Shalom or Leticia?
This post has been spawned by a curiousity derived from a conversation I had earlier this week regarding the way the industry has been heading. Back in the 90's there was the herion chic look . As we know that's died out. Within the last few years the industry has slowly but surely been heading more toward models with curvy figures. Here we have two high fashion models. Shalom Harlow  and Leticia Casta  Both stunning yet in completely different ways. But it's not what us models think, it's down to the photographer. Has curvaceous replaced heroin chic? Jan 06 06 07:37 pm Link Curvaceous is "in" because most of the US female population is (to be politically correct) curvier. About 15 lbs curvier than when Shalom ruled the catwalk. Whatever happened to Shalom? Her mouth was a work of art. That is a crappy photo of Shalom up there.  mjr. Jan 06 06 07:40 pm Link Marcus J.

I like my high fashion models to be skinny clothes hanger types. Jan 06 06 07:44 pm Link Susi wrote: Ah Linda. She had great teeth and a fab smile. I've always loved the waif look...Which is probably why I've always been on a diet :X Jan 06 06 07:46 pm Link Leticia and Shalom both look good...but for some reason that Leticia pic is making her more intriguing to me than that Shalom pic....but mjr. did bring out a great headshot there...

Jan 06 06 08:34 pm Link I think .. it's getting "meatier" but the majority still is very slim and very tall  Jan 06 06 11:26 pm Link Jan 06 06 11:35 pm Link Either way it started in the 60's with models like Twiggy. Look at models from the 40's and 50's, alot more curves than even today. Jan 07 06 12:03 am Link Leticia...oh wow wow. She was the first woman I ever lusted after, and that body, she made me proud to have the build I do, something realistic and beautiful I could aspire to. Nothing is wrong with thinness, but screw heroin chic, it's unattractive and unheathy. Jan 07 06 03:00 am Link Still in love with Leticia Jan 07 06 03:03 am Link Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta Leticia Casta  Jan 07 06 03:28 am Link The "REAL" reason why models are getting curvier is because the "AVERAGE" dress size in these FAT United States is . . . 14 !!! That's AVERAGE! Holy SHIT! We live in the fattest country in the world! Not only because of McDonalds, but because the USA is on this Political Correct state of mind that it's OK to love yourself if you are FAT! Fat is as Fat does, don't sugar coat it! By accepting "FATTNESS" in America, it allows the nation to get even lazier and fatter. Let's be honest, most models on MM would die if they were a size 14...

(Although many 'models' on here aren't quite a size 4 either *wink* hehe) Jan 07 06 05:01 am Link Shalom was/is one of my all-time favorites. Few compare to her.

If I had to pick which one to shoot with for art I'd go for Leticia Casta. It's the eyes. For a paid gig, Shalom Harlow, the body structure sells the clothes and Laticia needs a bra. Jan 08 06 11:15 am Link Hamza wrote: Oh give me a break. A size 14 isn't fat. I work with plus models all the time, and what you're saying is just goofy. Take for example the woman in my avatar, who is also found here: https://modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic_id=4378a66dc4ac0.

Ranum wrote: I love both pics for completely different reasons....she is just gorgeous Jan 09 06 05:02 pm Link I adore Shalom. I think she is exquisite. I never thought of her as "heroin chic" though... even if she did rock that time period... Leticia is gorgeous too, just in a different way. She is more soft/sensual, whereas Shalom is more sexy/mysterious (in my opinion). Thats why it's such a beautiful thing that different people have their own unique qualities. Jan 09 06 05:15 pm Link And, bodies aside for the moment, they both have stunning, but different, faces. And that is far more rare than finding a skinny girl or a chunky girl or a girl with/without boobs. It is why we know them. It is why they worked soooo much. Faces make icons, not bodies.
