I know that Karolina is a big supermodel, but I never really got her appeal? To me, she's not much more than a horse on stilts to be brutally honest. Could any fans please explain the reason behind her success?

There is one thing I understood about the modelling world:
it's not so much about how much beautiful you are but which contact and friendship you build and support you receive from key people in the industry. Obivously if you have that particular face in addition to being tall and skinny enough it helps, but when I see the success of, say Sigrid Agren or Arizona Muse who have nothing for themselves, I think some people really must like them.

Look at Sigrid, on the catwalk she is stiff and has the face of a zombie. She exudes nothing and has a bland face. Yet she has been very successful, runway and campaign-wise.

yess true regarding arizona.. but sigrid is drop dead gorgeous, it almost makes me uncomfortable tbh lol. karolina isn't pretty imo, all the 'contact' she has is sporting a horsey grin once in a while, so all she's bringing to the table are long legs?
man, what an effed up world :P

I don't agree with you on Sigrid at all ;). It's all very subjective. Some people will always see something in a certain model (or person in general) that others don't even see when they're told about it.

""but sigrid is drop dead gorgeous, it almost makes me uncomfortable ""

Well it's a matter of opinion. I find her so blank, so generic...I feel like I could pass by 100 clones of Sigrid in the street, face-wise...

she's so overrated... like, i'm not gonna find that hook nose pretty, sorry.

Well....just look at that body! Esp pic 5. Her face is odd but at least it stands out. So many models look too similar to me, I like the unusual and "less-than-attractive" (by some standards) style of beauty. I think she's gorgeous AND a little horsey looking. I like unusual.

not a HUGE fan but i'm always glad to see her, esp on a runway. she's versatile and her body make ANY MESS looking good )) i will always prefer her over anorexic teens with crooked legs.
