Get more pumped than you were about that Bring It On pom pom deathmatch.
Ford Models and V magazine told the Cut that their model search across America for this year’s next megabae model starts today. IS IT YOU? Maybe.
This year, it’s co-ed. Nice one. Despite the good news on that front, it’s only up to a size 18, and the cup sizes that hopeful models are allowed to be aren’t all that inclusive either. Interestingly, as a matter of convenience, rather than have you simply type in your measurements, they went with dropdown menu — which is an opportunity to be welcoming to everyone in infinite ways but also exclusionary. Anyway, here are the measurement ranges hopefuls can choose from.
Waist: 19” to 35”
Hips: 30″ to 51″ ( you can add fractions there)
Chest Cup Size: 28” to 46” AA – DD (no E’s or F’s then?)
Dress Size: 0 to 18
Weight : 64 pounds to 240 pounds.
It IS just an entry form, so it’s highly possible they’d be pleased as punch to consider a woman who wore a size 20, but it’s not necessarily welcoming. Last year’s pick was Lilly Marie, who walked in a Chanel show, and we all know how size-diverse those shindigs are.
