What’s missing in this picture?
Not clothes, sir, but this:
A belly button.
Underwear model Karolina Kurkova has no belly button. Is a barely-there navel for cosmetic or medical reasons?
The newspapers call it the “riddle of the £2.5m beauty”. The beauty in question is Czech supermodel Karolina Kurkova. The riddle is her non-existent belly button.
Its absence was noticed this week when the 24-year-old graced a US catwalk for lingerie giant Victoria Secret. While most of us have an “outie” or an “innie”, Ms Kurkova has a smooth indentation (although sometimes a tummy button is airbrushed onto her photos in post-production).
Yet another sign of our arrival in the post-human age.

They can’t all be supermodels, can they? This one looks like a regular model to me.
Happy world philosophy day!
A clone!
No thank you. Didn’t Victoria’s Secret models used to be hot? cf. Laetitia Casta.
The alien invasion has begun…
and they are HOT.
Is that where she keeps her chewing gum?
Yeah, but she does have a BMI that’s way too low.
Context is everything. I thought “post-human” was a joke, until I saw Charles’s name, and realized it was serious.
Demo Kid beat me to it.
cylon.
Ugh! man, I just ate!
EWGROSSY!
Kyle XY doesn’t have a belly button, either. Aliens are among us!!
Not attractive.
Somehow I’m finding this more visualy disturbing than that tree guy from Indonesia.
A visit to the Medical Oddities Museum in Philly didn’t have me cringing as much as this does.
Not attractive.
i always thought actresses playing aliens, as depicted on the scifi channel, wore too little clothing. i thought, surely real aliens wouldn’t be so immodest. i see now that i was completely wrong, and scifi was right.
There must be some logical explanation, probably a botched surgery. Or maybe she had it removed on purpose, because she’s insane.
Or maybe a bunch of impressionable young women will go out and have their belly buttons removed…in Mudede’s future, perhaps the clones will be the envied ones, and the organics will aspire to copy the copies.
aside the breeder hips
who cares
charles in rut twice a week
Big deal. My mom didn’t have a belly button – the doctor cut her umbilical cord weird and it didn’t leave a scar.
@20 – Which begs the question, how much can final navel shape be determined by the doctor? I mean, could special umbilical cutters make for sexier navels?
I have honestly never heard of someone not having a belly button. This is the most interesting thing I’ve learned all day. Sad, but true.
I was going to say, “her upper lip”, but I guess your point was more interesting.
I think it has to do with her being immaculately conceived.
maybe she was just adopted.
she’s the whore of babylon.
Seriously: Her smile says, “I know you’re looking at the area where my belly button isn’t.”
Deny it.
She’s a femme-bot!!!
It’s a beta version. I hope they’re working the bugs out (and the kinks in).
Charles reads Fleshbot, as do I.
Yes, #4, Laetitia Casta (I’m trusting your spelling). Laetitia Casta, indeed.
@14 BA and 16 Fnarf: eHarmony! Jinx!
Ah Crap! was I in the middle of a Slog love-wich? EEEEWWWWW!
#31: Seriously. For example:

The most disturbing thing about this item is definitely the word “tummy-button”.
Because as everyone knows, models don’t have BELLIES!
Another thing missing is any sense of fashion, artistry, or good design in what she’s almost wearing….
You should see mine after a “procedure” to rectify a ruptured appendix.
What the enquiring mind really wants to know, though, is whether or not this model is anatomically correct, or does she have Barbie-doll underparts?
Am i being catty in thinking this woman is hardly the world’s most beautiful? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081121/lf_n…
Patricia Heaton doesn’t have one either.

They often disappear after liposuction and tummy lifts.
