"You need to eat"
AmusedI can pretty much guarantee if I submit a nude image where I'm leaning backwards or is lit to highlight bone structure I will get multiple "you are too skinny eat a sandwich" comments (why is it always a sandwich or burger anyway??).
It's become a joke with readers of my livejournal. Not least because I am probably one of the 'biggest' fashion and art nude models I know. I eat way more junk food than is healthy and never excercise, ever. I'm also pretty curvy at 126lbs and a hip measurement of 37.5" (that's a UK size 12). Not that it should make any difference. If I was a natural healthy size 6 I'd still find those comments ignorant and annoying.
I get the impression a lot of people don't realize the basics of anatomy - that ribs will "stick out" on anyone who is lacking in muscle and/or not overweight, if they arch their back or lean forwards or "suck in". Sometimes the effect is made more prominent by side-on views and certain types of lighting that emphasize shadows. I love that effect in an image.
So here's to a celebration of my visible ribs! Anyone got links to other 'rib' pics? Please share!

It's good that you don't take these things to heart.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.

We all see world differently.
Who cares if your ribs show? If a model is healthy, I don't see how it makes any difference whether she's a size 6 or a size 14. Hell, my ribs show when I pose in certain ways, and I wear the equivalent of a UK size 12/14.
You probably know from LJ that aside latex, I work in the mainstream fashion industry.
The morons that criticize you should have a look at some of the teenage girls I have to do makeup on.
Ok this is not very constructive, pointing that there is "worse" somewhere. But you can tell healthy and naturally thin models from starving girls, honestly.
Not mentioning that EVEN if you were unhealthy thin, it wouldn't necesessarily mean that you'd be anoxeric or have some kind of problem. Some girls have a very high metabolism, that's it (and I hate them! lol)

(And I think it's always a burger/sandwich cause most people seem to think bread and meat make you instantly fat or something!
