Spindle-shanked

Lily Donaldson is such a gorgeous model. She is kind of weird looking, like any model-of-the-moment should be, but also normal enough to be totally acceptably pretty. Whereas Sasha P. or Lily Cole could elicit converstations of "was that... an alien?" while walking down the street, Lily would just look totally normally gorgeous. Sadly, though, I am (and the whole world, too, although no one else is talking about it) watching her get skinnier and skinnier, and, as follows, less normal-looking, and less beautiful. At this point, to me, she has turned into a kind of circus spectacle. I am all for a size 0 model; I'm not one of those people lobbying for more plus-sized girls walking the runways. But it is sad to see a model whom I admire so much fall into this life-threatening pattern. Poor Lily, she was so much prettier when she had more to her.




I tried to find photos of her looking healthy to contrast these... But, I couldn't find any. It's so sad.
