    Sadly the fashion industry is not about making women look good, but about making clothes, that look good. Fashion models must be exchangable.

      Well, you have an idea about what YOU THINK looks good on a woman but the next five people behind you might all feel differently

        As a straight American male, who has many straight American male friends, and has interacted with many other straight American males, I promise you that at least 4 out of 5 of those five guys behind him would prefer Sofia's body over your average runway models body. At least here in Northern California. I can't say for the rest of the country, but typically most comments on the internet tend to agree. I tend to see most guys drooling over Sofia, Jennifer Lawerence, Emma Watson, and Emma Stone. The first two have a curvier body type, and the latter two are more of an "average" body type. None of which are your typical runway model look.
        Now I'm not saying the runway models are ugly or anything, but the guy you're responding to isn't exactly wrong.

            ^^, this. This also goes for a lot of things that are advertised to women. I don't think women realize how basic most guys appetites are. Women try so hard and spend so much money and time looking preety because other women and the fashion industry tells them to. If you ask most guys esp any of my friends, they will tell you most women look very pretty just the way they are, and in many cases they look better w/o all this artificial beep

                        Correct, Colombian models are fit but "voluptuous" in the right places, not anorexic flat bony sticks like in other parts of the world.

                            She wasn't an American or European model..she was a Colombian model. Different (and better!
                            ) standards.

                              Yes.MUCH better! I heard that Colombia has a 'thriving' production market for women's underclothesso naturally there is a HUGE demand for women who can model the stuff.

                                AND here is an example of a Colombian Model who in fact does work for a Colombian lingerie manufacturer:

                                  Fashion trends come and go. A few decades ago, curvy women were seen as the ideal body type for models - this was the case in the West as well.
                                  But Colombian women are very curvy in general so it's possible that the waif trend hasn't spread there.

                                          Sofia Vergara has a very desirable shape for an Hispanic woman. You yourself may have been conditioned to expect models to be toothpick thin with no breasts. Nevertheless, that's not what Colombian men desire. Ms Vergara's hourglass figure is the preference of many South American gentlemen.
