    I could probably have lived my life as one of Tim Burton's brain cells and have been very happy. I just love this man's creativity and the artistic ability he has to go with it - I think both are rare gifts and to have them combined is just amazing.

    I like to call my boyfriend "Baby Tim Burton" because he looks like him, and they share a LOT in common. Like being misunderstood artists who grew up in sunny Southern California. I love Tim's work and am soo jealous of everyone who gets to see this exhibit!

    The article doesn't actually quote her as saying their undesirable style of walking was BECAUSE of their weight/size. I suppose that's the obvious connection for us all to make, but it doesn't actually say that.

    @Princess Leela: If they were bad walkers it probably had more to do with the fact that they are editorial models because no one ever casts runway models that size.

    @Penny: Elena MirĂ³ does, and has for years. I'm confused that people seem to think this is such a novelty. Perhaps it's the contrast -- all the models in a MirĂ³ show are size 6, 8, 10, but none of them are 0,2, 4.

    Seriously, for most of you who do not work in fashion or with models. THE WALKING is important, and it is a lot harder than it looks. Are any of you familiar with Erika Kurihara's work? She has always styled all sizes, ethnicities, and ages in her editorial work when it wasn't popular to do this. And judging from what I have seen, the plus sized models in Mark Fast's show, had crappy walks. Also, before you Jezebels get all happy about this casting: Mark didn't use a single "Black" model. Wanessa is Brazilian of mixed heritage, and Rachel Rutt is half White and Asian...The plus-size casting decision was obviously for novelty.

    @ShrilataMover: I'm not overly excited about this casting. However....yes, walking is important, the point is that why would a model 4 sizes smaller necessarily be able to walk any better? This is Mark Fast, it's not like he had the industry's top walkers.

    @Penny: These models likely weren't booked at the last minute, so why wasn't there the chance to give them some extra practice at walking?

    It seems odd that the stylist was more concerned about this and not the ill fitting underwear...

    I know what the stylist is talking about. Us fatties waddle around like pregnant bowlegged penguins, pausing every few steps to catch our breath. It's an ordeal just to haul ass out of bed and waddle to the refrigerator. God knows what I'd look like, hauling my fat ass down the runway. I'd probably have someone following behind me with a chair and a Big Gulp so I could rest and drink every 15 feet. Thank the lord someone's brave and smart enough to break their silence on this topic. Where would we be without her?

    The photo of the Fast model above is much better than the one that ran yesterday, in which the dress looked incredibly ill-fitting and uncomfortable. It looked like it was cutting into her skin in some places. I wrote that off to bad lighting or bad camera work.

    But in the above photo, I see how the dress is supposed to fit. It (and she) looks pretty damn hot. I only wish I could pull off a look like that. Good for Fast.

    @willwriteforfood: I think the fit was so bad because the stylist had apparently given the ladies ill-fitting undergarments. If you look at the gallery it wasn't the dresses so much as the underwear. I think the stylist was being spiteful and gave them too -small underwear. No matter what your size, if your panties don't fit, you will look uncomfortable.

    @GirlFailer: I went back to look at the photo and you're right, you can see her bra and panties cutting into her body. If that was done on purpose, then that's just evil.

    WTF is a stylist doing commenting on the models' walk or build, anyway? I would think a stylist of any talent can work with the people and clothing they're given without crabbing about it. I doubt a designer pays a stylist to mouth off about his choice of clothing or employee.
