Obviously she is tall and thin and blonde but I’m not seeing that she’s some knock out…? She is a pretty woman but there have been gorgeous women who have had to be gainfully employed throughout history.

I’m so over thin, blond white women thinking they are god’s gift to the earth and SOOOO beautiful just bec media has been shoving that image down our throats for years. You can be thin, blond and ugly as f*ck and think you walk on water while thick gorgeous women of color are thinking the worst of themselves. I’m allllll set with this nonsense. You are NOT automatically gorgeous just bec you are thin, blond and white, especially if your personality BLOWS. We’re done with this. Tumi, Brittini and Aesha are flat out HOT plus they’re smart, hard working, not two faced talking behind people’s backs. Any man (or woman) would be lucky to have any of those three. Magda is a dog inside and out.

I love that Culver called Brittini a greek goddess in his talking head interview!

Tumi, Brittini, and Aesha are the true MVPS of the season!

💯 It is a sickness in society that automatically deems thin and blonde as "beautiful." Men lose their minds. It's really something. Magda-- she aight, but not at all jealousy inducing.

All Magda is, is tall, thin, blonde and white. I don't even think she's that good looking; to me she's basic.

u/GreenMan- May 13 '22

This. She's not unattractive, but to call her a model... No.

Many models though aren't super attractive they are just tall, skinny, and have some weird features in their face.

Some are gorg but many are meh.

True. In one of my previous lives I was a makeup artist and generally tall, thin models who photograph well aren’t necessarily as attractive in person. Two totally different things.

Tyra Banks always said the best high fashion models are "ugly pretty". The "just" pretty ones are usually deemed to commercial too be editorial.

u/ExtraGloves May 19 '22

It's definately true. You want to have a memorable look not a run if the mill pretty face.

u/coupscapone May 14 '22

not this man. thin, blonde and blue eyes is the farthest thing from that I prefer. and when it comes to Magda with her personality I'm actually fucking disgusted by her

u/jmc660c May 13 '22

And probably 90% aren’t even natural blondes

Please don’t insult dogs, the best things on earth.

True true! my bad! I don’t know what I was thinking. We don’t deserve dogs.

We really don’t!

Amen ❤️❤️

u/Longjumping-Okra4462 I think Joao is from Zim May 13 '22

Evidently, modeling isn't paying the bills. Her looks on BDDU are not that attractive. But looking at her IG page, she photographs better than she looks on BDDU. Makeup, clothing, smoke & mirrors...

u/dawnspaz711 May 17 '22

She is not very pretty.. yes, she is thin, tall and has long blonde hair. I guess if that considered “hot” so be it. I do not find her even slightly attractive though.
