Quote
- "I think it is very unfair that I have been criticised that I'm too skinny. I have never been anorexic or bulimic I don't throw up my meals after I eat them I don't starve myself, none of that. I eat six to eight healthy meals a day."—Stephanie NaumoskaHerald Sun: Skinny model Stephanie Naumoska bites back at anorexic claims (April 23, 2009)
