Skinny VS Curvy

Alessandra Ambrosio was posing prettily for the camera in Miami Beach this weekend.

The ingredients of the photoshoot? Bikinis, daisy dukes, tanned skin and Alessandra’s thin modelesque figure.

Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts talks about the dangers of tanning in a new show for BBC – even more, Nicola accepted to have her skin photoshopped to show the damages of too much tanning (see above).

Let’s hear out her motivation:

I tried to cover up my insecurities by turning into a big-time tanorexic.

I had every product from every range. It filled a shelf in my bathroom and no matter how exhausted I was, I needed my fix. I was very young when I was using fake tan and I didn’t care.

I had a very narrow-minded view on what was pretty and what wasn’t. I automatically thought that tanned was attractive. As I got older, I realised fake tan was rather messy and I wanted to look cleaner, classier and more demure. I started looking at women like Lily Cole and Sophie Ellis Bextor – beautiful women with their pale skin, rather than looking at the run-of-the-mill, tanned, average lady.

I began to find it attractive, rather than what I used to find attractive. I grew out of it. I feel that people injecting themselves with a needle to become brown is quite disturbing. One – it isn’t safe and two – it’s not real.

Here is Nicola in her “tanned days”:

Because “Kim Kardashian bikini pictures” are never enough and because she’s looking thinner / less curvier in this one, check out what picture Kim herself posted on her Twitter. And the quote that accompanied it:

Quick Trim photo shoot today in Miami! I finally feel I’ve reached my goal!

Yes, the angle makes Kim look less curvier than she is, but she is also slimmer – check out her middle area.

And how about that super dark tan?

UPDATE: OK guys, so I am including a side-by-side comparison between Kim in a bikini 2 months ago (a pic she posted on her blog) and the new Kim in a bikini. You can decide where she looks curvy or less curvy now.

Forever skinny Victoria Beckham finally revealed to Allure Magazine a thing or two about what she’s eating.

On her diet:

‘I’m not going to lie – I’m not one of those people that says, “Oh, I eat hamburgers.”

‘I eat salad. And I start off every day with a double espresso. Then I get on the running machine and I run like a bat out of hell.’

On her skin tone:

‘I don’t self-tan anymore. It’s frustrating when people criticize my colour. It’s the colour that I am. I wear sunblock, but I live in a hot climate.’

I don’t know what to say about her diet & workout quotes. Being active and eating salads is great obviously, but she sounds a little… strict and “tense”.

This Bikini Body Belongs to…
