Skinny VS Curvy

Mike and Molly‘s Melissa McCarthy, also famous for Gilmore Girls and Bridesmaids has 2 little quotes for you today:

“Trying to find stuff that’s still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible. It’s either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle.”

“The stupid stuff like what I wear or how I look I can’t control, so I just try not to give too much energy to it. At 20, I would have been like: ‘Don’t they like me? Was it my hair?’ At 41, I think the things that define me, I hope, are a lot more than those kinds of petty things.”

23 year-old professional dancer Lacey Schwimmer (So You think You can Dance, Dancing with the Stars) is the latest celebrity to reveal her size – let’s see the full story from In Touch:

“As a dancer, you are supposed to look a certain way,” she explains during an exclusive photo shoot with In Touch. And while the 23-year-old certainly developed thicker skin over the years, she is not immune to bullying. Recently ridiculed for how she looked in a pair of high-waisted jeans, Lacey quickly became the subject of cruel taunts online.

“There are so many blogs and websites hating on me,” she says. “When people start talking – even if I don’t agree with what they’re saying – it definitely affects you.”

It’s easy to see why, especially considering that Lacey suffered a debilitating eating disorder when she was 13 that withered her already tiny body to a size o. Weighing just 98 pounds and living on six slices of turkey a day – combined with hours of dancing – Lacey shares, “My hair was falling out and my skin was gray. It was a really bad time.” Though she recovered at age 15, during a 2009 interview with In Touch, the dancer revealed that she will “always battle” with her weight.

Now a healthy size 4, Lacey… refuses to cover her body in shame over the “mom jeans” scandal. In fact, she promises to reveal her taut stomach more than ever this season… “I have boobs, I have a huge butt and I have a lot of muscle,” says says. “I like having curves – I’m proud of them!”

P.S.: Lacey is 5’3” / 160 cm tall.

“There’s no way I’d have had sex when I was that fat… I would have died.”

“I see a lot of overweight women whose men must like the way they look, and I think they must be comfortable in their skin.”

“But even when I was skinny, I thought I was too fat for sex.”

“I’ve had about four days in my entire life when I’ve looked at myself and thought: ‘You are so ready to have sex right now, you can just walk into the room and flaunt it.’”

“And on those days, I was probably drunk!”

Former plus-size model Crystal Renn made a golden  appearance at the opening night of the 2011 Metropolitan Opera Season in New York last night, where she revealed, once again, her slim figure.

Even though Crystal has lost a lot of weight during the last 2 years, she was once famous for saying:

‘I don’t want young women to think being thin is the only way to be beautiful. Beauty is not a pant size. I’m known for my body and I’m proud of my (plus-size) body.’

And because it never gets old, here’s a little comparison: Crystal in 2010 on the left and this week on the right.

On Her Body Image: I’m a female! I totally have body dysmorphic disorder. I think most women do. A make-up artist friend once said “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look in a mirror.” I’m surrounded by them all the time – you sit in hair and make-up – so I guess I just have this mechanism where I tune it out. So every once in a while, I’ll look and I’ll be like, “Wait, that’s what I look like?” I just have to remember that I’m human, and I’m a mom. Being a parent changes the vanity at least a little bit. It has to. Your priorities are different.

… says Sarah Michelle in Health Magazine.
