Holy God. That's a real (mostly) unphotoshopped human being?! Because that looks like someone getting more than their kidneys stolen and left in a bathtub- that looks like too many vital organs are gone for anyone to still be *living* let alone functioning. The fact that someone's clearly enabling/supporting this woman doing this to herself is appalling to me.

Quick, someone lock her up under medical supervision and start pumping calories, pizza, donuts, frosties, Hell carrots and celery sticks (anything really) into her. Also, may this picture NEVER be shown to any young girl ANYWHERE in the world and told this is attractive.

*is totally horrified*

http://articles.nydailynews.com/2012-02-06/news/31031952_1_barbie-dolls-waist-mattel-doll

This article about Ioana seems to offer her point of view, I think it's pretty harsh to quickly decide she's horrifying, I mean clearly she has a very unusual shape but it's not necessarily because she's dying to be skinny.

But if somewhere society's holding this woman up a physical ideal/role model then, yeah, I still feel like the mentality it's thrusting on young women is horrifing even if this woman didn't choose to look this way. Your average human being is just not shaped like this- bad enough models/etc have ribs removed to make their waists smaller.

absolutely this

How can anyone say she doesn't choose to look that way when it's obvious she's strapping on a corset?

Yes. Thank you. (I think it even said she was in that article.) If she dislikes it so much, why would she be playing it up?

Also, if that's what 20in looks like on someone who's 5' 7" (aside, isnt that "short" for the high fashion industry's crazy standards?), someone please tell me that Scarlett O'Hara was closer to 5' or I think I'll have to totally redo my mental picture of her lol.

nayrt

"But if somewhere society's holding this woman up a physical ideal/role model then, yeah, I still feel like the mentality it's thrusting on young women is horrifing ..."

Does anyone look to that woman as a physical ideal, though? I mean, that's beyond just thin or skinny or unhealthily-skinny. Obviously Barbies have out-of-whack proportions and thinness like that, and some cartoon characters... but they also aren't real and can therefore support the caricaturized exaggerations of the feminine form. The women who make covers of magazines or get named the hottest, despite all the additional Photoshopping they get to enhance their natural assets, don't come out looking like that (and if they do, it's usually ridiculed on a blog dedicated to Photoshop fails).

I'm just saying, if anyone's holding that exact particular figure up as an actual ideal, then they're in a minority.

I guarantee you that there is a girl out there right now - maybe even one on this thread - who is Googling pictures of this woman and comparing herself to her unrealistic proportions. Even if they ARE in a minority, there are a shit ton of self-conscious women and girls with really low self-esteem who are looking at this picture and thinking that this is what they should be looking like.

I find it very sad that in this article (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20568120,00.html) she said her husband was the first person who ever saw her as attractive.

She says she's naturally thin. Plus she tightlaces with a corset which makes her waist even smaller. Contrary to what she looks like, she checks out as a healthy person according to her doctor. In an interview she said that she eats on a regular basis, but she has a small stomach so it's like a natural version of a gastric bypass.

"may this picture NEVER be shown to any young girl ANYWHERE in the world and told this is attractive"

I agree that we shouldn't hold up extreme thinness as the be all end all of beauty standards because not everyone is or can be that thin. Parents need to teach their kids that body acceptance and good health is more important than being a certain size, instead of hiding them, or hiding the media from them.

I didn't know anything about her before this secret, but thanks for the information. And I agree with your conclusion, too.
