I think 5'10" for a girl who is somewhere in her mid-teens is pretty tall since she's got a few years left to grow.

Lex, hon, I was 5'9" when I was 12 years old. I grew an additional inch before I hit high school. Christine is pretty much as tall as she's gonna get.

I dunno... I stopped growing when I turned about 17-18 years old. If 5'7" is considered the average height for women, 5'10" is tall for a teenager who has a few years left to grow.

I don't think 5'7" is "average" for women. Where'd you get that number?

I am pretty sure 5'4" is avg height for women and at age 16, I don't think she has much growing left in her.

That sounds about right, Kells! I also remembered that *I* was about the height of the average American man! So I went and googled it, and yup. Women = 5'4.5"; men = 5'10".

5'4 is the average height of most women so 5'10 is very tall for a woman and a perfect height for a model.

OK I'm confused. You said you modeled Costa right? Then you said Christine is too short to model. And she is the exact same height as you?? As for teenage growth, that is so individual. Some still have spurts, some are done at that age. So while we can't rule out she will grow a bit taller, can't count on it either. That said, all these posts seem to prove my point that she is CURRENTLY, as is, not to short to model!

It's obvious that she isn't too short to model...she DID! And for a first photo shoot, she had a real presence about her. I don't see her as average looking at all while she's modeling! I thought she was gorgeous! Otherwise, yes, she looks average to me. I see a good future for that girl, whether it's in high fashion or the Sears catalog. I wish her well!

I said I didn't find anything special about her. And at 5'10" I was just barely tall enough for runway. She's tall, she's just not all that tall. And if she grows any more, it'll not be much. Not at that height at that age.

BTW, The Daily is a publication of IMG. So yeah, they put her on the cover. Also, Christine modeled in Rebecca Minkoff's spring show. Did anyone hear or see her model in any of the fall shows?

I haven't Costa. I'm suspicious that this whole modeling thing is for the show so they can film Danielle in Milan etc. NOT that I think Christine couldn't do well. Perhaps they've got her working in small venues. I'm curious too. Hoping for the best for that child.

They probably need to send Danielle to Milan since none of the women will associate with her.

Exactly Lexie. Bravo likes having a villian like Danielle but realizes that filming her without a story of her own will bore us the viewers over time. Getting Christine exposure as a model is a perfect storyline for Danielle. I don't want to take anything away from Christine at all. I think she is a natural and over time with more experience under her belt can do wonderful as a model. BUT I am sure Bravo played a role in this.

While I haven't heard of Christine doing the falls shows, why would I? I can't think of anytime, beyond Project Runway, that's I've seen or heard the names of any models. Unless they hit that top echelon of Supermodel, we seldom if ever hear the name of model unless the fall on the runway, OD, or something newsworthy. Beyond that, they are basically walking mannequins. Sad fact of the industry. But, after all, it's about the clothes and the designer, not them, esp at first. I think the only place we would have heard it from would have been Bravo, and I'd assume they would keep it for the show, assuming Danielle stays on the show. And if she doesn't, I can't see why they would care to publicize it. So all that said, I don't think it means anything either way that we haven't heard from what she is up to. Being a new model I would assume they would be working with her to develop her abilities and probably booking her into smaller shoots to build a portfolio. That's what my common sense tells me.

I googled Christine Staub and found a few articles all saying the same basic thing, that she was signed with IMG modeling agency in Sept 2009 but not much else. I'm hoping she does well and is able to rise above her mother's antics. Hopefully an article will be written in the not too distant future that will shed some light on how her career is doing. The fans are all pulling for her, that kid deserves a break.

Teresa with her perfect makeup, saying "owwweeee!" That was hilarious. She did have a beautiful baby girl, though. Chris and the stripper car wash. WTH? He's forgetting a huge segment of the market... women! I would not take my car to a stripper car wash. So by doing so, he's essentially cut out half the people who would visit his place. More if you consider wives who might not enjoy hubbies heading to the strip club while the car is being waxed! (Pun intended!) Danielle and her "muscle." She really thinks she's all innocent? She is going to instigating trouble. And as far as the fundraiser, she could've donated (and asked for donations from friends) without showing up at the Brownstone. I'm pretty sure Danielle can't afford a big donation herself, so not sure why she thinks it's so important to attend. Real piece of work, that one. I think she should go to the Clueless Farm along with Kelly from RHNYC.

I am so goofy, I get excited when I see places I know on the show! The hospital where Teresa gave birth is not far from here! heee hee. soooo anyway.... I also got a kick out of Teresa getting all glam in the hospital-I loved it! I can't believe they showed her actually getting the epidural -ouch! The baby is just adorable and I did like the scene when she asked Dina to be her godmother. I know Caroline is bossy but she made a lot of sense last night and I can't help but like her-especially all her little "sayings". Her husband is really looking good, too. Something about Danielle's new friend skeeves me.

Teresa may let her girls run roughshod over her (omg, how much she spent last week on Gia's clothes, and Melania knocking all the things off the hooks!), but gosh, she seems like a pretty good and hands-on Mom! I enjoyed the owwwweee thing and her asking Dina to be the Godmother of the new baby was sweet.

I also laughed at her trying to get her husband in gear. He's standing there drinking coffee. And then she makes french toast? Dang, she gets the Mother Of The Year award!

ok... what's with "chucky"???? While I think she is an Awesome mom.. I don't think she had hit active labor yet otherwise there is NO WAY she would have been pee-diddling around like that.

"Chuckalina" is their nickname for a va-jay-jay. Apparently, the Manzo sisters have used the short form "Chucky" for years. She was only 3 cm dilated when she got to the hospital, so yes, she was having some contractions but they were obviously not 5 mins apart.
