Skinny VS Curvy

After V Magazine’s Size Issue, here comes another “pro diversity” message (or so they say): Love Magazine put 8 naked supermodels on their covers and posted their measurements with the purpose of showing how different these “ideal bodies” really are.

“For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies — widely regarded as the most perfect in the world — and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover,” LOVE’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand told VOGUE.COM. “We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”

“The point is that ‘perfection’ is not fixed, timeless or transcendent,” Grand – who put Beth Ditto on the cover of the first ever issue of LOVE – explained. “It varies, as the measurements of our cover girls show.”

Are you getting the “perfection isn’t fixed” concept of this shoot? I mean, they all look super good, but they’re basically all tall, thin, supermodels… and even though the magazine tries to convince us “how much they differ physically from one another” , these girls are still all part of 1 tiny group: the tall, thin, almost-identical-measurements supermodel group.

Well, nothing screams “Different!” more than a group of 8 models, 5 with 34” hips and 3 with 35” hips’.

Kate Winslet Has the Most Desirable Body… says a new British poll. In case you missed it, Angelina is “The Beauty Icon of the Decade” and Megan fox is “The Sexiest” – we’ve got lots of polls these days!

Who else made the list?

The Top Ten “Desired” Bodies:
1. Kate Winslet – 16%
2. Kelly Brook – 15%
3. Halle Berry – 12%
4. Cheryl Cole – 10%
5. Beyonce – 6%
6. Megan Fox – 5%
7. Lily Allen – 4%
8. Keeley Hazell – 2%
9. Kate Moss – 1%
10. Katie Price – 1%
11. Victoria Beckham – 1%

Details from Daily Mail:

A survey has found that a fuller, curvy figures such as those belonging to Kate Winslet or Kelly Brook are back in fashion among women. Meanwhile, skeletal stars such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss have fallen out of favour, along with the surgically enhanced figure of Katie Price, aka glamour model Jordan.

Oscar winner Miss Winslet, 34 – who served sausages and mash at her first wedding and has spoken openly of the effects of motherhood on her body – topped the poll of 2,000 woman aged 18 or over, with 16 per cent of the votes.

Dr Jacquie Lavin, head of nutrition at Slimming World, which commissioned the YouGov poll, said: ‘It shows a positive shift that women are more likely to see Kate Winslet and Kelly Brook as the ideal body shape rather than Kate Moss or Victoria Beckham. It perhaps suggests that it is not being “skinny” that is most important to them anymore, it is being healthy. However, there still remains a great deal of pressure on women to conform to an unrealistic ideal and our survey showed that a massive 85 per cent of women are at least occasionally unhappy with their weight.’

So what do you guys think of this one?

At age 35, Kate Moss has a lengthy list of accomplishments to her name: supermodel, designer, perfume-maker, hair-care-product-creator, singer and mother. So what kinds of sayings does she remember in order to achieve success?

“There are loads,” Moss told WWD. “There’s ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.’ That’s one of them.” But at least she showed a hint of humanity, adding, “You try and remember, but it never works.”

Moss also talked about her mentors, namely her trusted friends who tell her “Oh no, Kate, that’s not a good look.” But she knows that beauty comes from the inside:
“It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.”

… says Kate in Huffington Post.

Anyone agrees / follows Kate’s motto?

Waxy Tyra is looking thin and cleavagey and even though they just released the figures, somehow waxy Kate looks 10 years younger than actual Kate (not trying to be mean).

Tyra looks kinda ok, though prettier in reality (see her on the next page!), but Kate on the other hand, needs:

* a wider mouth, a slightly stretched version of this one, yet somehow with a little more of her trademark pout

* a more defined chin

* a completely different nose

* droopier eyes.

P.S.: Doesn’t Waxy Kate look just a little like Blair Waldorf? Yes, Blair, not Leighton.
