Too skinny. Yuck.

ewwww....when did it become fashionable to be able to count your ribs? ick....

Yes, too thin.

definitely too thin.

Those women are definitely too thin... they look very unhealthy and unattractive. Why would you want to look like that? =/

Those girls are not attractive at all in my opinion. Curves are sexy. Ribs sticking out everywhere is not.

The first girl is pretty skinny (and not in a good way), and her pose doesn't help... lifting up your arms like that makes your ribs stick out even more. 

The models on the Victoria's Secret swimsuit section are much healthier looking in my opinion.

in that first one it might be the pose.  my ribs do that when I lift my arms up.  you can't see them when I am standing normally.

Nevertheless, that's not a very good picture to be promoting.  I'm sure that model had many other pics that weren't so... alarmingly thin appearing.

Yucky.  If people like that look (within a healthy weight!) then good for them but I still think soft curves and the confidence to rock 'em is the sexiest thing ever.

i mean, i know models are supposed to be thin...but that just seems bad...especially to be promoting that for teenagers :( no wonder self esteem is messed up.

I would like to see her with her arms down as that would allow for a better judgement. Her BMI looks to me to be in the 16 range. Add a few pounds to get her to the 18-20 BMI range and she'd be fine.

Some women have very low BMIs, and thats just the way their body goes...  I cant say that shes too thin, although I dont think shes particularly attractive.  Ive known women who just are thin, thin their entire lives...  Doesnt make them unattractive, just unattractive to some....  Off the record though, I would be sitting on her feeding her Beef-a-roni out of fear...

definitely FAR too thin. and this in a catalogue geared towards teens. fabulous :/

I thought the other models looked okay, but that one is exposing way too much rib!

Pretty Normal, and toned. 

you can count my ribs, but doesn't mean i'm too thin.. just means my rib cage sticks out!

Eew.  Many of the models on that site look bony even standing normally (look at their ribs!).  Way too thin.

i personally don't like that body type.
