Model Daisy Lowe: When you stand next to a beanpole, you’re going to look like a massive tree trunk | celebrity quotes beauty body image

22 year-old British model Daisy Lowe (who is allegedly 5’10” and 125 pounds) has a little body image quote for you:

‘It’s taken me seven years to get to the point where I can be comfortable with not being as thin as the rest of them.’

‘The public can say, “It’s really cool that you’re not conforming to this anorexic ideal”, but then I still have to go and stand next to all of the other girls. ‘I’m not saying that I am big, but when you stand next to a beanpole, you’re going to look like a massive tree trunk.

‘Literally, it’s only in the past six months that I’ve come to terms with it. Before then…it was hard. I used to have private meltdowns all the time.’

… says Daisy in InStyle Magazine.

Kim Kardashian: ‘I couldn’t care less if I was a size 14 or a size 4′

Kim Kardashian: I couldn’t care less if I was a size 14 or a size 4 | kim kardashian celebrity quotes

Kim Kardashian did Cosmopolitan UK this month, where she revealed her bikini body (again) and shared a lot of info on body size, body image, being curvy and having ‘flaws’:

It’s crazy anyone should assume that just because you’re in the spotlight, you’re flawless. Sometimes I pig out and I still feel great, and think, “That was so worth it!” That’s how I feel a lot of the time. I think, “See this little dimple of cellulite here? It was so worth it for that cookies ’n’ cream ice cream!”’

‘If I was stuck on a diet my whole life, I would be really miserable. I love to eat. If you can’t enjoy your life then what’s the point? You can’t torture yourself. I love Rice Krispies Treats, ice cream and frozen yogurt. I never aspired to be a size zero. Although one time I tried on a dress with a size-8 label when I thought I was a size 4. It turned out it was a UK size 8, so actually it was my normal size. But it made me think, “Why do I even care?” I couldn’t care less if it said 14. It’s just a number. Your best measure is to look in the mirror. I always say you shouldn’t weigh yourself. I don’t even have a set of scales in my house.’

‘I see ridiculous stories about my butt, like how it has been insured. I feel like saying, “Hey, everyone has a butt. It’s not that big a deal!” But I suppose it’s flattering. Personally, I’ve always loved the curvy look. Even when I was a little girl and all my friends would be like, “Oh, my god, your butt’s so big”. And I’d say, “I love it”.’

‘Khloé is super-tall, with great legs; Kourtney is tiny with a great stomach. We embrace the fact that no one is really alike. Our parents always made us feel like, “This is who we are, we’re all beautiful and this is exactly how we’re supposed to be”. We never had any pressure to look different and I think that’s why we’re so confident about it today. Kourtney would always make fun of me for having bigger boobs than she did. When you’re young, it’s embarrassing. Your body is changing and it’s scary. Then when I was 15, I realised it was great. I’ve never wished for smaller boobs since.’

 Hervé Léger Finds Todays Models Too Skinny, Too Sad | then and now skinny versus curvy battle hot models celebrity quotes body type clothes beauty body image

Fashion designer Herve Leger (who made bandage-dresses oh so popular) recently opened up about the top models today, calling them ‘too skinny, too sad’. Let’s hear what he had to say:

‘If I had to go back to catwalk presentations I would be in a panic… Already the models I find are too skinny, too sad. I knew the age of the super top models, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, who were always lively and smiling. Today you go between several défilés and you will see the exact same type of girl – it just doesn’t inspire me.’

Pictured: A comparison between the models of the 90′s (from 1993, to be exact) and today’s models, both in the super-popular ‘bandage’ Herve Leger dresses.
