Ioana Spangenberg: Model Defends Her 20-Inch Waist (PHOTOS)

Ioana Spangenberg

She's been dubbed "the human hourglass" by a paper in the U.K., and she boasts a 20-inch waist (yes, that's only about five inches bigger than a CD), but Ioana Spangenberg swears her shape is all-natural.

The 30-year-old model from Romania claims she's been unable to alter her shape -- with diet or exercise -- since she was a teenager. Today, she rings in at about 5'7"/5'8" and weighs only 85 pounds.

In a newly released interview, Spangenberg insists she eats three meals a day -- including pizza and chocolate -- and defends her shape. Her day of food reportedly looks like this: "She has toast with jam or eggs for breakfast and has a snack of chocolate and crisps around 12 p.m. Lunch consists of sausage, chicken and potatoes, while later in the day she fills up on bread, meat and cheese sandwiches."

People have been concerned about whether the model is, in fact, anorexic (she may exhibit some common physical signs of malnutrition), but the model says she's happy with her super lean figure after years of being bullied for it.

Of course, Spangenberg isn't the only model/celeb who has been criticized for extreme weight loss. Here are a few stars who have shed (maybe too many) pounds before our eyes.


And take a look at a video of Spangenberg below.

Some see this woman as bizarre; I see her as gorgeous. Oh, yeah. She'd get the wood.

Anorexia or parasites.

If this is her natural shape, of course she shouldn't be bullied for it. But I think that in nature, nobody could survive like this - or in an obese state - and that our bodies couldn't possibly be this way "naturally".

She looks ghoulish

She has a very odd body shape. If I saw her in a bikini then I might believe she doesn't wear a corset. Ok, I watched the video and she is wearing one. She walks from side to side because the corset will not allow her to walk normally. It keeps her back straight.

I don't believe I've ever seen a sicker looking body!

She has no reason to defend herself if that is her natural look. On the other hand, if she has been altering her figure artificially, that would be her business and again no need to defend herself. As long as she is nit infringing on others.

Without the necessary body structure, must be like a bobble-torso, with the torso as an inverted weeble wobble

I would need more info before I judged her. Some people are naturally thin. Kids get weight issues early starting with their parents making comments. If she was fat then everyone would be saying something about that. Most women say they want a 24 inch waist and thats only 4 sizes bigger. Not sure what all the fuss is about most girls will not have a 20inch waist even if they tried so relax.

Next time you find yourself being aroused by an emaciated women ask yourselves if the thrill of the chase is worth the grief it has borne on the subject?

So much for 20 inch waists and the waif girls who live inside these bodies. Surely there must be a way to bring a stop to all of this?

Poor girl, looking at her makes me want to throw up.

It definitely looks like she used a corset to get that shape.

My first reaction was WHAT IS THIS? I mean I can loose a few pounds, will more than a few but I never want to be like that. That pn my opinion is a sick person 85 pounds wow!
