Skinny VS Curvy

Tyra Banks just started a new campaign that focuses on extending the definitions of beauty. Because unlike what many media trends, Hollywood, pro-plastic surgery ideologies, Photoshop and others are intending to tell us on permanent or occasional basis , beauty DOES come in various forms, shapes, colors and sizes, it has infinite variations and infinite interpretations. Beauty is not a recipe that requires precise quantities of specific ingredients and it is not a pre-established, standardized formula that we all have to follow.

As Tyra says it, beauty is represented by one’s uniqueness and it is not something you can put inside a box. Let’s hear Tyra’s “PRO beauty diversity” message, straight from the source:

Women of every age, race, religion, and ethnicity have struggled in their lives with the narrow concept of beauty. The reason I created America’s Next Top Model was to show the world that girls of all kinds can be beautiful. Every girl’s unique look is important to me – from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain skinned, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between.

It’s not easy though because many people still put beauty into a confining, narrow box. So now, I’m asking women around the world to make a pledge to expand their definition of beauty. To put all types of beauty into the spotlight.  Think outside of the box. It’s time for you to celebrate and help redefine beauty. Let’s rejoice and embrace “non-traditional beauty”.   Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you. I also ask that you spread love and positive beauty messages to others. Tell your friend, family member or even a stranger that their atypical features are flawless.

What do you guys think of this initiative?

OK, here’s another one of those silly little articles that features massive revelations: Celebrity Bra Sizes!

Pam Anderson, DD
Though the former Playboy playmate and Baywatch star, 42, received a breast reduction in 1999, it didn’t take long for Anderson to go back under the knife to restore her famous DD bra size.

Tyra Banks, 34DD
The supermodel and talk show host, 35, maintained her 34DD bust even after losing nearly 30 pounds. “I feel good about my curves and my imperfections — my booty, my boobs, my thighs — I embrace it all,” she says.

Jessica Simpson, DD
“Jessica never tries to be sexy. She just is sexy,” the 29-year-old singer’s dad, Joe, told GQ of his oldest daughter. “If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she’s sexy in both. She’s got double D’s! You can’t cover those suckers up!”

Dolly Parton, DD
Parton, 63, had to postpone her 2008 North American concert tour under a doctor’s orders to rest her sore back, which resulted from the weight of her DD breasts. “You lug these around and see if your back don’t hurt!” the country singer Tweeted.

Angelina Jolie, 36C
Jolie, 34, admitted that she pumped up her bust — using prosthetics — while filming 2001′s action flick Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. “I’m a 36C. Lara, she’s a 36D. It was like having a padded bra,” she has said of the enhancement. “But no, I am not flat chested anyway.”

Heidi Montag, 32C
The Hills star, 23, who wore a skimpy white bikini on the cover of September’s Playboy, says she went “shopping for boobs” before her 2007 augmentation. “I wanted the best, so I sat down and flipped through a bunch of Playboys [for inspiration],” she revealed to the magazine. “Those girls are hot!”

Heidi Klum, C
Though she’s sitting out this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion show (NOT), the mom of four, 36, has donned three “Fantasy” multi-million dollar bras for the annual runway walk. “I’ve got great knockers!” Klum once gushed in a TV commercial for the event.

Christina Aguilera, E
The singer, 28, who welcomed son Max in January 2008, revealed that bigger bustline came from breast-feeding. “It’s kind of hilarious! I’ve never fit into an E-cup before,” she tells Us. “I look at my husband and go, ‘Guess what size this bra is?’”

Scarlett Johansson, C
In 2008, Johansson saw first-hand how her breasts were received, when E! red carpet host Isaac Mizrahi groped her live on-camera. “It was definitely in poor taste,” Johansson, 24, later told the L.A. Times. “Someone who I have never met before fondle[d] me for his own satisfaction.”

Some of these are pretty old and pretty silly – for example, Christina wore an E cup bra right after she gave birth.

And how about including some A and B cups in there?

Tyra Banks (who lost over 20 pounds in the past months) just started a new movement “Get Your Shape in Shape!” and she’s dedicating an entire show to it. OK Magazine reports:

Tyra announced she will be dedicating the entire hour to answering audience questions and providing step-by-step tips on her new, healthy lifestyle.

“This is not a diet, I do not believe in diets, I have been on diets in the past they are a bunch of bologna, this is a lifestyle change,” Tyra says to her audience. “It’s not about being skinny, it’s about getting in the best shape that you can be. This is a Tyra Show movement.”

“If I can do it and love to lay up and not work out and I love me some BBQ ribs and some ice cream and some Haagen Daaz, I can do this and you can do this and still eat what you want, just not every second,” adds Tyra in her pep talk. “It is time to get your shape in shape!”

Tyra said she is proud to have lost weight the healthy way while maintaining her “34DD boobies and her round booty.”

What do you guys think about this?

I know that Tyra Banks has been losing weight for a while now (with a little help from SATC) and these are the final (or not?) results.

Looking very modelesque again!

Tyra is a fan of ever-changing hairstyles, so how do you feel about these luscious locks right here?

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.
