Skinny VS Curvy

Despite an alarmingly thin frame, A-list stylist Rachel Zoe insists she doesn’t have an eating disorder.

The Rachel Zoe Project star, 38, drew stares when she walked the St. Bart’s shore in a bikini Jan. 8.

But Zoe – who attended the Beverly Hills Rimowa store opening Tuesday – tells E! News, “I’m here. I’m fine. I feel great, and I’m good.”

Dr. Fred Pescatore, author of The Hamptons Diet, estimates the 5-foot-1 Zoe weighs just 80 pounds. A Zoe pal is not surprised, telling UsMagazine.com: “She’s obsessed with being skinny. She never eats. If she does, it’s fat-free.”

But Zoe calls all the chatter “silly.”

“I’m going to go and eat dinner after this,” she tells E!.

Zoe has long slammed eating disorder rumors. She told Harper’s Bazaar last year that she doesn’t get why so many people give her a hard time.

“We’ve had Audrey Hepburn, we’ve had Twiggy, we’ve had Veruschka, we’ve had Kate Moss,” she said. “I’m trying to figure out why I am to blame for skinniness.

“Truthfully, I’ve never seen myself as being too thin,” she added. “Sometimes I’ll look at photos and be like, ‘Oh, that’s not a good look.’ But generally speaking, I’m not too thin.”

At high request, here is a comparison between 2 Jaime Kings, one less than 3 months ago, one a few days ago.

There’s a clear weight difference, spotted on legs, arms, face, overall. All this comes after Jaime lost a great amount of weight (until she reached scary skinny levels) last year.

For Jaime’s previous weight fluctuation, you must check out THIS post!

Rachel Zoe and her husband were spotted yesterday morning on the beach in St. Barts – and as we expected, Rachel looks very, very thin in a bikini (well, in a bikini bra). Of course, her position accentuates her thinness even more and also, her upper half is definitely skinnier than her bottom half.

I hope she is (will get) healthy!

After being bombed with “Scary Skinny!” comments last week as she was posing for a new campaign, Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr replied back:

‘The exaggerated poses for the shoot have made me appear thinner than normal from behind, but I am the same weight and measurements I have maintained for more than three years.

‘I am conscious of not only maintaining but promoting a healthy lifestyle and I wouldn’t be able to sustain the hectic nature of my modelling commitments if I wasn’t 100 per cent committed to feeding my body the food, vitamins and minerals it needs.’

OK, the title needs a little explanation. First, I meant to say “photoshopped until a skeletal, inhuman level”. More exactly, a few weeks ago, this Ralph Lauren ad popped online:

The model in the picture, Filippa Hamilton, does not look like that, she looks like in the first picture. No one looks like that. I tried and tried and failed to figure out what possessed the photoshopper to go till this extreme thinspiration-poster-child level.  The online response was clear: Ralph Lauren was wrong, the image was all wrong and the brand itself accepted that it was a “mistake” and apologized:

“After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman’s body,” Polo Ralph Lauren admitted.

But the story goes on. Guess what? Filippa was just fired… for being “overweight” (even though her BMI is technically underweight). New York Daily News reports:

Ralph Lauren’s clothing company fired the model whose body looked emaciated in a touched-up ad because she weighed too much, the woman told the Daily News Tuesday.

Filippa Hamilton – whose hips appeared slimmer than her head in the recent altered ad – said her contract was terminated in April because she was too heavy.

“They fired me because they said I was overweight and I couldn’t fit in their clothes anymore,” she said.

The 5-foot-10, 120-pound stunner was amazed to see her body digitally distorted for Ralph Lauren Blue Label.

“I was shocked to see that super skinny girl with my face,” she told the Daily News. “It’s very sad, I think, that Ralph Lauren could do something like that.”

Hamilton, 23, worked for Ralph Lauren since about 2002 and considered the company like a second family – until she was bounced.

Then out of nowhere last week, the altered ad – which appeared only in Japan – caused a sensation and drew the ire of critics who thought it appeared sickly and unrealistic.

Polo Ralph Lauren said in a statement Tuesday night that Filippa is a “beautiful and healthy” woman but their relationship ended “as a result of her inability to meet the obligations under her contract with us.”

Hamilton’s lawyer, Geoffrey Menin, said the image is “gross distortion of how she really looks and which we fear will be extremely damaging to her.”

“I think they owe American women an apology, a big apology,” she said. “I’m very proud of what I look like, and I think a role model should look healthy.”

So what do you think about all this?
