Dutch Model Deemed ‘Too Fat’ Gets Her Day in Court and Poses to Prove Her Point

[Blue_Tires]

Judgment day is coming in the case of the woman named Holland’s Next Top Model in 2008. But this time it’s not on TV, it’s due to be pronounced in a Dutch court on Wednesday. Was Ananda Marchildon too fat, or, specifically, too hippy to receive the €75,000 in assignments promised by the show? The modeling agency Elite is alleged to have said she had “a nice face but a fat ass.” Specifically, she was two centimeters, or three quarters of an inch, wider than they’d allow, suggesting she wouldn’t look good on runways and wouldn’t even fit in the designers’ clothes. So they cut her off with a payout of only €10,000 (about $13,000).

On Tuesday, to bolster her lawsuit to win back the rest of the money, and, well, perhaps sway Dutch public opinion, Marchildon teamed up with underwear manufacturer Sloggi for a new photo shoot and invited The Daily Beast to watch the session.

Wow....Seriously??

1. If she's fat, then i must be a chubby chaser.

[RebelOne]

11. If she is fat, then I am a blimp. n/t

[Myrina]

2. THAT'S "a fat ass"?

Seriously? WTF is wrong with society?????

[Odin2005]

3. That's FAT? according to what moron???

[Chan790]

5. The same morons...

that made my former roommate the runway model retire at 22 because fashion houses insist that their models be sizes 2-4.*

Yes, she's "too fat" to work a NYC fashion week runway...she's within 35# of normal weight for her height and build and that's just not acceptable.

*-It's okay. She took the quarter-million she made while going to college with no loans, put herself through her MBA and invested the rest into an IRA. Now she works on Wall St. and makes about $100K a year and plans to retire at 40. Also, she's hot.

12. is she single?

[Chan790]

16. She's a non-monogamous/polyamorous Objectivist with a gun-fetish.

Any time someone tells you that they aspire to be Dagny Taggert you should run for the hills. So you want no part of that honestly. She's also my best-friend's ex-fiance and we're on not-really-speaking terms.

But, yes. She's single.

17. that WOULD be my luck, based on recent trends...

4. I'm Going to Need More Photos to Make a Judgment

Lots more. Maybe a video or two. In fact, I may need a personal one on one inspection.

[geardaddy]

6. That isn't even close to fat.

eejits.

[edbermac]

7. I've photographed models at my camera club for 8 years.

Fat? No way, that lady has a VERY nice backside.

[HughBeaumont]

8. Uh, modeling agency . . . are you people FUCKED?

I'd hate to hear what they think about MY tastes, because in no known regular UNIverse is that butt "fat". How ridiculous.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. If it's underwear she's promoting in her shoot, I think

she probably will get more looks than twiggy.

Voluptuous derrieres have been in vogue for some time.

[dr.strangelove]

10. She is disgusting, enourmous, revolting

and Bizzaro tired of talking about it!

Seriously, the fashion world is insane. That woman is too thin for my tastes, yet she is indeed a beautiful woman.

[Bruce Wayne]

23. Good God, that fatty is just spilling out of those panties!

But such a nice girl... Why it looks like she'd give a friend her shirt right off her back!

[freshwest]

13. She's larger below the rib cage than I was before pregnancy. May need to tone up, but she's great.

What were they expecting her to look like when she posed, anyway?

She's very sleek, well-proportioned, healthy, pretty face, the works.

I don't get the problem here, she looks just as good as any classic model.

[hifiguy]

14. Umm. That is a stunning looking

young woman. Someone is deef in the eyes and blind in the ears if she's "fat."

[sakabatou]

15. They call that fat?

[mistertrickster]

18. Ridiculous. This is perfection. nt

[Orrex]

19. She's so skinny that her clothes fell off of her!

[blue neen]

20. She is a very beautiful, healthy-looking woman.

By no means is she fat.

What the hell is wrong with the fashion industry? Pubescent young ladies who look like heroin addicts are not what models should be.

I'm 56. I'd give anything to have that butt.

[Broderick]

21. now that is a stunning body to me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. I'd love to have her "fat" butt.

Mine looks like a couple of wolverines fighting in a sack.

[guitar man]

24. Compared to my personal preference

She's aneorexic.... but to most I'd guess she looks pretty normal sized.

But then I have a thing for women that are nice and round..... been married to a self-described "fat" woman for 20 years now. I've never got the whole super skinny thing myself.
