    So hairy, scabby, bruised and skeletal legs are considered the epitome of beauty? Makes me slightly nauseous.

    This is a very human photo, IMHO. Where does the angle in the left leg come from? Was it just a matter of bad timing in the middle of a normal stride?

    Hideous!

    @crs Models don't have a normal stride. They sashay in order to look sexy, assuming you think a skeleton is sexy.

    More proof that the American obesity epidemic means less food for the people who need it most.

    It's going to take a whole lot more than that to enlarge THOSE legs. :-/

    I used to have legs like those. When I was fourteen.

    If we saw a woman with thick legs that were "So hairy, scabby, bruised.." walking down the runway we would be cheering her on. I guess when it is contrasted with tiny twig legs people make assumptions that she isn't taking care of herself.
    (I have legs that are also really thin. So I don't judge)

    Also, whoever considers those legs to be hairy... call me Sasquatch. If my hair was that light and thin I would call myself lucky and never shave.
