"Human hourglass" model has 20-inch waist

Scarlett O'Hara would be envious. Ioana Spangenberg, a Romanian model, says that her waist measures 20 inches - no Spanx or corsets required.  The tabloids are calling her a "human hourglass," but not everyone is a believer. (Someone should ask Snooki and Dolly Parton for their views.)

The 30-year-old model weighs around 85 pounds, according to Shine's fashion editor. Ioana has always been this slender, according to The Sun.  "When I was 13 my waist was around 15 inches," she said. "Someone could put their hands around it, their fingers would touch and they would still have extra room."

The NY Daily News reports that Ioana has succeeded in modeling corsets but wants to gain weight. "I would still like to gain weight so I don't look so shocking,” she said. “Now that I live in Germany I can't get enough pizza or kebabs."

Maybe she could get a job modeling clothes for life-size Barbie dolls?
