Apparently they are going for the Paul Daniels after Botox look.
I don't give a damn about whos shes dating its just how on earth did she become a super model. I thought they at least required a reasonably pretty face or is it all about how skiny you are i which case shes top of the list.

By your skinny theory Amy Winehouse would be a supermodel!

[cazzz1975]

its all about the bone structure and build, it is not really about beauty. of course its horses for courses, a lot of people would see lily as a very beautiful woman.

Just like comedians aren't funny all the time or Surgeons don't perform miracles on their night out, then glamour models aren't necessarily glamourous when not working.

Here is a picture when she is working. Not my type, but I am sure many will like.

But they are supposed to be a selection of the most beautiful women in the world.
But there u go.

[cazzz1975]

she cannot be too unsightly judging by her love life

I think it's all about earnings

Not my type either - pretty in a frock but all those boney ribs euuch!

[tigerlily11]

Oh her. Crikey what a difference a computer makes.
I am well aware of all of that, But then I can't hand on heart site any really good looking models at all these days.
Come to think of it. I can't think of any recently.

Some people are photogenic, others are not. Some very plain people can be made to look wonderful in photos and some 'beautiful' people look much better in real life.

a model's job isn't to look good, though many do, it's to make clothes look good

[firewatch]

her face looks almost plastic in some of the shots from the link.
i think supermodels are far to overrated for my taste.

[LoftyLottie]

She looks the same type as Sophie Ellis Bexter - she looks plastic as well!

[tigerlily11]

Jno if thats the case they might be better off looking for something else. Most of what they wear a lot of women wouldn't be caught dead in.

[jno]

about 99%, I think, tigerlily. Still, the idea is that if anyone can make them look good it's Naomi Campbell or whoever.

It's the fashion industry .All to do with how the clothes hang on them ,bone structure and being photogenic etc . How good they are at sashaying down the catwalk to show off the fashion . .Wipe off the make up and some of them look like the hangover from hell but they still have that certain something that appeals to photographers and fashion designers .
I have seen pretttier girls in my High Street ...but ...they are not photogenic.And it has nothing to do with being skinny .Look at Sophie Dahl in her heyday .
It's just the look that goes with the times and the fashions of the day ...no big deal ....is it ...they are just clothes horses...
To be fair it's a short lived career anyway. Unless of course you make a lot of fuss at airports .

[ll_billym]

Hmmm, anybody care to bet whether she finishes her degree then...?

I give her less than a term.

In Gorleston??????

[gina32]

going out with bryan ferry, what a jammy bitch, he is lovely!!

[LoftyLottie]

Agreed Gina, and he's my age!! (Not that he would look at an old gal like me!)

[Robinia]

I'd never heard of her, I'm a bit out of touch with high fashion :o) but I think she's lovely. She's got one of those faces like a drawing from a Jackie mag story in the 60's. She may be doll-like but that's what a model's supposed to be isn't it, a canvas that the designers can adapt to any image?
I like Sophie E B too, very striking.

You can't win ''The Weakest Link'' if you don't know,and you'll get an incredulous Scream from A. Robinson for Not knowing.
