Claudia Schiffer, who is underweight herself, has said in an interview with Germany’s Bunte magazine, that models are now too skinny to be attractive.

"It doesn’t really look good any more. Fashion looks good on thin models, but when you look at today’s models you can not help but think there is something wrong. They are way too thin. It is only bones that stick out. Models have always been thin. But today, they are even thinner, which is unbelievable. I was one of the fattest when I started. Ever since I started having children, I can eat whatever I want. I eat chocolate almost every day and drink whole milk so that I don’t lose any more (weight). When media started writing that I looked too thin and ill, I went to the doctor. He said I was healthy. I didn’t gain weight after the pregnancies. I hope it stays like that."

Finally a model with her head over her shoulders! It is hard to find someone who admits that being too skinny is neither healthy nor attractive, so I’m glad Claudia has taken the leap. Good for her!
