I think Crystal is still a stunner, but I think it is safe to say she is no longer a plus size model. She is looking like a 4 which means, she is a straight size. Just sayin’.
Thanks to Models.com for these photos.
She is hot I will give her that, but is no longer the leader of the plus size industry, another one bites the dust.
What is on your mind?
If you guys read the post about my mourning about Crystal Renn’s recent weight loss. I am over it. I still think she is a great model, and I am still slightly worried about her health. But I will not let it get me down like it did when I first saw those images.
Turns out it is my life, I am not Crystal Renn, and I will not turn out like Crystal Renn. In the words of some encouraging followers via e-mail, I will “blaze my own trail”. Not to mention, I don’t only want to model, I want to ACT so badly. So, that sets me different from Crystal Renn. I want to be a modern day Marylin Monroe, without the young death part. :)
I am ready to pave my way through, signing with Wilhelmina of PA this Friday. That is only the beginning.
<3 Happy week everyone!
How was your weekend?!@?!?
(Warning, I am going to get all deep/emotional/pissed/maybe mature at the end with all of you)
In many ways seeing this picture makes me feel like crying. Fuck that, a little piece of me dies inside. The hope, I had that plus size modeling was FINALLY going in the right direction is painfully leaving my body. I know this may seem a little dramatic to you, but I looked up to her like the older sister I never had. It is WRONG for me to be so disappointed in her like this all because of her size.
I mean, we have no idea what is going on in her life. She was recently divorced, I bet she is under a lot of pressure of keeping curves alive. All of this pressure on one girl?! Who had an eating disorder? Who knows it could be a relapse? Or it could be she is working out more? It is just hard to believe that she did it in a healthy way, because (while looking thin) Crystal’s agent said she was a 12 when walking for Chanel a MONTH ago. Now she is a two?!?!?!? I mean seriously?
I just don’t know how to feel right now, I wish I wasn’t as disappointed and heart broken. But I am. Everything I was working on achieving with modeling, is it even possible anymore? Does this mean that plus size models never really fit into the world of high fashion?
Crystal Renn is my number one idol. I wanted to be JUST like her, she modeled for Vogue, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana, Mark Fast, and Elena Miro. I read her book twice. She “gets” fashion, many other plus size models try to pull it off, and it simply doesn’t work. Like a girl who I worked with said “Chubby girls always have to smile”. I hate that. I don’t want to smile. I want to be different.
I am broken, It may take awhile for me to fix myself. I am worried about her. I am worried about plus size modeling. I am worried about what I want to be. Try not to get too mad at me for being harsh on her, I am just in a very horrible mood.
A skinny model friend of mine posted a picture today on facebook. Her ribs are jutting out and she put this statement “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels”. THIS BOTHERS ME SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I just recently was taking to her, so I almost take this personally. She probably doesn’t think I am going anywhere with my modeling… Whatever. She is signed with Elite though, so she is one step ahead of me.
I know that is a Kate Moss quote, but seriously. First of all, I eat very healthily compared to some other women. And I have NEVER been thin in my whole life. So basically what Kate Moss is saying is that she just doesn’t eat? Or she just has a quick metabolism?
It’s not so much the girl that makes me mad, its the statement.
Does this statement piss you off too?
Hello Ladies! (and gents)
The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim was in Miami this year. This is a start curvy women! I know it isn’t much but the girl on the right looks so much better than the girl on the left. The girl on the left looks a little too thin for my liking, and her face doesn’t look healthy.
What do you think? Be honest. Who looks better?
Whatever! At least skinny girls can’t look this good… I bet some girls wish they were curvier like us! So the feeling goes both ways! Let’s take pride in our curves ladies! Thank you Crystal Renn for inspiring me…
