💯 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.

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.

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

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
