I have to say that I agree that if you're a (sterotypical) model, your looks are to a certain degree fair game. A model is specifically turning him/herself into an object to be looked at and knowingly entering him/herself into what is essentially a beauty competition in which only the most popular looks can make a living.
It's kind of the same thing that it's perfectly okay for everyone in the hockey world to discuss PK Subbans fat percentage.
Of course if I was king of the world we'd do away with professional modelling altogether and put strict regulations on photomanipulation, but I'm not.
There are exceptions to every rule, and this is one of them.
Of course there's limits to what I'd consider okay. "Butterface", "dirty hippie feet", "gross tattoos" etc are not what I'd consider "criticism".
