Today, I was chosen out of 64 women to model for the catalog of a new clothing store. Just when my self-confidence took a dramatic boost, I looked at the evaluation sheet. I was picked due to attributes such as my "extra large figure and average face" to make below average women feel beautiful. FML

It sometimes makes me sad that anything above a size 6 is considered "plus size" in the modeling world. And I highly doubt that you're ugly, OP (as your name suggests). The modeling world (and society) can really be very cruel. So sorry! :(

Beats being picked cause of anorexic figure

It depends on how tall you are and also how old you are...Sizes 1-3 is perfectly natural and healthy for some heights, but for others it can be a bit on the underweight side. Some girls are naturally skinny, which is great for them! I have nothing against that, obviously. But others really do have to starve themselves in order to be that size, which sucks. :/ I had a friend who was a runway model in New York...She was one of the few models without an eating disorder. She was skinny through exercise and healthy eating, whereas her roommates (also models) were either bulimic or anorexic. I'm not saying that all models have eating disorders, but the reality is that some really do.

Lizzombie horrifies me, I keep seeing fat pouring out of a tiny lace dress now.

It's your body, you live in it and see it everyday. Surely you had to be aware of your appearance especially considering you're trying to model. Either you didn't do your research and auditioned not knowing what they were looking for, or you auditioned with the hope they would play to your ego by stating you were much too attractive for the position. What's worse than that is now that you've gotten the job, you expect people to tell you how horrible your life is despite the fact that you beat out 64 other women who would have been ecstatic to get it.

Well Hopefully you have a nice personality then. Unless you're a model for jerks too.

In all fairness OP, these days a size 13 is considered extremely over weight in mainstream media but in all actuality its completely normal and beautiful

I don't think that their idea of "large" and "average" has anything much to do with reality. Please realize this and get all the $$$$ out of this gig that you can. I strongly suspect that if I saw you in person, I would think you were very attractive.

Take the money and run (on a treadmill)

23# that's not my problem, not every woman that is a BBW is a overly obese nightmare or a trainwreck like Rosie o Donnel. so buck up and quit being a bigit ...there is also fugly skinny girls out there too..

Are you talking to me? Because it makes no sense that you're replying to #23. It would help if you hit that adorable little thing called the REPLY BUTTON. And regardless of who you're talking about, neither of us is a "bigit". Lmao.

LMAO... "bigit" wtf? I sense a lot of sexual tension between you two. You should hook up: BBW and skinny chick. They could make a cartoon from it, like the new Yogi and BooBoo.

Lmao. Yogi and Booboo. xD Eh, not my type. I like girls like Rose McGowan. Sweet, sweet Rose.
