Skinny VS Curvy

Tweet

The modeling industry has changed since Cindy’s reign.
“I do feel like an outsider now, but I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models. And I also think when I was modeling, size 6 was a normal size and now it’s like 2 or 0.”

… reveals Cindy in Parade Magazine.

A few weeks ago, various sources around the Internet starting buzzing on one particular subject: ‘Crystal Renn’s agency lists the ‘plus-size’ model as a size 2′. A size 2 with the corresponding measurements of a standard model! A few days after the initial buzz, Crystal’s agent, Gary Dakin, responded:

“There was an error in the initial printing and it is being rectified. She maintains a 37-38 hip. But if people have truly followed her message, it is about acceptance and beauty at any size”.

Let’s see some of Crystal’s recent statements:

With plus size modeling, the sizes start at an 8 and go all the way up to a 20, and that enrages many people. They say when they see a size 10 girl, that’s plus size? They have to realize that plus size model doesn’t mean plus size woman… But bridging the gap would be a very good thing. We need to have all sizes. This isn’t a them against us fight. It’s about bringing everybody together.

Because of my size currently, I straddle this line between the two worlds–I guess you could say I’m a plus size straight size model. I am four inches smaller than a plus size model and four inches bigger than a straight size model.

At this point, Crystal’s (who still claims to be a size 8US) measurements on various agency cards and fashion model sites are listed as: 34C-28.5-38 / 85-73-97 (cm).

On her weight loss:

“I gained a level of confidence. It’s like this [defeated] feeling disappeared that I had carried around with me for so long, and finally I was like, forget it. It’s not what life’s about. There is no secret, It’s the old-fashioned way of making a commitment to yourself and waking up every day and doing it.”

On her current habits:

“I don’t eat junk food. I don’t have it in my house anymore. I’m more inclined to go for a bag of carrots now than a bag of chips. I never thought I would turn into that girl, but I have!”

… says Kelly (who claims she is a size US 0-2 now).

Diane Kruger wants to share a little piece of body size info with you guys:

I am not size zero – I wish! I am a size two or sometimes a size four- it depends.

If I spend too long in Germany and eat too many cakes and schnitzel my weight goes up. But I don’t obsess about it any more. I just know I’ve got to watch it when my pants feel too tight. I love food.

… says Diane.

Crystal Renn, Alessandra Ambrosio and Brooklyn Decker are in their bikinis on the June issue of Glamour Magazine, looking pretty under the headline: “Size 2, size 12, Whatever! They All Look Hot to Us”

Let’s see what they have to share in the interview:

How do you stay in shape?

CRYSTAL RENN: Over Christmas I went hiking in Patagonia, and I fell in love with activity again. On the mountain, it’s about feeling proud that my body allows me to see such beautiful things.

You don’t have a rail-thin build. Was it hard to find your place [in modeling]?

BROOKLYN DECKER: I got successful once I accepted I’m athletic, I have boobs. I set my own standard.

You were seen as a “curvy” model at Prada this spring, but I read a blog saying you’re “too skinny.” What gives?

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO: It’s always a drama. If I know I’m healthy, that’s all that matters.

Here are the 3 girls (the unphotoshopped versions) while shooting (see the post HERE):

P.S.: Post-Photoshop, the girls really don’t seem that many sizes apart!
