"It's all about the computer these days. People might look at a picture of me and say, "Wow, I wish I had her body", but they should realise that I often look at a picture of myself and say, "Wow, I wish I had my body." ' - Coco Rocha, to the Daily Telegraph.

I wouldn't say no one actually looks like that. I used to work out at Equinox. Take my word for it. There are some people that have perfect bodies. Everyone has something about them that's perfect. Even you. Nose, hair, skin, etc.
It's just unlikely that they have EVERYTHING perfect.

Yeah, but when the models walk the runways, they obviously are not photoshoped real-time, so their bodies have to look THAT good.

I don't know, a model on the runway in person, especially when the fabric shifts from their spine, is not perfect. It's like in photos they are thin but everything's smooth, in real life everything's thin and bony.

Thank You for posting this quote! I'm sure we all look at pictures of models, wish we could look them, and wonder how much of what we are wishing for is airbrushed in. It's nice to hear from the model herself that no one actually looks like that- not even her!
