I don't know if she's gained any weight but she looks typically model-thin in this photo.
(That's Ali on the left. )It will be interesting to see which (if any) designers will choose her to walk in their S/S 09 shows this Fall. If they do, I think it's a good step towards recognizing that women who weigh more than 110 pounds can walk the runway and look gorgeous. Now I am not saying that Ali represents the typical woman, but as a model, it is hard when you are competing against 15-year-old girls who are shaped like poles and if you gain just a couple pounds, it makes a big difference. I really hope that she gets casted in the S/S 09 shows and I hope she stays healthy.

I am really behind this story, and I'm glad that you posted it. Although being over 110 lbs isn't considered "heavy", in the fashion industry, and as a model, it puts a hinderance on your career when you are, as you say, up against fifteen year old girls, because they have girls bodies, and not a woman's body.
I just hope she stayes focused on her career and staying as healthy as she can.
