How thin is too thin?



I'm sure that everyone knows this famous model reality called America’s Next Top Model ; I'm one of the fan of this show; The picture show I show you is the latest cycle which is cycle 15.


Here's the thing..





well...her name is Ann and some claim that she has the smallest waist in the world. (no doubt about that). Mrs. Jay can put his hands around it and have his fingers touch.There are lots of feedback about this unhealthy body that Tyra Banks herself appeared to be supporting this kind of body. 


If u watch this link I post you'll see Tyra said “there’s something about her that I like!”
Can u imagine what the feedback would be? YES! They all doubt if Tyra wants the girls to be this thin; and how Tyra's attitude would effect the young dreamy girl who want to be a model. Will they try to have this kind of unhealthy body?

Tyra already stood out and wrote something on her blog which is...



First and foremost, I want to give a personal shout-out to each and every one of you who spoke out and took a stance on the Top Model Cycle 15 teaser trailer that was released last week.  My life’s mission is to expand the definition of beauty—EVERY kind of beauty! This is one of the reasons I created America’s Next Top Model just 8 years and 15 Cycles ago…since then we’ve challenged all different stereotypes of beauty with race, weight, height and beyond.  The overwhelming response sparked by the Top Model trailer shows that the overarching message of the show—to accept and celebrate all types of beauty—is reaching and affecting our viewers.  I knew I had to address this once I realized that this message was on the line.
On behalf of the entire Top Model team, I am truly sorry for the style in which the Top Model promo clip was presented. Like all of my projects, I am extremely involved in “America’s Next Top Model” from casting the final contestants to conceptualizing the episode challenges, but with all the work and details that go into producing a TV show, I can’t be 100 places at once (although I try), but it’s just impossible for me to see everything that’s created before it’s released to all of you!  That being said I can assure you—that cut has been removed from the CW airwaves, and the message conveyed in that video was NOT intentional, and is certainly not Top Model- or Tyra-approved.  The Top Modelteam is extremely talented and truly enjoys creating fun, engaging promos and episodes for you. The team really wants to entertain you, while promoting and embracing multiple forms of beauty. Sometimes in the quest to have fun in a limited amount of time, especially in a 20-second promo, our overarching message can be misconstrued, and in this case it most certainly was.



But my point is what the PR gonna deal with this situation? Is Tyra's statement gonna work? Do they gonna believe what Tyra wrote on her blog? (personally I do LOL)
Is this one of the way they try to promote their show? etc.

  1. yeah i watched it too! i'm kind of believe that she sincerely said that, but i also think this is a way to promote their show. It's like u did a bad thing and u apologize for it and then u become more famous

  2. that girl looks absolutely disgusting and i cant understand how anyone wants to look like that or how it is attractive. the human body is not naturally that way and Tyra screwed up by saying there is something about Ann that she likes... because she should be pointing out immediately that she looks unhealthy. Anyway Top Model is so boring and repetitive now that I find the show's purpose to be irrelevant and somewhat lost in direction.
