The self-proclaimed girl with the world’s smallest waist is trying out for the new season of ANTM (America’s Next Top Model) and she just might be a shoe-in for the finals.
Ann, the 6ft wannabe model, can’t be any bigger than a size -4 (yes, that’s a negative 4) but seems to be proud of her svelte figure.
During her introduction to Tyra and the other judges Mr. Jay goes up and puts his hands around Ann’s waist and can practically touch his fingers. Eww.
At the end of the clip, Tyra proclaims her love for the contestant but many are concerned that women who are too thin on TV send the wrong message to kids.
I’ve always been a big believer in not commenting on a woman’s weight. As long as they seem relatively healthy, there’s no reason for me – or anyone else for that matter – to tell them what they can or cannot do.
At some point, though, small becomes too small and - at that point - the person should not be rewarded for their size but encouraged to get help. I think Ann is too small and shouldn’t be allowed on the show until she gains at least 15 pounds. Please don’t get me wrong or take my comments the wrong way as I would say the same about a heavier person if I thought they were sending the wrong message as well. Fortunately, all of the women Tyra has chosen as full-figure models have been gorgeous and incredibly healthy looking.
What do you think of Ann’s tiny frame? Should she have been picked as one of the finalists?
She’s thin and she’s beautiful, she’s not beautiful BECAUSE she’s thing. Grow up people, big is beautiful, thin is beautiful. If you think your bum looks big in those pants – it probably does, so do something about it – don’t throw rocks at some girl because her bum doesn’t look big.
I do not see what the fuss is about as my wife had a waist under 12 inches at 23 yrs old when we got married as her dresses were from the childrens shop only lenthened at 24yrs old she had her first child and never looked back WHY ALL THE FUSS she is now in her 60s but larger in size [16]
She needs a cheesesteak! She looks fraile.
and to think that the camera is supposed to add 10 pounds…
I wonder if her hair has started falling out yet….
For Crissake, why don’t these negative cretins, give it a rest. Who cares if the girl has an 18 inch waist. That’s fantastic. I would love mine to be 18 inches. Why shouldn’t Tyra Banks comment if she wants to. These negative people have nothing better to do than criticize what other people do or say. Get a life!
Ann is beautiful, no doubt. My concern is her health – as a former model in my teens/20′s, my low weight was 97lbs at 6′ tall. Way to low – I had so many health issues directly related to my weight and years later, I still have some lingering health issues. I’d also worry about young fans of ANTM who might think that this is how they should look – a look with potentially deadly consequences.
Just because you’re thin, doesn’t mean you aren’t beautiful. Some people are naturally thin; not everyone can be fatasses. Ann personifies an ideology that is much bigger than her weight: awkward is beautiful, different is good. THAT is why she’s a front runner, idiots.
I don’t think she is insanely thin, it’s just her natural frame
I don’t think she’s anorexic. I know this might sound weird but she looks normal, she does not look unhealthy. it looks NATURAL on her.
My brother is the exact height and is extremely skinny. He has a high metabolism and doesn’t gain weight fast. Ann looks to me like she’s the same. if you watched the full episode she mentions both of her parents are over 6′ and so are her siblings. so it’s hereditary for her to look like this.
she’s actually like that, because it’s in her family to be that skinny and that tall. She’s not anorexic and she eats just fine. Annamaria, who was eliminated in the first round, is however, too skinny and is dieting herself the wrong way and definitely needs some help. Ann is alright and is totally healthy. So there’s totally nothing wrong with her, she’s beautiful and it’s a hereditary thing!
I’m sorry but there is no such thing as a person being naturally that thin. There are those who are naturally thin, and naturally underweight, but NO ONE naturally is THAT underweight. I too am 5’11″ and I used to be 95 lbs and I modeled at that weight. I lost the weight because I have a severe digestive disorder that was causing my body not to digest my food properly. I was on medication to try to control the health issues but I kept loosing the weight. My doctor’s were telling me I was about a month away from death, while my modeling agency was telling me I was fantastic, I never booked more shows in my life. What does that tell you?? We are so used to seeing deadly thin women on our runways that we have lost all perspective on what naturally thin looks like.
Well first of all. Just because she’s skinny doesn’t mean she’s doing diets and starving herself okay? Some people are skinny for metabolic reasons, okay? Ever thought of that? Jeez, don’t make such a huge fuss about her weight or appearance. It’s none of your business.
Um yes, urmom, it IS our business along with everyone else’s the minute she decided to go on National TV.
Ann is beautiful no doubt about that. It’s true that being thin like her send out wrong messages to kids but for all you people who dont know, and who did’nt watch the whole cycle 15, Ann is very healthy and eats well.
She just happened to have a very fast metabolism and happens to be very tall at the same time.
The girl who was very thin at cycle 15 was out on the first elimination
Lets face it, people enjoy looking at beautiful women that are thin, not fat. In fact, it is genetically inbred in men to be more attracted to thinner woman. That is because women that are smaller in size have easier pregnancies and deliveries as well as able to care for the children better and the housework. This is something that goes back millions of years. Come on we all know that it is healthier to be thin and it makes sense that we would be attracted to the ideal person which is thin, healthy, vivacious, and active and happy. Because when you look good you feel good and when you feel good you look good.
“At some point, though, small becomes too small and – at that point – the person should not be rewarded for their size but encouraged to get help.”
I find this comment to be utterly disgusting and NOT BECAUSE OF HER TINY WASTE. But because of the attitude of this magazine. I’m exactly 6ft tall, mousy brown hair blue eyes and weigh 116pounds. According to BMI I am extremely under weight for my height. I eat more then the average person, I don’t have a petuitory gland problem and have been the same height and weight since I was 15 I am now 21.
I can eat 3 big macs from maccas and still be hungry, or what about a family size potato and gravy two pieces of chicken, family sized chips and a large bottle of mountain dew and I don’t put on weight. I look extremely skinny. I hate being this skinny and have tried almost everything to put on weight but I can’t. My waist is probably the same size or smaller then hers. Look up marfans syndrome… because that’s what causes me to be skinny and to all you people out there who think its disgusting and not natural… stop being jealous and start excepting people for who they are. I got shit at school because of magazines like this publicizing eating disorders and because of it I hate the way I look and have an anxiety disorder from all the bulling I was given as a kid. Who gives you the right to put at someone skinny and say “oh she must have an eating disorder” when you haven’t even talked to her or asked her why she is sooo skinny. There are hundreds of dieseases and syndromes and disorders in this world that cause people to not put on weight. You may think I’m lucky, because I’ll never have to go on a diet but in truth I’m not lucky at all because marfan syndrome causes heart problems, eye problems, problems to do with having kids. So really on top of all those problems we already have we really shouldnt have to deal with your bullying and horrible comments. Good on her for standing up there and being herself. She should be damn proud of herself, finally there will be someone up there showing the world that its ok to be however you are. Why cant we just be happy with who we are for once.
OBVIOUSLY you didn’t watch the show. She was eating deep fried double stuffed Oreo cookies. She doesn’t have an eating disorder and did not promote eating disorders. The reason she is so thin is because of the way she’s made. I think women of all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Even skinny women.
Everyone who felt the need to comment negatively about Ann needs to watch the show. She was very nice throughout and def does not have an eating disorder. The girl with the eating disorder was eliminated right away and told BY TYRA to gain weight. Don’t talk about things you have no idea about.
