Crystal Renn Gets Her Groove On (Video)
August 26, 2010 in Crystal Renn, Hot Models by Versus
Former plus-size model, current slim girl Crystal Renn stars in a short video posted on Ford Model’s blog – but instead of modeling, Crystal is showing us her dance moves while wearing a tight beige bodysuit. Ford says:
A peach video featuring Crystal Renn shot by photographer Skye Parrott on set for the new Canadian fashion glossy The Block. With a run-time of only 24 seconds Crystal gets down and boogies to a funky beat wearing a VPL bodysuit. No graphics, no pretext, just Crystal dancing. Day-um!
Watch the video of Crystal getting her groove on, then share your thoughts!
Rhythmless wild flailing lol But some of her moves were alright
Omg hahahahahaha I know absolutely nooo rythm!
what the? her dancing had absolutely NOTHING to do with the music in the background!
Her body looks really good though. And even though she has lost weight, she is not nearly as thin as runway/print models usually are, so I think she should stay at her current weight.
Hehe
I like it! It’s not sexy at all, but it’s goofy
She’s certainly quite tiny weight wise. Shape-wise though, nothing enviable at all. A very unremarkable chest and WHR. Her face leaves a lot to be desired too. She’s definitely a product of hype IMO.
i agree. she was getting a lot of attention for being plus-sized and going against the skinny trend. that attitude was what got her the attention, not her face, which i’d say is average. now that she’s at an average/slim weight, she doesn’t really hold anything special
You of course realize model are supposed to be average and almost plain. High fashion anyway. They like a face that’ll work with lots and lots of different makeup. If you have a distinct look, it’s hard to work with.
WELL DAMN. And now Crystal Renn, “plus sized model” is officially thinner than I am, I think. FML. That liar–hiking in Argentina over Christmas did NOT do that.
yeah I thought the same lol. She’s thinner than me now
She doesn’t look plus size to me!
I think the same. It’s sick that girls think of her as a “big” woman. It’s sooo sick.
She WAS a plus sized model but she lost a lot of weight.
I don’t really get it. The dance, the video or the body suit. And about her weight loss: She said that the hiking got her interested in physical activity and fitness again. So if it’s true she’s probably just more active now. But I’m still not sure. I’m curious to see what happens to her body in the future.
Yea I also read that she has now started to incorporate exercise into her lifestyle which makes her weight loss make sense.
I wouldn’t say she is a plus size model anymore- more of an in-between of the two extremes. She looks like an average women which I think is a good thing because more women can then relate to her and begin to avoid the pressure of the super thin trend
Exercise doesn’t necesarily make you lose weight, it really depends on your diet, so she must be eating less. Pity, I really liked her story.
oh my god. she lost so much weight.. what about the “i’m proud of being plus size”?
She probably was proud of being plus-sized. It was part of her recovery from an eating disorder.
Then when she felt ready, she decided to introduce healthier eating and exercising to her life, in a proper way. That’s why she lost weight. I think this is closer to where her natural, healthy size is.
I just hope she doesn’t experience temptations to slip into disordered eating habits again.
Love your comment. You said it best!
Agree with you, but you got to admit, this definetly makes a weaker message, but if she is happy and healthy, thats really good for her.
I agree, having struggled with and ED for 7 years, I’m scared for her. 80% of recovering anorexics relapse at some point. I’ve relapsed 3 times. Each time it was triggered by trying to “get healthy” at first, exercising and eating healthy, and then you just slip slowly into eating less and less.
But, she seems like she is a lot stronger body-image wise now than I ever was. She seems like she could be in the 20% who never relapse. And I strongly hope that is the case! I send her my best wishes as I’ve been in that position before. Gaining a lot of weight after going through recovery and having to be careful about losing it and getting healthy without over doing it. It’s hard.
Alright not gonna lie thay was just a little bit strange but whatevs it’s all good.
haha agree.Its made worse by how seriously shes taking it. Its left me a bit confused. Her body looks alright though.
she is suck at dancing but she lost weight yeah!
I think its more unhealthy and misleading when they try to promote “love your body” and “say no to eating disorder” messages to women with someone like Crystal Renn.
She is like a Yo Yo, first she was a size zero, then the plummeted up to Size 12, and now she is back to Size 6.
Her skin is going to get all ugly and flabby if she continues to gain and lose like a yoyo.
I just think she is a complete hypocrite. She losses and gains weight just to obtain more jobs as a model, and then blabbers on about being “plus sized”.
YES! that was what I was thinking. Don’t think she’s a good role model
I believe she became plus-sized after being anorexic (beating it?), then got back down to a healthy-size now that she’s re-introduced moderate (not psychotic) exercise back into lifestyle. maybe she is a role model after all? finding the healthy one and yet being public with her struggles (or whatever you’d like to call that part of her life)?
When you’re recovering from an eating disorder, you really can’t eat healthy or exercise, because if you’re not ready for it, you just go back to an eating disorder.
She spent a long time recovering, and now she was finally ready to live healthy again without being ill.
So I wouldn’t say it’s exactly yo-yoing, because the single yo-yo was necessary and expected.
Oh and I thin she is a good role model, simply because she appears to be someone who has successfully overcome an eating disorder and learned to be healthy without being obsessive.
you are jumping to an awful lot of conclusions there. if she has had an eating disorder losing a lot of weight could very well suggest that she has relapsed. you don’t wake up emaciated there are steps along the way, and she isn’t going to admit to them if she is in the grips of the disease.
this is one of the many problems with citing people in the media as role models for things like weight and eating, you simply have no idea how they live their life, and rely on guesswork and quotes, half of which are them saying what they have been told to say.
I am not sure if she has/has overcome her eating disorder.
What is certain – She has been getting lots of attention and becoming very popular due to her “plus sized” and probably got more jobs that she ever did when she was a size 0.
Good for her, but bad image to the rest of the girls. she is saying “I am not sure what I want to be, but as long as I get enough modelling jobs and I lose/gain weight according to other people’s demand, I’ll stick to that”.
Let’s say someone comes to her and says “you can have the job if you are a size 8″, then she’ll stuff herself full till she is a size 8.
Then someone else comes and says “You’ll get the job if you were a size 2, then she’ll start doing whatever to be a size 2 within a few weeks”.
I think she’s a bitch. Making profit on her story about how she’s a plus size model, and right now, she’s lost so much weight that she doesn’t even have boobs anymore.
I think she’s pathetic. No ideals at all. Don’t trust her.
Give the girl a break.
Anorexia is a serious disease that never really goes away.
Maybe she’s relapsed.
Maybe not.
If she has, can you really say that she’s pathetic?
Haha! Thanks for that Versus; there’s something quite cheery about it!
I think she’s adorable. And she actually is on rhythm. I just think she’s getting older and finding her niche. She may have gained too much in the beginning and now its stabilizing into what it should be. Why hate her? I agree the runway should have different sizes, but she shouldn’t have to be either a 0 or 12 just make people happy.
I’m soooo tired with that girl !
Ok I gave up paying attention to crystal posts because she bores the heck out of me, but I wanted to see the dancing lol I was enticed, and wow! looking at her body here, she looks probably slimmer than most of the girls I know (who are slim/healthy)! this time, its a video, so they can’t claim its “angles” and photoshop making her look thinner can they? If she hadn’t been so vocal about her body before being her natural size and how she loved it soooo much and “this is what real women look like” and blah blah blah, then people would simply be saying she looks great, but instead she’s just revealed herself as a hypocrite and a fake. Though actually, if she hadn’t milked the whole “plus-size women = real women, say no to zero” bs to the media, then no one would really know/care who she is, coz lets face it, compared to other models out there, she isn’t very special to look at at all.
YES!
You all know that you dance like that too
she’s such a ipocrit
I’ve never liked her and I never will. She’s definitely not plus-size anymore, and I agree with everyone who says it was just an attention-stunt. It doesn’t matter if she wants to be a size 0, 6 or a 12.. but if she wants to be a real role-model she should stop making such a big deal out of herself and her weight.
she so isn`t plus size. period.
Lmfao! That was so odd yet strangely watchable kinda like chocolate rain on YouTube lol. She’s a beautiful woman bigger or smaller. I agree that she’s kinda dug her own grave with all that “love your curves” talk blah blah blah but most people I know yo yo with their weight through seasons and years. Not to say it’s healthy. But peoples bodies tend to look different depending on where they are in life. I know I tend to drop around 10lbs without any struggle when My life is full and I’m busy and altogether have no appetite for food because my appetite for life is filled. But hey that’s just me and the way my body works. Anyhoo. Back to crystal. I really don’t think she’s any different from the rest of celebs who claim to love their curves and then slim down ie Jennifer love hewitt Tyra Jennifer Hudson etc etc. I don’t think any of us can truly understand the amount of pressure these people are under to be thin. I can’t even fathom the criticizing my weight fluctuations
Tyra and Jennifer Hudson still got their curves, don’t get it twisted. JLH a little bit too. I think you meant to say ‘celebs who claim they love being at a bigger size.’ Because all 3 of them definitley did claiim that and then went to lose weight. But they still have curves…..
wow, she got really slim, far from plus size but i think she has the perfect bod better than any model ive ever seen she sdoesnt need ot lose anymore though…she looks like the perfect size 4/6 a real woman not too small and not too big…this is the size every model should be
*the world critizing my weight
She’s got really slim… Where are her boobs? I think I don’t like her anymore.
She insn’t sexy anymore… Her body looks slim, yeah, but not sexy. I mean, you can be slim and sexy (Hillary Duff is slim and sexy)… But Crystal has absolutly nothing to offer now…She’s lost her “wow”.
I completely miss the point of this video! Ô_o
She’s thin, she dances badly, that suit is horrid. And?
what on earth is she wearing? who is dressing her?
just awful
she has lost her curves along with her weight, i think she looked at her best when she walked the runway for chanel
Even when we see that she lost a lot of weight, I dont think that she looks HEALTHY or SLIM. Look at her skin at her waist when shes dancing! She lost a lot but now her skin is hanging on her body. Thats not good. I agree that this is Yo-Yo effect. All that height-things shes talking about – is the worst message to girls which look at her as the role model!
*weight-things
of course
Wow. So Crystal loses weight (and she’s definitely no smaller than a size six here- I’m as tall as she is and a six and look thinner-duh) and everyone turns against her? It must be mostly fat women who look at this blog because the way ya’ll turned like vipers on her shows a lot of insecurity. Give her a break. She looks good.Or does someone have to be fat for you to accept them? YOU guys are the hypocrites.
how are we hypocrities? I never bought the hype with crystal renn, never liked the stuff she said (attacking thin women, acting like plus size are the only “real women”) and then she goes and loses weight which makes her even more laughable to those of us that have never been a fan of her and her constant talking about “real women”.
Btw making comments like “you all must be fat” just sounds really childish. Sure, we must all be “fat” if we dont like crystal renn. Ok. Whatever you say.
I dont like her and Im skinny. She is a hypocrite. I never liked the way she would advocate plus size and lose weight. When she lost weight to a size 10 she was thin in my eyes but the industry still called her plus size. Well, they cant anymore because she lost even more weight! Like the girl above me said, how can you advocate a specific size then turn around and lose all the weight, making you not that size anymore? She’s a hypocrite. I dont care what anyone says.
How can you? maybe cause youre human and you don’t owe the world anything? just cause youre a model doesnt mean that you have to look the way they advocated you if she wants to be thinner then she wants to be thinner whats the big deal?
firslty i am not envious on her, i don’t have any reason to be…but i think this video was her way to draw the attention on her new self…so, i think this is rather gross ( the way she did it)…good for her that she lost weight and i hope she feels comfy in her own skin, but it wasn’t necessary to make it public through some weird dance moves
Besides being a hypocrit and a terrible role model, she has SUCH AN AWFUL FIGURE! I’ve no idea why they keep hiring her, look at her refrigerator waist, unexistent boobs, flabby skin, etc! Maybe she had a nice figure when she was plus-size, cause you can see being thin doesn’t favor her body AT ALL!
totally agree with you!!!!
She look great, dancing eh not so much. lol cute though…probably got some great shots out of it.
I get her body…you enjoy a few creamy seasoned dishes, and you gain. Put in a bit of activity and watch the cream, bread, cheese and boom you loose. She falls back and forth between an 8 (my guess) and 12-14. I totally get it. It’s so easy to do because my body does it. Then I lift weights, by body narrows but no weight loss cause I pack on muscle like Serena.
Regardless, in her industry she is still a ‘plus size’. I don’t think she’s a hypocrite at all because she didn’t return to her unhealthy life style of starvation to get skinny, she just got active.
HOW IS SHE CONSIDERED PLUS SIZE!!???
I think her body is at a perfect size right now. She shouldn’t lose anymore though. This is the kind of body a lot of women (not all) can relate too. Before I think she was both too thin and too fat.
she is not a plus size anymore, but she looks great!! If I were her I’d keep the good work to maintain it. It’s hard to achieve our ideal body, and Crystal goes through this in front of everybody.
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like the girl from ‘Love Story’??
She totally does! I never noticed that before.
i thought that the first moment i saw her
I don’t know why but I hate looking at this. I guess something about her bugs me.
The only thing I have to say on this post is that I think it’s really sick that someone who has finally learned how to be healthy correctly, and is applying it, is being ripped apart for doing it.
I guess people are pissed off because she used to claim she was proud of being plus-sized, but did it ever occur to you that she was saying it because she wanted to make herself believe it, so that she wouldn’t become anorexic again? She was trying to tell herself and others that being bigger was okay, and better than being anorexic, which in her case it was.
So I’m sure she WAS proud of being plus-sized, because to her plus-sized > anorexic.
The point isn’t that she is now “healthy”, of course no one wants her anorexic- The point is she still claims she did not lose weight and is plus sized when she obviously is not…. If she came out and said the truth maybe plp would cut her a break but when you build you public persona on a belief (ie I am proud to be plus size, I don’t worry about weight etc) even selling a book about it, and then as soon as you gain some fame for it you start dropping weight but still claiming to be proud to be plus size you automatically will be criticized for being hypocritical….period….
And for the record if she was, as you state, tellign herself bigger is better, that means she didn’t really believe it, which means she was/is lying.
well said Jen. People just don’t like to have rubbish crammed down their throats, celebs are like politicians sometimes, they just say whatever they think will win them favour, and when we see the lies, its like, please “shut up already”. She put herself up on a podium so she’s opened the floodgates to criticism. People aren’t saying she should force herself to be overweight, they just dont like the attitude, its not “sick”.
Also I think a lot of people took issue with the way she felt she had to relentlessly bash on skinny women in order to promote herself. A lot of people on this site hate the whole “real women” fad, coz come on, we are ALL real women.
snoops, I understand that people don’t like rubbish shoved down their faces, but how do you know it’s rubbish?
Is it only possible to love and be proud of your body at a certain weight? Can I only like myself when I am X amount of pounds? If I am X+10 or X-10, it’s not allowed, because then I’m bullsh**ing?
Is it not possible that she likes both her bigger body and this body, for different reasons? Her bigger body having symbolised her recovery from anorexia, and her current body symbolizing healthy habits?
And you make it sound like normal people don’t vary in how they feel about themselves on a day to day basis. We all have our good days and our bad days. We all have the days where, “I love myself despite my pudge!” and the days where we say, “Oh I’m going to get rid of this pudge!”
Just because she got caught in print during her (normal) attitude changes doesn’t mean she’s a horrible human being, who constantly sits and plots how to win favor with people. She just happened to get asked those questions by the media, and answered them to the extent of how she felt at that time.
Sometimes that can annoy me too, but for her I feel like it’s part of a bigger thing…a long road to recovery from a very horrible illness. So I am willing to excuse her more than others, because in her case, it’s understandable.
“The point is she still claims she did not lose weight and is plus sized when she obviously is not”
No she doesn’t. In the most recent interview I saw of her, she specifically stated that she lost weight because she’s eating healthier and exercising, since she feels ready for it.
And I don’t think she’s perpetrating the plus-sized label so much as the media is, because at the peak of her career, she WAS a plus-sized model.
“And for the record if she was, as you state, tellign herself bigger is better, that means she didn’t really believe it, which means she was/is lying.”
Maybe I didn’t word it correctly, but that’s not what I was saying. What I was saying, at that point in her life, it was either anorexia or being bigger. I think being bigger for her was equated with overcoming anorexia, so she WAS proud of it. And she probably did like being bigger rather than starving herself.
The only difference now is that she realized there is a way to eat healthy and work out without being anorexic. So she lost some weight. But if you think an anorexic in the early-stages of recovery is aware of that, you’re sadly mistaken.
maybe in the early stages of recovery she shouldn’t have been putting herself so squarely in front of the camera. she was the head of a giant campaign against size zero, moreover if as you suggest she is still on the road to recovery she may well be less than healthy whatever she is saying. anorexics lie to everyone including themselves about what is going on, and i know plenty who have swung up and down several times before getting better. maybe she should be focusing on getting healthy not getting attention, as her illness is mental more than it is physical and if you allow that she has influence/is a role model, then her mixed messages could be damaging.
I agree. I’ve said numerous times on other posts about her that I don’t think it’s a good idea for her to be modeling as a recovering anorexic. But her life, her choice.
And yes, she could actually just be relapsing. Hopefully she isn’t. But so far, there is nothing that suggests she is. What she is saying and how she looks coincides with the normal recovery process of someone with an eating disorder. So for now, I am giving her the benefit of the doubt.
I just don’t get public opinion sometimes. Tear a person apart because they suffer from anorexia, but then tear them apart when they’re in the process of recovering. It makes no sense.
SOrry, but I don’t think she ever claimed to not have lost weight, but claimed that it was not intentional weight loss, she just happened to take up hiking and got slender as a result.
Also, i don’t think she ever proclaimed that ‘bigger is better’ (though I don’t think that was her motto anyways (why are people constantly putting words in mouths or creating their own quotes)), but rather that she was not going to starve herself to be the ideal model weight/shape.
That was… bizarre.
Wow,she got so tiny. Seriously, look at her waist and even thighs which used to be quite big.
It’s ok if she wants to be slim but she’s not a good role model. She promoted healthy body image, being happy in your own skin no matter what. Now the weight loss (and quite extreme one!) proves she wasn’t happy and content being a curvy girl. I’m just curious to see how small she will get. From a person who had an eating disorder in the past it would be no surprise if she got really skinny again.
everyone who´s still calling her “plus size” is definitely crazy or ill.
look at her! she lost so much weight…
i used to like her because she gave heavier woman courage and a better feeling about themselves.
but now it all seems hypocritical and fake!
i guess she´s now slimmer than me and most of the other (healthy and slim!) girls i know and talks about her “plus size” career.. come on.. she only wanted to have attention and unfortunately she got it.
Wow if she is plus sized my self esteem just took a major hit-
Sorry she succumbed to the pressures she talked about not wanting to give into to- she is full of it! She got more famous so she lost weight, sorry I read her book, used to admire her, but now I find her to be hypocritical.
Wow this made me cringe. Worst part is that I bet she thinks she looks ‘cool’. Definitely lost weight. Bet she regrets making such a big deal out of it in the first place idiot.
thinks she looks cool? she’s a MODEL. She look the way they tell her to look, acts the way they tell her to act.
That’s dancing? Looks more like she’s having a epileptic attack…
Wow, you guys are just rife with bitterness. Crystal looks healthier than ever. NO ONE can say she was “healthier” when she was larger, because she was HUGE. She mentioned that she’s started working out again and it shows. Don’t be bitter or blame your OWN lack of self-confidence on Crystal because she has gotten into better shape. She’s doing what’s best for her and that’s all she can do. I suggest you people do the same thing, stop being so bitter.
agree
I’d like to see a skinny model do that
I’m not sure she has lost weight healthily as she doesn’t look that toned… seems like she has been dieting but not exercising. The thigh bit of the thing she’s wearing is too tight…
she looks like a fat girl dancing, but she is skinny.
i guess you dont forget how fat felt with a quickness. she is cute though
Not all fat people are automatically horrible dancers, just as not all thin people are good dancers. So she just dances like someone who really can’t dance.
as a dancer it makes me feel awkward to watch people who can NOT dance.
haha her dancin is awful, very white girl thing. Her boobs are so small now, i dont think she is a plus size model or a regular one, she is just a normal tall girl with a pretty face but nothing special
I would love to watch this video, but every time I go to play it, some stupid ad is playing in the background! I’ve disabled so many of these ads it’s ridiculous, but they keep popping up. Seriously Versus, fix this issue, and stop using the excuse that you’ve requested that they not be put on here. I own 2 websites online, and have requested that these ads not be placed on our websites, and they never have been; super easy. Seriously, I think you get enough requests for this to get the issue resolved! wish I could watch the video…rant over….
You are mean… and I really don’t deserve it.
How is that mean. I was trying to bring an obvious issue to light. I thought by posting this; as others on here have done, that it might catch your attention to maybe remove those ads. No offense to you or your site. I enjoy visiting, it’s just that those ads detour me from viewing a lot of your content.
I agree. They are super annoying. If I forget to turn off javascript before coming here, it’s a whole big pain in the butt.
Susan and Anon – GET AD BLOCK.
There, issue over. You will not only see no video ads, you will se no ads whatsoever.
Versus is nice enough to answer posts, which I rarely see in blogs and has been gracious about other requests.
I have ad block. You have to physically block all of the ads that pop up! So case not solved. Everything is current and up to date on my computer. Constructive criticism never hurt anyone. Sorry, but get over it people. Of all the things that are said on this site, you found mine to be rude and offensive. You guys should do a bit more reading on this site…I wasn’t half as “mean” as some of the people on here; in quotes, because, I didn’t consider my comment “mean”.
Wow, how rude. Since you own 2 websites, you must LOVE when random idiotic visitors stop by and tell you that you suck.
I never said that anyone sucked. In fact I enjoy this website very much. I think you may have read into this a bit much.
If you are so internet savvy you would know that all you have to do is hit the “pause” button on the ads and then you would have absolutely no problem watching the video.
I think you are missing the point. Having to press pause each time I view a page is a bit annoying; not the end of the world but annoying at that (not the first to say this by the way). Especially when the mod consistently states that they’ve requested they be removed.
You’re overreacting.
It annoys me too, but I can simply pause the video.
It’s not so much of an inconvenience that I won’t watch the video or I won’t visit the website.
By the way, maybe no one wants to go to your websites. Ads are different depending on the region. Maybe versus gets more views and therefore has more and more diverse ads than you do. How does she (they) know what region they play in and what ad it is?
They know because they pay for them…trust me. And I wasn’t over-reacting, I was simply commenting sarcastically on something I found a bit annoying; obviously not the 1st time I’ve paused/stopped the videos, I’m not dumb people, I just like clean websites that aren’t littered with these pesky ads. They can be easily removed; again, I’m not the only one who’s commented on this.
I don’t feel like logging in but feel the need to say your comment is incredibly rude.
There is a reason this website is so popular. If your rant were evenly remotely sensible, we wouldn’t all be here.
By the by, it’s just a video of a model dancing – relax! You’re not going to die.
Again, my comment was obviously read into, way too much. Bringing a technical issue to light isn’t rude. As a consistent user of this site; and a business owner as well, I felt that by commenting, it may help by making the site a bit more user friendly. You all seem very sensitive.
LMFAO Did you even read back your comment???
“Seriously Versus, fix this issue, and stop using the excuse that you’ve requested that they not be put on here.”
WTF thats is completely rude!!!
Mmmm…. Not that much…. But maybe it’s a cultural gap…..
I think that my be what it is…a cultural gap…because honestly, I meant no offense! I really just wanted to bring the issue to light in a way that would get it attention; worked obviously, so that the issue got resolved!
I’ve seen several people on here complain about the ads, and people always say get ad block, but what if you have all of those things? Those ads still pop up until you physically disable the source; which is not hard, but annoying.
As stated before, my comment was made as criticism that was taken the wrong way. I was only suggesting the ads get fixed to allow the site to be more user friendly.
*may
I’m European, so i’m not shocked when you express yourself like you did. But maybe in US, they need to be more… Mmmm… like “softer” ? I don’t know. Anyway, I understand you and I understand Versus too. It’s just a misunderstanding in the end of the day. I’m sure no one of you are mean
I hate to tell you this, but this is a free website. I don’t know where you’re from, but around here there’s a saying called “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”. This is a great website, totally free for us as I mentioned, so stop complaining already. Or get a better adblock, mine stops any ads just fine.
You really think she sucked at dancing? i actually thought she was rather good.
These videos come out every once in awhile to show how a particular model moves in front of the camera. Hopefully raises the model’s profile and gets her booked more. Don’t treat it as a dance audition.
On the other hand, Crystal is a much older model now, one has to assume that throughout her career she’s learned and matured. So if that weight is lighter than it is before, there is really no need to be so surprised. I don’t think it is realistic to expect people to always maintain the exact same weight and muscle tone ratio. I am really puzzled by how venomous some of the responses in this post are.
actually, I don’t think it is UNreasonble to maintain the same weight and muscle tone ratio throughout your adult years. If you consistently lead a healthy lifestyle, then your body should always stay the same, more or less. The problem is that most people have a hard time maintaining a good diet and exercise regimen, so their weight fluctuates, which believe it or not is not a good thing for one’s health.
I’m really over hearing about her…she’s not skinny enough to be a normal runway model, but she’s not exactly “plus-sized” either. She has a pretty face, but nothing overly special. In essence she is just an average pretty girl being hyped up by the media. [Someone above me has probably already said all of this.]
at dewi,
girl, snap out of it. dont come here and act all ”im so glad im better than all of you evil people”
you can be an a-s-s too when you feel like it, it might not be right here,but somewhere, sometime !
she looks good, definitely not plus size anymore but she is healthy and her career is doing well so no complaints. no comment on the dancing haha but then again i’m sure i look no better dancing around my room
Why she dances like a dork?
Well, they’ll have to stop referring to her as ‘plus size’ won’t they?
She just looks like a regular commercial model now.
omfg lol :O im scarred for life……
Why the f are “scarried for life”? Not your style of dance? Psh
i think now she should promote herself as middle-size model or smth….we have zero and plus-size models and she can be smth like a middle
I think she was too big at her heaviest. Now she is perfect.
Lmao @ everyone saying she can’t dance.
I think she looks amazing. She actually looks healthy now. While she was always attractive at her heavier weights, I don’t think her BMI fell into the healthy category. Now she looks like a healthy, active girl. I would think that her current figure IS a figure that we should all aspire to be. It doesn’t require starving, nor does it mean we have to engorge ourselves with fattening food. I like it, and I hope we see more models falling into this normal range.
I agree with Erin she was too big before and always has had a very pretty face. I was really suprised to see how much weight she lost. She looks awesome the best she has looked. Also good for her for doing a silly dance in front of the camera alot of people would be too shy to do this. I thought it was cute!
Good for her! I read her book, and she was talking about how she learned how to eat normally. I thought to myself, “if that were really the case, you wouldn’t be overweight.” but I guess it really is the case, b/c she’s not overweight anymore. she looks great, and I’m glad for her. this is the best way to be and no-one would deny that — neither too thin nor overweight, but slim, attractive, and healthy.
Hey can you tell me the name of her blog ?
whatever, so she is size 8 now, theres are lots of skinny models and some plus size models but not enough women in the middle in the industry. As a size 8 I’d like to be represented too.
From an interview last month:
True, she has lost some weight: Since her debut as a plus-sized model, she’s shed 25 pounds. “I thought it was as great a time as ever to start taking care of myself and reintroducing exercise back into my life,” she said, adding that one perk of being a plus model is that she doesn’t have to kill herself to remain within the tight constraints of one size. “You can be a size 8 all the way up to a 20, and that offers a lot of freedom. With what I do, I can fluctuate, as opposed to what I had to do before.”
This is how it is:
1. She had an eating disorder
2. She no longer does
3. She looks really healthy
4. She never would call herself plus size, that is an industry term to anyone over size 4. Even if they are 5’10
5. She may gain/lose a little weight, she will always be considered ‘plus size’. This is not her choosing
6. She will look healthy REGARDLESS, so it doesn’t matter
7. She is an average dancer
i looooove her! she makes me wanna dancee! size 12, 10, 6 or 0 girl is hot and smart. I really like her.
She’s lost sooooo much weight!
Hmmm… well it seems to me like she’s no longer a plus size/curvy model…. just an average weight girl who needs to tone up a bit. In my mind a model SHOULD represent an ideal, not an everyday person… but that ideal should be either slim (like “traditional” models) or almost over the top curvy and “womanly” (think Christina Hendricks). She just looks like she’s… lost.
lol, that dancing was mad funny
I’d say good for her on the weight loss. It is doing her really well. She just has to get out of the “plus size” mentality and stop making a big deal about being “plus size”.
She should be going after the advantages of going from plus size to a healthy size. The benefits for your health, body, mental state, and of coarse her career.
…im confused
Funny, a plus size model is actually smaller than Bar Refaeli. She looks good anyways.
For me, she’s not a model anymore!
She said before that she was proud of being a plus-size model, but what about now? The teens and woman that loved her, right now should be crazy about their weight, because of Cristal’s weight loss.
(Sorry about my english, I’m Portuguese)
Your english is perfect:)
I disagree about people copying crystals behavior and feeling bad that she lost weight.
I mean, why should anyone want to imitate her anyway? People ought to be more concerned about looking after themselves. I would hate my self view to ever come down to the level where i would have to look to a celebrity-model to judge my own physique.

I thought her dancing was cute too. usually during editing different music is used because of copyrights and stuff. the video editor was the one off beat in this case. she’s a better dancer than most people i see in the clubs.
No, she is not an average woman. Average women have tits. <_< She used to be such a beautiful plus size model and now she is just, she has let me down so hard.
