When I hear the word "supermodels" I can't help but think of the delightful Edna Mode, who was, of course, the fashion designer from Pixar's excellent The Incredibles:
"Supermodels? Hmmmph! Nothing super about them! Little stick figures with poofy lips! I used to design for gods!"

Plus size supermodels don't really exist. Also, the term "supermodel" refers to an outdated concept, the best of today's models can be seen in these lists.

Don't talk like this, or you'll lure all those people to the thread who post on AskMe saying "get thee to a doctor" or "get thee to a therapist", which makes me want to kill them.
I have no opinion about supermodels.

I think you nailed it. From the press most of this girls get, a doctor and a therapist sounds about right.
Also this was a pretty weak FPP. Some guys' magazine clippings of models? Am I missing something?

I've been trying to recall the name of a model for days- she's very androgynous looking, looks to be of Latin descent, short hair. Can anyone think of who I'm talking about? I'm browsing the list at models.com to see if I can find her...

Supermodel (apostrophe) s goddammit! "Every supermodel" is singular. Apostrophe s denotes ownership.
Also, you forgot a verb.
A website that posts updates on every "supermodel's" current work.
Arrrrrgh!!!

I'm creeped out that for most of them, it says "This model has not moved in the past week." I know there's pressure to stay thin, but that's too much.

Oh great, another thread for the mens to puff up their chests and hate on skinny women. They're not real women! They must all be anorexic bacon-haters to maintain that hideousness! They're like a dog bone, only not the nummy kind with the meat on it! They are not fit for my intercourse!

Huh. Well I checked out the "Top 50 women" and I was surprised that so many of them had... character.
Then I checked out the "Top 25 sexiest [women]" and found them almost entirely characterless.
I wonder what that means. Maybe it's just me.
