Model

The Resume

    (December 3, 1985- )
    Born in Paris, France
    Raised in Biarritz, France
    Swedish-French descent
    Appeared on 'The Today Show' about her firing (October 13, 2009)
    Fired from her contract with Ralph Lauren for becoming 'too fat' at 5'10 and 120 pounds (April 2009)

Why she might be annoying:

    She was discovered at 15 while appearing in a pageant with her mom which they joined on a whim.
    She became a Ralph Lauren model at 16.
    Model profiles list her height as 5'8, while media sources list it as 5'10.
    The Photoshopping on the Ralph Lauren ad (left profile pic) resulted in her waist appearing thinner than her head.
    Her BMI (Body Mass Index) registers at 17.2, which is not considered overweight by health standards.

Why she might not be annoying:

    The Photoshopped ad and her firing became the topic of news stories and placed Lauren in the skinny model preference hot seat.
    She called out the marketers that released the ad (that appeared in a Tokyo mall) featuring the disastrous Photoshopped image.
    The media fiasco over her firing made for bad publicity for Ralph Lauren.
    During her tenure with Lauren, Lauren referred to her as his muse and credits her for bringing life to his fashion creations.
    She appeared in the Pirelli calendar in 2003 and 2005.
    She is the daughter of a Swedish count and baroness.
