Is there a such thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to how
teeny weeny a woman can make her waist? Barbie would disagree, but one
woman's insane ritual of wearing a corset every day for 23 hours—which she has been doing for the last six years—has helped her achieve her ultimate body goal: a 20-inch waist.
Waist training has been in the news a lot lately, mostly thanks to
the Kardashian sisters, who have shed inches and inches off of their
already-slim waists with the help of special waist training corsets.
But a Venezuelan model named Aleira Avendano, who is 25, has every
celeb who is just getting hip to this "fitness" trend beat because she
has been wearing her corset for six incredibly painful (or at least
uncomforable) years, and she only gives her body a break for one hour
each day, which I assume is the time she takes a shower and gets
dressed.
And the proof that this works is her waist—which is so small it's
practically impossible to see when she is photographed from certain
angles. Here she is:
Different
strokes for different folks. I don't like to criticize women or men for
decisions they make about their own bodies, even if this isn't my
thing. The only thing I can think about when I see this is how my
quality of life wouldn't be the same if I had to wear a constricting
corset practically every minute of the day. For me, this wouldn't be
worth the hassle or pain.
But Avendano makes a living off of her curves, more so than most
fashion models because she is a glamour model who has appeared in
magazines like Playboy. With so many women going under the
knife—especially in that business—it must be impossible to stand apart
from others at casting calls. Avendano's crazy constant waist-training
probably pays off for her when she books jobs.
I prefer a more realistic female silhouette, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find this fascinating.
Would you do what this model did to achieve a 20-inch waist?
