I think her collarbones could slice bread.

The shape and size of fashion models cannot be regulated, the head of the French couture federation has said, after models deemed too skinny were reportedly banned from the catwalk in Spain.
Didier Grumbach, president of the couture federation and chamber of haute couture, told AFP late Thursday that "everyone would laugh" if France attempted to follow suit.
Excessively-thin models have been barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported last week.
Madrid's regional government, which is co-financing the Pasarela Cibeles, has vetoed around a third of the models who took part in last year's show because they weigh too little.
"That worries me," Grumbach commented: "We are not going to regulate in tastes and colours."
"If Jean Paul Gaultier wants to take fat people for his catwalk shows, we are not going to stop him.
"When (John) Galliano puts on the catwalk people who are not pretty pretty, no one thinks to reproach him," he added.
In two weeks' time, Paris takes over the fashion baton from New York and Milan, staging a packed week of women's ready-to-wear shows for spring-summer 2007 by some of the biggest designers in the fashion world.
"It's for the designer to decide what type of model he needs... that cannot be regulated," Grumbach added.
I hate to break it to you, Monsieur Grumbach, but everyone's already laughing at France.

So apparently, in Spain, they want all their girls
a) fat
b) in Burkas.
She, in fact, DOES remind me of a cat.
I love petite, but THATS a cadaver, LOL.
Not sexy!
c)to look like real women and not concentration camp inmates.
I do, however, agree that government regulation of this sort of thing is silly.
If that model was twenty years younger, and your daughter, and child protective services saw that photo, you'd be arrested.
nope..looks like somethin walkin the streets in search of the next john so she can buy the next fix..she could put on 50 lbs and still be skinny..
Let me clarify, not for sexual content, but for parental neglect.
ce n'est pas gentil
viva La Français!
Doesn't look any different than the way soccor moms allow their 10-14 year olds dress when they go to the mall.
Not starving, not quite. She would need some mass if she were to become a good pioneer wife that could whup a bear with a stick.
A: I don't know, they keep slipping down the drain!
I guess female inmates of Concentration Camps would be all the rage in the fashion circles of gay Paris these days...
Don't worry, when the muzzies take over all of the dhimmis will lokk like this - male and female alike.
