Abbey Lee on POP Magazine cover
Friday, February 5, 2010 at 10:30PM 
If you haven't yet heard of it, Pop is a British style bible, formerly edited by Katie Grand (who now edits Love mag and who just did the eight naked supermodel covers which I posted about here). Once Katie moved over to Love, the industry was abuzz with what her successor, Dasha Zhukova (beautiful, clever, having a baby with a Russian billionaire), would do. And she shocked the fashion world by putting 14-year-old fashion blogger Tavi on first cover. A PR stunt if there ever was one.
Abbey Lee has the honour of gracing the second. Of course, a magazine cover isn't a cover these days without the video behind it, so I've got that for you too. Are you an Abbey Lee fan? Or is she a little too pre-pubescent for your liking?

That is the lamest thing I have ever seen. A scrawny child writhing on a clearly stationary motorbike in front of a wind machine. She doesn't even need to approach the throttle before the sound effects kick in. All they had to do was film her in some picturesque location actually on the bike and it would have been hot. Instead it was all scrawny arms and gangly knees and pouting. Horrendous.
hahaha - The worst part was the slow action when she sits on the bike.. So badly put together agree it would have looked much better shot as Claire suggested.. This was laughable. Trying to be a copy cat Moss.
abbylee is like 23, she isnt a child
Abbey Lee may not actually be a child, but I think Nedahl's point is that she looks like one. I, for one agree. I think she has an unusual and beautiful face but her body still looks like an 11 year old girl's. The question is whether it's natural or whether, if allowed to eat like a normal 23 year old woman and have a normal body fat ratio, her body would change. There is a difference between being very slim and being childlike.
Lots of girls in modelling, ballet, gymnastics etc essentially put off puberty by keeping their body fat below the level needed by the body to function normally.
Such a beautiful face with a body that isn't on the same level. As Nedahl said if you're naturally thin - even then your thigh has shape - very true. I've always been tiny with height but everything is in proportion - no bones that will be breaking. I may not have the face to model but these women do and it's such a shame to see them lose their natural beauty as they become forcibly skinnier and skinnier.
