not just, “Oh Alessandra is thin, I want to be like her, so now I will have anorexia.” Talk to someone suffering from an ED, you might get enlightened.
So Hellon…according to you what should naturally thin women do? Inject their body with fat so that other people won’t get eating disorders? I’m sorry but people don’t just change THEIR body type to make YOU happy.
Casey & Sharen, you guys are both right I understand where you are coming from. I am SO glad there are other people who are on the same page : D
Same here Alias.
One thing that has always bugged me is how people buy into the “pop” explanation of ED, because I have worked with sufferers, and it’s just not that simple. Most girls with ED don’t look up to celebrities or models or want to be as thin as them. They have an eating disorder because in their head, they see fat. They could be 80 pounds, way thinner than any celebrity or model, and still think they are fat. This is not a problem of media, it’s a problem of the mind.
As for restrictive dieting, which often gets confused for an eating disorder, I can see that being influenced by the media. But the media hurts everyone, not just non-skinny people. It hurts anyone who doesn’t have clear skin, or anyone who doesn’t have breasts or a beautiful face or an hourglass figure. How many women actually have Christina Hendrick’s figure? Most women her size don’t look like her.
The way the media seems to be heading, they’re just going to replace one ideal (skinny models like Alessandra) with another ideal (perfectly proprtioned hourglass figures like Christina Hendricks). It will never be something “obtainable.”
For Alias, do you get what I mean or am I being abnoxious.
Julie I don’t think you are being obnoxious at all! I completely understand your point of view, as it’s the same as mine : D I just think there is a double standard sometimes…
People are quick to judge when someone dares say a fuller figured girl looks slightly “chunky” or something, but when someone flat out says a skinny person (and a natural one at that) is disgusting, everyone seems to think that it’s okay! I just don’t get it. I really like Versus’ site and I think that all of us as women should start accepting other body types, and not be so rude. I can totally understand personal preferences, it’s what makes us all unique! But when certain body types start getting bashed, it’s really cruel when you think about it.
I mean not gunna lie, my sister basically has legs like Ale, and to hear “disgusting” about Ale’s is really unfortunate. I suppose I can’t complain though because I am the one who chooses to visit this website.
I think she is really skinny but really toned. I don’t think I’d like to have her body though..
yea, i agree. i like her body, but i prefer someone like adriana lima’s more.
there’s a limit to how thin one should be,
it’s not a criticism of her personally but the modelling standards in general
agree!!I think that is definitelly unhealthy!!Her bones are everywhere!
I agree with you. Sorry but she does look disgusting. I seriously cringed when I looked at this. I thought lingerie models were supposed to be sexy? I have a hard time believing this is “natural”. Maybe if you consider eating 800 calories a day natural.
Sharen- did you read my comment at all, or are you just butt hurt that I don’t share your opinion that alessandra is a goddess and the epitome of perfection and that we should ALL aspire to look like that? You sound like someone who just wants to start a fight.
Did I state that Christina’s body type is the only acceptable body type out there? No I did not- HOWEVER- more people in this world are naturally “curvy” than born with proportions like (removed by admin). I used Chrisitina as an example because it was a recent post that also caused a lot of uproar. And actually, yes, 11 year olds DO think like that. It is society’s near -impossible- for -the- normal- woman ideals that are making younger and younger women and technically girls go to extremes to fit in and alter their bodies instead of accepting what they are born with. Now, yes, some E.D’s stem from control issues, abuse, etc.. but go take some classes on psychology of E.D’s, or better yet, go visit your local junior high and high school and talk to the majority of the girls there and ask why they are exercising a ridiculous amount and restricting their calories at a time when it is pretty much crucial for them not to. (and as far as me being “enlightened on the subject” i’d say that my degree in psych and work in the medical field pretty much qualifies me as somewhat enlightened.)
So for those of you that did not actually read my statement or don’t fully understand my comment, there needs to be a change; there needs to a limit on just how skinny “models” can be, and there needs to be a hell of a lot more variety in womens body types- especially in sex symbol type roles. It is sick and wrong for girls to grow up thinking that you NEED to be 5’11 and 90 lbs with bones jutting through your skin to be considered sexy enough. Or that you are somehow disgusting if you happen to have naturally large breasts or a large rear end.
well that’s not every girl because girls have issues with their bodies because they don’t have the booty, hips and thighs, even breast. so it goes both ways but it seem people choose not to see it that way because everyone so caught up of girls wanting to be a size 2. i went through the same thing growning, wasn’t serious. but i wanted to have that curvier body because from what i heard, most men like that and don’t want a skinny chick that is nothing but full of bones. women from all body types have issues with the way they look because of what they see or how badly they were treated about their figure. you may not see it that way but others do and i can guarantee any girl will say they will love to have a body like kim, beyonce, christina, the voluptuous women.
meant to say growing up.
That is definitely true as well, but girls don’t usually starve themselves to become more voluptuous.
Well it really is a matter of opinion. I mean whatever makes one person happy might not make another person happy. Not all girls want to be skinny and not all girls want to be curvy. Alessandra chose to be a model so she must like being skinny and if that makes her happy then good for her. Also I have seen a lot skinnier than Alessandra. I know what underweight and under nourished looks like and if you think alley is it you should take a better look out there. And not all girls are influenced by the media. I am way more influenced by my parents and friends.
Yes, I did read your comment, and I’m sorry if you were trying to transmit something there but to me it just sounded resentful…
And don’t make up stuff about me thinking Alessandra is a Godess, I have never once said she was perfect, in fact I commented above about not liking her in some of these pics. For me Alessandra is good looking, but not the epitome of perfection.
Oh, in fact there is my comment, right under this one.
Well she looks pretty good in some (like the one with the white bikini) and really weird in others (the one with the huge space between her thighs)..so I don’t really know what to think…
She shouldn’t go around with her hair like that though, it doesn’t go well with her head at all, if she wants to get out of her face she should go with a lower ponytail.
I think she’s too thin. I agree her natural body type is propably on the thin side, but this is just too skinny for me. But i do see a really stunning girl there too, it’s just when i take a closer look at her body that i don’t really find it that attractive.
I’ve always been insanely jealous of her body, but these pictures make me far less so. Now I’m not ragging on her body (because that body must take lots of time, self-control and incredible genetics,) but her body is way too muscly for someone on as skinny as she is.
And, as someone who is very muscular herself, I can tell you that being very muscular adds to your size, partially because your fat builds on top of the muscle. She must have a very, very low body fat. fat the pictures of her stomach are almost cringe-worthy. (In my own humble opinion.)
I think her body would look much, much better if it was just a bit softer.
She is PERFECT, I´d kill for that body
I’m sorry, this girl may have one of the most beautiful faces of VS, but her body in pic 8 is just… ghastly. Noone should have a gap between their (closed!) thighs that they fit their whole arm through! Also her jutting hipbones are making this weird wavy dent in her skin that just grosses me out. Some of this may just be weird lighting or poses because in the next two pictures she looks better. Still to skinny though. I think she went overboard dieting after having her baby.
in some pictures she looks good but in others she looks kinda masculine , like a very tall man or something or maybe its just me i don’t know, her knees are kinda ugly too
The problem is not that she is thin but that she is not soft and youthful any more. Some years ago she was as thin as in these pictures but she seemed better, with better body lines and not so bony.
Dear universe, why can’t I have legs like those?
Yeah, with a huge gap like in the photo 8, eh?
I think she has a great body, but her thighs are so tiny. If she had a little more meat or bulk to her thighs I think she would look much better.
Wouldn’t want her face and wouldn’t want her body, not that they are bad but for my liking she is too thin.
What’s her body type?
I’d say she is a ruler shape. She does a good job in the first pic at making her hips look a lot wider than they are tho!
she’s a thin hourglass.
come on, a ruler shape is totally straight, she has curvy hips.
She looks to be an A cup. Ruler shape is more like it.
I didn’t think it was possible to get such a flat and toned stomach after having kids or just being really overweight and losing the weight. I thought there would be a lot of sagging skin and that’ll prevent someone having the kind of stomach she has. Did she have a tummy tuck?
If you lose the weight slowly, with exercise, moisturizers and healthy eating you can get abs like that and no sagging skin. But it takes a lot of will and patience. She`s not the only one, Gwen Stefani has killer abs to, and she gave birth.
Thanks for responding
!
She looks very skinny in those pictures, but the scary thing is that the camera typically makes you look heavier than in real life…so she probably looks even skinnier in real life.
It’s the video camera that makes you look heavier, not the photo camera!!
she is really skinny. what’s her body type?
column straight up and down and tall
She’s just painfully thin now, in my opinion. All that muscle and no fat. Her face is gorgeous, yes, but I think she’d look even prettier with 10 pounds on her.
I saw her in NYC last summer and she was brutally thin then and we all know you look bigger in photographs so I can’t imagine how thing she must look like in person now
/
she looks like my boyfriend but with breasts.
and imho she doesn’t look naturally skinny, a friend of mine looks the same and shes a sport-anorexic :-/
if thats natural then its just not my cup of tea.
LOL! That cracks me up:)
No. She’s lost too much weight since having her baby. I thought she was a little thin before she became a mom but this isn’t attractive to me. Her face is also becoming a little masculine for my taste. A little more subcutaneous fat would go a long way.
She’s hawt! Holy crap she’s skinny! She’s 5’10 (holy moley) I thought she was shorter but I looked it up and she is a lot taller than I thought. Maybe I was thinking of another model. I can’t imagine being 5 inches taller and that skinny! I read she is 113lbs. I might believe that but she’s prob closer to 115lbs at such a tall height!
She looks nasty she look like she starves her self to death and no she doesn’t look healthy in my opinion she has huge space between her legs not even 5 grader has it I think her body look disgusting I used to think her body is nice but not after these picture a lot of woman want to look and be a size of a doll but they don’t realize that a dolls don’t eat all day because she’s not human and we are human we need some meet to stay healthy and look healthy where I come from when woman look like that they take her to the hospital
well women come in all shapes and sizes. so you can’t assume because she’s thin she has a problem. sometimes pictures can make a person look bigger or skinnier than their natural weight. so to say she’s not a human because of what she looks like is crazy if you ask me.
Thighs don’t have to rub to be healthy.
Healthy legs come in all shapes and sizes is all im saying.
Ooohhh love the avatar : D who is it? She’s hot! I commented you back, above^ but it’s ‘awaiting moderation’, I think I typed VS’ name in my comment that’s why.
Oh wait it’s Alysa Milano <3 she's gorg :]
lol, yeah. It’s Alyssa Milano. She has an awsome body/face. I wish versus would do a post on her.
People just say it’s unhealthy because they’re jealous. True story.
You see that photos and that think this is actually healthy? Or like the photo number 8 with that huuuge space between the legs? Her tummy is not perfect, toned but soo soft and not looking nice.
I said that I don’t find these pictures healthy. That makes me fat and jealousing? 55 108 pounds, pretty toned. Don’t usually talk about myself, but at times I find that I have to.
Funny you should say that. My boyfriend thinks that a girl is too big once the thighs touch. Except of course those with really narrow hips whose thighs are bound to touch no matter how small they are.
Seriously? Oh man, it’s bad enough when women tell each other that, but to hear that a boyfriend says that? Ouch.
It doesn’t bother me since my thighs happen to not touch (have wide hips for my frame). But I mean, men have different preferences, and they’re entitled ot them. Of course, I doubt I’d be with him if I had thighs that he considered too big, and he with me, but it’s not like he’s a bad person just because he doesn’t like his women’s thighs to touch.
I’m not saying he is a bad person, but his comment doesn’t make him a good person either. I don’t fall into the category of “slim”, never have and never will, I’m large framed, but it does bother me a bit when anyone says that slim women have something wrong with them because they are slim, so I can’t really understand why you aren’t bothered by him saying such things. He needs to understand that women are all built differently, and while his preference may be for a woman built like you, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with a woman that isn’t built like you. What if you start gaining weight, and while you may still be healthy with the weight gain, you are now the owner of touching thighs, wide hips not withstanding? What is he, or you for that matter, goign to do then?
I do want to explain something though. A few of my female friends that have gotten into relationships with guys that express similar opinions have been very controlling and/or abusive men that slowly but surely wore down their self esteem and sense of self worth. It didn’t start out with red flags that would have made these girls run screaming for the hills, these guys started out like “proper” gentlemen and slowly starting pecking away at these girls. They eventually got out of the relationships, but the damage was already done
I hate to see women putting such restrictive beauty/body ideals on each other, we have become our own worst enemies on this, but when I see it spilling over to being held up by men too, it makes me feel we are slowly losing this battle of such highly restrictive and potentially harming ideals. So I apologize for coming off so strongly on this, but that is my reasoning behind it, and I want to see it stop, and if people say nothing about it, than it won’t stop, IMO.
Well Fluffy, I don’t think Casey’s boyfriend was saying anything mean, it wasn’t cruel or anything, it’s just his taste, like if he said “I think women under 5′ 6” are too short”…it wouldn’t really be cruel, it’s just his taste. Plus, he was telling his girlfriend, it’s not like he was going around telling women who’s thighs touch.
It very nice that while you are not slim, it bothers you when slim women are criticized, if more people were like that alot of women would be happier with their appearance.
I think fluffykins makes a very good point about the thighs not touching to be more of a trait/body type rather than a tell tail sign of being over/under/normal weight. I do however agree that Caseys boyfriend is allowed to have a preference and to me it’s not offensive. However when it comes to fluffy talking about men wearing down woman with their ideals/opinions I think that it’s about time woman started to care less what men want and do what makes them happy whether thats being curvy, slim, athletic, muscular. I think do what makes yourself happy, I do.
Since we’re still talking about it, can I at least provide the context that the convo took place in because I think the words are being misinterpreted…and I don’t want anyone feeling bad about their body.
I asked him what he liked physically in a woman. One of the things he said was he liked how women have a little space between their legs, because typically women that don’t are too big. He meant too big for his own opinion of an ideal woman. He didn’t say women who don’t have the gap are fat, disgusting, or what you guys are interpreting it as. He didn’t even say he wouldn’t date a woman who didn’t have the gap. All he said was he prefers space between the legs.
The reason why I bothered to mention it was because I didn’t even know men thought about whether a woman’s thighs touched or not, and since we were talking about thighs, it was kind of a “DID YOU KNOW?” thought that I had.
As for controlling/abusive men, that could go both ways, Fluffykins. I was with a man who was into big booty/boobs, and I don’t have either, and he made sure to remind me frequently. Doing something like that doesn’t depend on WHAT your opinion is (skinny, curvy, short, tall), it depends on what kind of person you are. My ex was an insecure person, and so are all other men who feel the need to put others down like that.
But I understand your reasoning and why you’re coming off strong. No one should feel bad about something they cannot change. I just hope I clarified the situation and that no one walks away thinking they have to have gaps in their thighs to be attractive.
mine used to touch at 51kgs or 112 polunds(I am 5 5 or 1,66). Doesn;t mean that I was fat. Just body type.
Haha same with my brother & his friends. They love the Victoria’s Secret models, especially Alessandra.
Wow, if my boyfriend said something like that I’d invent a similar ridiculous rule about his ding dong and dingle berries.
I lol’d at this comment.
Your boyfriend sounds like a real winner.
Well, they might deserve each other you know.
I really hope no one gets into a car accident, or gets sick or anything else horrifying that might cause them to become immobile and suddenly have thighs that touch. As for this crap about people with narrow hips being the ones who have thighs that meet each other-come off it. My mothers thighs always touched and she had the widest hips i’d ever seen on a female nor was she overweight.
Actually, he is a winner. You know, it’s strange. When a man says he prefers a skinny girl, or in this case, that he prefers women who have a space between their thighs, he is automatically assumed to be some kind of a**hole. Yet, if he had said something like, “I like a woman with curves, not like those 12 year old boys” or some equally disparaging comment, he would be welcomed with open arms (I find this to be true simply from looking at how comments left by “men” on these threads are percieved). That’s quite a double standard, since both opinions are equally valid. And it could quite be that the man who likes thicker girls is a jerk, while the man who likes skinny girls is a gentleman (as in this case).
But anyway, this is getting weird and personal. Tbh, I was only expecting Julie’s reply but w/e.
Casey you are 100% right.
The difference is there is no real pressure to be curvy, it is a passing gimmick at the moment, however the pressure to be thin is there, it does create eating disorders, it is not something that can be over looked. Also curvy is a bit more of a general term, thighs not touching is quite specific.
If your boyfriend says that he prefers very thin women, that’s fine. I don’t see any problem with it at all. But considering that most healthy weight individuals have thighs that touch (and I’m not saying that if your thighs don’t touch, you’re not at a healthy weight), this comment to me is a red flag. But he’s not my boyfriend so it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. What matters is if your boyfriend equats women who’s thighs touch as a sign of being overweight. If he does, well, he’s completely incorrect and his standards of beauty are quite high and very distorted.
Kae I perfectly understand what you are saying. But just because that is his preference it means he is distorted?
So let’s just say that a guy’s preference would be Christina Hendricks, and anything smaller is “too skinny”, would that be a distorted view as well? Does it now mean his preferences are skewed because a perfectly healthy, thin woman happens to not have breasts as large as Christina?
I know many, MANY guys who like tiny, skinny women, whose thighs happen to not tough, it’s not abnormal and it’s not distorted. I think once again there is some judgement going on.
There is NOTHING WRONG with a woman just because her thighs don’t touch, it all has to do with bone structure and the specific body type.
Alias,
Can I ask how old you are, or rather, how young you are?
Well Alias, there is also NOTHING WRONG with a woman whose thighs DO touch, and I think that’s what really sparked this debate here, because people are making it seem like “thigh gap, GOOD!! thighs touching BAD!!!”
I do agree with what else you are saying though, when a person starts to disparage healthy weighted women regardless of their size, it does show a skewed and distorted view of this issue. But I think the problem here is that a certain feature that a woman really can’t have any control over(in a healthy manner) is being considered good or bad regardless of what the woman’s oever all body structure/build/weight/health is. If you are the “proud” owner of thighs that don’t touch, Good for you I guess. But what about the women that don’t have that “fortunate” feature? Are they now supposed to feel like they are wrong for it?
Yep Casey you are right.
To Casey, sorry if I took so long to reply. You are very perceptive. You make a very good point and im glad you are not afraid to express your point of view.
Casey, you are totally right! On internet men who like thin girls are told they are jerks or gay. Which is weird, cause then Alessandra, Marissa and other thin women are always at the head of AskMen lists and all that. My boyfriend and most of my guy friends like thin girls, that doesn’t mean they want bones and don’t like butts and boobs, they like healthy thin girls, and yes, they very much like Victoria’s Secret models.
beckers!, you might not of noticed it, but there is also a pressure to be curvy (not fat)…the difference is naturally skinny people can’t really do much about it..
Thighs touching don’t have anything wrong with them, but people can have their tastes…he didn’t say they were disgusting or anything… For example, I don’t like men with a round belly, I’m not saying there is anything wrong with them, but for me they are just too soft, I want abs..personal taste, not the same as criticizing
Omg fluffykins, that is where you are confused NO ONE IS SAYING THIGHS THAT TOUCH IS BAD. End of story. We are simply STANDING UP FOR OURSELVES because apparently some people think only people that are freaks have thighs that don’t touch! It’s NOT a big deal, if some guy likes his girl to be tiny, LET HIM BE, it’s his frickin’ preference.
I never said it was bad if a woman’s thighs DID touch in fact NO ONE said any such thing. There were more comments bashing woman and things like “red flags” about how a guy could like a woman whose thighs don’t touch. Some guys like huge asses, some like tall, some like, thin, some like more padding than others.
This whole debate sparked in the first place because their were comments stating basically implying “people with thighs that don’t touch are unhealthy”. And all of you that commented kept contradicting yourselves, you would first say “well it’s completely fine if a guy likes a thin girl, it’s his choice…” But then by the end of the comment it was something negative like “so what do all the bigger women do then if a guy likes a thinner gir!?l”.
I hope you finally understand that we are simply standing up for the thinner women because no one else seems to be doing so.
Sharen, I have noticed, but it is a different thing it is a vain front put out by the media, its nit picking, its like celebs that endorse Animal rights for a day and then wear fur. For example all the magazines that introduce curvy models to make a point, for one issue and then its gone, they know that size matters because thin is in and they need it to sell. The pressure to be thin is out there in everyday life, its thrown at you,everything that is in your daily life such as film, TV, advertising, any shop you set foot into any article you read if there is a women who you are to perceive as beautiful , she is not a size 10 or 12 (UK) she is much slighter. Yes women who are too thin get it too at the moment. People are trying to look concerned, but the proof is out there curvy is not fashionable at the moment.
I was just trying to explain why if someone says they prefer thin girls they’re deemed an ass and if they say I love me a curvy girl its ok. Its not OK to differentiate but hopefully it explains some reasoning behind.
Hey Alias,
You may want to learn some reading comprehension. As to your comments regarding my post, you and I are obviously on a different level and that’s fine. I’m not going to argue over it. Casey seems like a genuinely nice girl and as long as she’s happy with her boyfriend, great…I still stand by what I said.
Kae, I understand your point of view, and it’s fine to be on different levels. I think it’s great that everyone has a different perception because that is what makes the conversations more interesting.
You guys are arguing over something silly.
1. Who cares if her boyfriend only likes women who have thighs that don’t touch. You aren’t going to meet him, you aren’t going to sleep with him. It doesn’t matter. I know most people get relied up at this crap because they feel rejected. People get mad when they feel rejected.
2. As for this garbage about men who like thin women being insulted-Guess what everyone in this country gets insulted. Men who like big women are called chubby chasers etc. etc. Grow some skin. No one can do right in this world. You’ll always be knocked for something. You might as well get over it now.
I would dump someone with that closed perception of beauty.I wouldnt have children with that kind of guy.
yeah but women naturally have at least something there. i’m very skinny as well and although i’m a size 2 i have a little bit of inner thigh fat. that gap is NOT healthy.
this makes me so f***ing sad/angry…I used to look exactlyyyyy like this….
If anything I think having muscle mass saves her from looking scary skinny and makes her look healthier. But she is indeed veryyyyyy thin and usually I am not a fan of the super skinny look but since she has nice toned muscles I like it. On some pics her knees appear very scrawny and sharp though but in other angles they are not that bad so I dont know….she is a beautiful woman though !
I didn’t say they have to rub to be healthy she’s not apple shape so when there is huge space like that and you can see her ribs even thou she’s standing and she has baby I’m not saying that she should be fat but she even said that she struggled to lose the baby fat and her tummy was he hardest part
Yikes. I don’t know about you, but the more I see of this girl, the less I find her attractive. Thighs should at least kinda, sort touch. That gap is nasty and her stomach? Just proof that she is skinny fat.
Okay, maybe not skinny fat but you can tell she’s had a baby- finally!
Um, those are abs. If you are commenting on the skin creasing in the picture where she’s rowing, then you’re really just sort of mean.
Not being mean, just saying that you can see the fat on her belly for the first time ever!
Well you gotta admit, that girl is IN SHAPE. Obviously she is very skinny, but I don’t think she looks emaciated. She just looks like a naturally thin girl who diets and exercises on top of that.
I honestly don’t know if it’s all in her genes or if she actually works out- i could see it either way.
agree
Er, not sure what to say. She really does look rather skinny and gaunt in some of these pics, but I can’t really determine whether or not this is eating disorder valley or just skinny-minnie-lane. I’ve always been skinny (but now with booty and boobie lol), so I know what it’s like to have people say you should eat something when you probably held up the Burger King drive-through five minutes ago and they probably had a salad. But I really don’t know if this is how she is normally. I’ve seen her with a lot more weight on her, so i don’t know if this is her natural weight. Beats me. The only thing I DO know is what I like when I look at a Vicki Secret model. I’d like to see her with a little more meat. I think it’s more appealing. But I will give her kudos for being in shape. She be working out ya’ll :-p
Ha- I like your response. More meat would be a good thing on her- especially between those thighs!
i agree, on the first picture u can see her pone sticking out of her inner thigh i’ve never seen such thing lol
HAHAHA PURE COMEDY! I LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO SAY OHHHH SHE’S ALWAYS BEEN VERRRRRY THIN PUHHLEASE. I’VE FOLLOWED HER CAREER FOR YEARS AND YES SHE’S BEEN THIN BUT HONEY NEVVVERRR THIS THIN. LIKE SOMEONE COMMENTED BEFORE ON ANOTHER POST I THINK SHE’S PUT WAY TO MUCH PRESSURE ON HERSELF POST PREGNANCY. And I really don’t know why because Heidi post pregnancy always looks like how she looked before pregnancy NEVER thinner. To be completely honest she’s starting to look a little horse faced and her body looks like a pre-pubescent boy. This is in no way shape or form her natural weight. It looks a little contrived. Before in Vicky shoots and in real life you could never see her bones. I think some part of this is probably because in model terms not real life I think she’s up there in age I believe she’s 27 or 28 and she now realizes that she has to compete with the younger girls. And also maybe she saw the 2007 fashion show and saw that her thighs were a little thicker and went crazy…..Nevertheless nice bum but that Cheetah bikini GottS TO GO!!
wow no im not jealous before you say anything but this girl is not screaming hot to me right now. for some reason i feel uncomfortable looking at her. i dont care if she did this the healthy way, like someone said camera adds pounds so shes even smaller in person and the gaps and bones just make it scary looking at her :/ bring back adriana!!
God, she has such an amazing body structure…the shape of her legs, hips, and shoulders. She truely has an amazing body.
But she is a little too thin now, for my taste.
I think she’s trying to stay fit and not flabby, and that requires a lot more exercize after having a child. Unfortunately, when you’re already thin and exercizing a lot, you wind up being too thin.
I’d like to see her with 10 pounds more, so she can take advantage of her body structure.
ditto but I would say 15 but not a pound more
short chicken legs :-s scary skinny everywhere
She has lost weight
Ugh, enough about thighs should be this and that.
My thighs don’t touch at all. And if I sit like her in that pic (crossing legs and jutting out my bum towards the back) I also have a gap. It’s the position, not some deformity. And I’m nowhere near as skinny as her, and my hips are very curvy. They’re just naturally wide, from the bone structure, and in people like me, thighs NEVER touch, unless you get to overweight level.
From what I’ve seen of Alessandra, on photoshoots, she contorts A LOT. She’s very skinny and not very curvy so she uses her flexibility to create the curves. This results in some pretty weird angles.
Yep… it’s all in the photos. Same with a naturally larger person, if they contort their bodies in weird positions they are going to get rolls in places. But just because this happens it doesn’t mean this is how we see them on the streets or anything. And in Ale’s case, being very thin, if she contorts her body she ends up looking even thinNER. The proof is in the shot of her wearing shorts, she looks like a regular thin girl, she doesn’t look “disgusting” or scary or anything.
I’m wide hipped and when I was in shape, my thighs touched.
way too thin
omg I don’t have words for those who consider Alessandra Ambrosio’s body as perfect. I find her very very unaesthetic because I don’t like the combination of bones & muscles. But – taste differs.
What’s the opposite of a backhanded compliment? Whatever it is people on this website sure do a lot of it.
i never thought i’d say this about anyone’s body, but ewwwww.
although, kudos to her for being able to maintain her body, looks like HARD work!!!
She obviously works out. + 10lbs of fat she would look fab. How’d she look pregnant? I’ve never seen any photos of her then. Did she gain much?
She gained 30 pounds and she looked cute if you cant find pics google go on youtube because holywoodtv has video of her pregnant.
I can’t understand how anybody can think this woman is beautiful… She looks scary!
She doesnt LOOK CUTE, she doesnt look BEATUTIFUL!
SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE NEEDS A BURGER OR 2! haha!
people who compliment this body, has serious issues! come on!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed.
I’m torn…I think she’s too thin but I still think she looks great. Especially in the white bikini.
All I can say is that I am soo happy I don’t find this body type appealing or beautiful in the least. It would be so much pressure if this was the ideal I held myself up to.
one word? Perfection.
Her body is okay. Yes it’s toned and slim, but it’s too harsh for my taste. I prefer a little more curve and softness.
I know I’ll be in the minority here, but it’s her face that really bothers me and I actually have a hard time looking at it. I always have. I don’t know what exactly it is about it, but her facial features scare me!
WHY IN THE VS PHOTOS SHE HAVE BREAST AND IN THE OTHERS-CASUAL PICTURES SHE DONT HAVE.?
ALL THE PICTURES IN VS ITS FAKE.
Any guesses on her stats?
I herd she was like 5.7″ but im not 100%. If she is around 5.7″ I would say she probably weighs around 120. Some people say she weighs around 113 but I highly doubt that. I know what 113 looks like on someone at that height and ally has far to much muscle to weigh that much at her height. Anyway…
P.S Im pretty sure 113 would be under weight for ally and imo she does’nt look underweight. Very thin yes but definitely not underweight with the muscle she has.
Ale is 5’10″ I’m pretty sure… My best guess would be 120-125…Maybe less though. All I know is she looks good! Scale weight numbers don’t really mean anything to me aesthetically.
Yeah me neither. Was just trying to answer Curiouses question even though I was way off with her height lol.
she has the best body hands down. her face is pretty too but its too harsh for me
skinny Alessandra!
She is sooo skinny and that’s a fact, not a personal opinion. I was scared when I saw that pictures, honestly. And I’m not fat or something or jealous as some of u would say. Just look at the pictures. She seems so fragile, almost sick. I can’t see her photos and think that this is healthy. This can’t be health. Not an anorexic because she has muscle? Can’t change my mind or convice me the opposite. I can’t just look at these photoss and say that this what is called beautiful or think that guys like us like that.. I don’t say that she won’t have a husband or don’t know what, but…
I don’t care about bdy types, but I really think she does not have a healthy weight…
hmmm…. I feel like she’s lost a lot of weight recently… I don’t really like her body any more. +5-10 lbs would look divine on her
absolutely NOT sexy
She is very sexy. She really has a perfect body. She works very hard at it, she is very thin, toned, and in shape. You can clearly see her abs in these photos. She is not too thin at all. She also doesn’t have any obvious bones protruding which would indicate she isn’t at an unhealthy BMI.
I thought she looked fine in the first pic- too skinny for my taste but still beautiful but in the non-airbrushed/photoshopped pics… wow. She does not look good.
She looks gorgeous with the airbrushing but in real life i feel she would fall down if i poked her.. would look very, very gorgeous with maybe 10, 15 extra pounds on her.
Yuck. Those thighs are so skinny. Just look at the gap inbetween.
In the pictures with her hair down, her head actually looks abnormally big for her body. :/
With a bit more meat on her bones, she’d look great.
But judging from these pictures – I’m not a fan.
Didn’t she have a kid??? Damn, she’s hot! ha ha… I kinda wanna make her dinner tonight though!
I find the third picture from the bottom a little scary. She is very thin indeed. She seems skinnier than she was years back and I think that she looked better before. I still think that’s she is gorgeous and a great model. She’s just very skinny, that’s all. She may actually eat quite a healthy diet and exercise often to get this tiny. We have no way of knowing so we shouldn’t be so quick to say that she has an eating disorder.
Wow!, now that’s a body! I wish all women had a body like that?
in first pics she is so toned, very muscular. I think its good when models are not stick thin but also have some muscle on their body.But for me,she doesnt look feminine….
I don’t like her body… it looks too skinny. Doesn’t look very feminime.
For those who argue the space between her thighs: It all depends on how wide your hips are! My thighs do not touch, but they are not that skinny, because I have hips.
Alessandra does not have real womanly hips and still she has a VERY large space between her thighs. She has always been petite, but she has lost a serious amount of weight after the baby. She has probably become obsessed. In these photos she is also wearing makeup on her body, so in “real life” she would look worse. Not good. She is probably trying to get super-skinny legs in order to make them look longer, as they are shorter than most VS-girls.
whao! she melts my heart and billions of other guys!
hour figure/fat ladies attention: Oprah and Tyra Banks just gave you all the permission to go to gym. And are no longer using the phrases such as “Real women” and “WHAT MEN WANTS”. bcoz they are realized they are contradicting evertyhing.
They realized that a skinny/sexy girl born with vagina (double xx chromosome) is in fact a real girl, just the same way as a big boned girl born with a vagina. The difference that you need to accept is that the skinny ones looks beautiful!
So, you’re saying that hourglass shaped females are fat. Do you have an IQ of 80? An hourglass figure is about SHAPE, not weight. Get a clue and some intelligence please.
I could care less if you don’t reply to my posts. It’s probably good since you equate hourglass shaped women to being fat, which is incorrect.
EWWWW If i had to put a picture of what i would never want to be …it would be that picture. Make them all. It’s my personal opinion. I do not find and have NEVER found woman THAT ARE superrr skinny to be attractive or even Womanly.
Her thigh space is natural and when she opens her thighs you probably see like the ligament and stuff hahaha
but nevertheless many people in America ( i live in the us btw) and south america find this body type to be ” perfection” and i seriously do NOT understand and would never. ekkkk
unnatural****
Lamo! most FAT women such as beyonce, Kim K, G.LO, Tyra B, SHAKIRA , that girl who is leo now and much more are considered “Average” to PPL. Their sizes are only good for Latino countries!
So, obviously if you see a girl who is a size zero or 1, WILL CERTAINLY STAND OUT, compared to hippos above. And obviously blaming your fat genes on skinny girls!
Natasha poly, Siri Tollerød, Lily D, Gisele B, Freja Beha, Katherin M, Erin Wasson, Vlada Roslyavoka, Tiu Kuik, Tanya Dziahileva, Inguna Butane, Flavia, Bianca Balti, Kate moss (tho she has gained weight now) These girls are all what you see mostly in Europe, and they are the “average” girls you see. So, there is no HATING, the point is that when u see skinny girls nude they are sexy and hot, beefy girls are not. might i add they belong to arab/third world countries where they love to see fat things! and always focus on getting fat and taking pills! The world is advancing every nanosecond, to try to find a better way to get rid of fat. Every year most money is spend on plastic surgeries to remove fat!!!!! Not to gain them!!
Did you just call Shakira, Bar Rafaeli Tyra…etc fat?
I don’t know what’s wrong with you or where you’re from, but what I do know is that 99% of men like breasts and booty. Some may like thinner woman than others, but still the curves are necessary. The woman you listed are unheard of to men…and half of the names I recognize only from public speculation of eating disorders.
I say all of this as someone who has never been above a size 2 so don’t pull the “You’re just fat” card on me, please.
Dear “1″, it’s quite extraordinary that your parents named you “Mark”, when you are a “Romanian-American” GIRL.
The fact that you:
1. called obviously-slim celebrities “fat” and “fat piggies”
2. used at least 15 different usernames (Mark, 1, yummy, haha, nyc, linda, tatiana, danny, angela) on the site
3. pretended to be a man and a woman at the same time
4. called visitors’ healthy mindsets “skewed”
5. many, many more
… leads you directly into MODERATION from now on.
wow. mark’s a girl…*SHOCK*. but it all makes sense now. good thing that she’s been put on moderation. i stand on both sides of the spectrum (i like skinny and curvy) and i normally don’t find comments to awaken any, um, emotions in me, but this person’s comments were just making me ANGRY. point is, *yay* go versus!
I’m mark also. My only comment here was:
“Wow!, now that’s a body! I wish all women had a body like that?”
I mostly only will comment once on an article. And I am a male.
you are obviously a woman because no man in his right mind would think that that thin is sexy. or you are probaly a male virgin. i am size 4 and i think that girl is too thin
Versus, I’m totally upset right now! I just saw this comment of yours and I’m pretty shocked that I saw my user name(Angela) at it. Cause I(username Angela), I’m not Mark or I don’t know what. Does anyone else used the same user name as mine????? I don’t understand what happened and I just saw my user name in your comment on this outrageous post someone else did. I personally never have changed my user name and I just see it involved in something nasty. Can you please tell me what’s really going on here? Cause I’m afraid that someone did something that involved me and I don’t have ANY participation to this. You personally Versus might even remember several comments I have made to emphasize on the amazing purpose of this site.I
mean that it just tries to makes us all understnd that beauty comes in all shapes, colours, heights, porpotions etc.- and I have congratulated you time ago that your site is truly great for that fact. And I would never be that insulting in my life in general. I don;t like my name being involved in something that I personally haven’t done or said and as a person would never be that rude and that biased to offend somebody. In so many of MY comments, if you check, when I’m stating my opinion, in the end I mention that I don’t intend to offend ANYONE. What’s going on Versus???? Please help me and protect me here cause I don’t want people here when they see the user name Angela think that Angela is the one that changing user names. Is anyone here trying to INVOLVE me in a such a thing?? Sorry for tirying you Versus with this huge point I made, but I’m soooo sad and upset right now.. Please Versus, if it’s possible try to solve all this. I am looking forward to find out the truth.Thank you
Versus, sorry for bothering you again, but I’m very angry with this thing. (Not angry at you!) But I don’t know why MY user name is involved in something like that. If yoy just think that I have used this username, how would it be possible to call Shakira fat and in many posts about Doutzen Croes have expressed that I’m WOW with her am amazing curvy body? cause Sakira and Doutzen have very similar bodies(small boobs, toned abs and body, lovely curvy booties and hips). I’m in the very unpleasant situation to try to convince that I NEVER changed my user name or call Shakira fat!!!!!! Check it Versus, cause I feel unprotective and insulted by the person who did it. I said that I find Alessandra too thin her and I don’t personally like that thin girls. So how can I ever stated that only that bodies are nice and everyone above size 0 is fat and a pig?? Doutzen is obviously not a size 0, but a so healthy 4 or maybe 6. And I’ve stated in Doutyzen’s boby is amazing to me. So how can I state now that Shakira is a pig(oh my God..). If I was lying, I wouldn;t even bother sending these now. Or was it just a mistake you printed Versus? I also commented in this post that I find her unhealthily thin with that skinny body(cause I don’t think that it’s the best role model for young teenagers or even young women). Of course I like slim figures(like Kelly Broke’s for instance), but I adore healthy,toned,curvy bodies too. Versus, also check Doutzen and Miranda make a great team post, where I say how much Ilike Doutzen’s body cause she’s so healthy-looking(according to ”1” comment, I think that Doutzen would be considered ;;fat”, like Shakira as ”1” said. I also say how much I love the first supermodel-GIA CARANGI, DEAD DUE TO AIDS, and that she was curvy in the way ”pigs” are according to ”1”. And check the days Ver5sus- I have written these comments before today. I have many more ”proofs”-I reffer to comments I have post even long ago that they all just show one thing-that I like slim and more curvy looking girls, like Doutzen, Gia and others.
Hi Angela,
There is a misunderstanding here – please don’t worry, this issue had nothing to do with you!
This visitor initially called “Mark” used various usernames (over 15, really) when commenting on the site. One of these usernames was “angela” (without capital “A”) and all the comments were either offensive, promoting unhealthy views or simply fake. I can see (from your IP address) that you have nothing to do with this visitor, so no need to worry about anything.
Versus, thank you so much for sending me an e-mail to solve this out! I’m happy everything’s ok! I feel stupid now, cause I didn’t think that you have our e-mails so you can know who is posting a comment!(I’m just with high fever and a pretty bad headache in order to think that, ha ha!!) Can you please make a post here for the oters visitors to see it? Cause they might haven’t noticed the difference in the capital ”A” of my user name… And I don’t want to think that Iam the person who wrote all that things. If you could please do that! Thank you very much in advance!!
If my women is fat it means she is out of balance. She can not control herself in some way or another. She will not be able to keep your life in balance and harmony. A skinny girl on the other hand is more humble and can restrict herself more than heavy one.
Skinny girls in my experience are nicer people. This is my personal experience. I have traveled and lived a lot and fat girls tend to be bossy and controlling and argumentative.
A thin girl is usually more interesting and for my a lot more attractive. People say generally they are more sensual, and being fit is just healthy. These are some of the reasons skinny girls are desirable.
No, obsessive control over one’s weight is a sign of severe control issues. Most women who severely restrict their calories are bitchy and controlling.
And there is something in between skinny and fat. Many women fall into this category rather than one of the extremes. I’d say a woman who eats healthy and exercises and treats her body right is the one that lives her life in balance.
Loads of contradictions in one post, congratulations. Troll much?
The bitter truth hurts that’s all i can say
i agree with you! i hate how many fat people there are in the united states (i live here). they’re bitter and mean because i refuse to be fat like them. i may not be tall, but i’m less than 100 pounds at five foot two. (removed by admin) scowl at me constantly but guess what? the guys like me better because i’m thin! i’m so embarrassed to be american with all the people we have here.
Interesting article! I’m a Romanian-American girl living in the USA, and here my size is zero, so I’m considered to be “frighteningly thin”. My mother (from Romania) is very thin as well, size four (And she thinks she’s “put on so much weight”, haha). But we’re just healthy people – we eat well and exercise and it’s just normal for us to do so. People in the USA talk about how American culture is so oppressed by the media’s “Thin image”, and that Hollywood and fashion and television want everyone to be thin, thin, thin! Fat girls act like they have such a problem, and either express deep emotional issues with their size, or they get so mean and bossy and act like they’re just better than everyone else. There is the American stereotype of the fat girl being picked on in school and ridiculed and made fun of for all of her young adult life. But, being in high school here as a thin girl is so much harder than being a fat girl. I was constantly facing rumors that I had an eating disorder, when really I eat full healthy meals! It’s just not crap innutritious food. I even had my school counselors and teachers trying to get me into an intervention program!? It was ridiculous. Even now that I’m twenty, when I go in public to shop, especially for clothes, people stare at me and even make comments loud enough so I can hear them. “Oh my god, that girl is so skinny!” “She’s a twig!” I literally hear some snide remark from a fat girl every time I go out. But not only do these girls act snide, they push and push for a response. i don’t understand it. But they always want me so badly to react. I’ve been told by many American men and women that they find thin girls like me “unrealistic” and “unattractive”. I feel like I deal with much more than fat girls do in American society. No one is pressuring them to be thin, because fat is acceptable and even embraced. But everyone is pressuring thin girls like me to be fat.
and might i add girls(here in us) are usually dull as doorknobs, empty as drums, and shallow as a puddle on the pavement.
I have no anger except for those who give out the wrong information. I am a size 4-6. If you don’t think that’s thin, well, you have a problem. Maybe that’s why you believe in fairy tales? Have a great day!
her legs dont meet. legs are the most beautiful part in a womans body, and if they dont meet thats just sick.
hahaha how crazy some people on this site are, at first it was disturbing and now actually is very funny!
Hahaha I know tequilla! I have never seen such epic trolling on this site in my life! Mark and his/her/it’s many incarnations have taken over this post! :s
