    It's called demi-pointe, not barbie toe, people! There is a proper term for it! Learn it! Love it! Use it! #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    The minutia-obsessed, unnecessarily combative girl in me wants to point out to Marisa Miller that -rollerblade- Barbie had gigantic flat feet. How else could she wear her SNAP-ON SKATES?

    Marissa Miller must be doing something right with her barbie toe and her showing off her curves, because whenever I open a victoria's secret catalogue, I ALWAYS want to buy whatever she's posing in. It's gotten to a point where I have to ask myself "do I actually like this bra? Or do I only like it cause she's wearing it?"
    It's a problem #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    Is Marisa Miller really a "super"model? Because I've never heard of her before tonight. I think the term supermodel is being overused. I liked her as a judge though. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    My friend and I spent the majority of the episode discussing Marisa Miller's boobs. We really couldn't comprehend how she could be that skinny and have boobs that big (assuming they're real, which I think they are). We finally decided that she must have naturally ginormous boobs (like if she were bigger they would be HUGE), so this is them "small". #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    @Snowbunny: Yes! That was the first argument, where my friend was convinced there was no way real ones could be that perky with nothing but a string bikini to hold them up. But I guess that's why she's a VS Angel and everyone else isn't. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    @AlmostDream: i have a good friend who is 5'6" and naturally a size 2, yet wears a 32D. until the breast implants boom in the 90s, she always complained that she could never find a bra in her size. now she complains that everyone automatically assumes hers are fake (and yes they are real, and yes she is naturally very slender - i've know her since she was 10) #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    @Tchotchke: Being large-busted and very thin is not rare, but it isn't common, either. It happens enough naturally that when you see a woman IRL with them, you don't automatically think they are fake, because chances are they are real. However, when you see that about, what, a third of women in Hollywood are small-framed, thin, and large-busted... then there are reasons to be suspicious that some are not naturally so endowed, and it does put unreasonable pressure on young women to look like that even if they are not naturally built like that. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    @Dancingfrog: I understand that. However, as someone with that build I can attest to the fact that just because in theory, you possess an idealized body type does not mean that you are free from ED behavior, severe body issues or insecurity. Our culture may indeed put unreasonable pressure on young women to look a certain way, but picking apart and analyzing women's bodies--regardless of whether they are short, tall, heavy, thin, small busted or large busted--is fundamentally wrong and destructive. It is the very act of dissecting women's bodies that has led to the idea of an idealized woman, and even when it is done to someone who has society's idea of a favorable body, everyone suffers the consequences of that mentality. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe

    @Tchotchke: Woah, woah. I think some miscommunication has occurred. I never, ever meant to imply that some women are immune to EDs, insecurity, or severe body issues based on their body type. That's just outlandish. I also do not think it's fair to break down a person into body parts. A person is a whole being - mind, body, spirit. Not just a bunch of parts.

    However, I do believe that Hollywood needs to put a more diverse image out there. I also believe that women and men need to know the difference between enhanced and real. That does not mean that individual people should be visually dissected. That does, however, entail that women and men realize the difference between real and enhanced. That women and men are taught to realize what is reasonable to expect and what is unreasonable. The current ideal of being large busted but incredibly small-boned and thin is not common in nature; it is unreasonable to expect anyone to live up to the photoshopped and surgerical standards that are being set. Acknowledging this, while not blaming or shaming individuals, is an important step to accepting natural, individual body shapes and people as the ideal. #americasnexttopmodelbarbietoe
