Just stopping by

1. Uh-oh. Apparently Demi Moore got butthurt over ONTD discussing just how ridiculous the photoshop was on her W Magazine cover.

In other words, EPIC POST IS EPIC.

2. But speaking of modeling, check out all the latest spreads Super-Plus-Size-Model Crystal Renn has done lately.

She is one gorgeous woman, goddamn.

3. In case you missed it (and happen to live in the US), check out Stephen Colbert subbing for Jay-Z while rapping about the suburbs with Alicia Keys in her performance of her song "New York State Of Mind" on the show:



HAPPY SIXTH CANDLE!

Now back to German.

In all honesty, I see models every day in New York. Believe me when I say, they are not particularly pretty or healthy-looking women. I saw today a model with legs so thin, she's probably wearing kid sizes. I disagree with what you say. I don't think there are a lot of thin, healthy women in the fashion industry nowadays. Not when the US Vogue puts on an article about "plus-size" models called "when size 4 is too big" in their latest edition. I don't think it's bad to say "hey, this woman eats, and she has those boobs naturally", when the Victoria Secret show gets stick-thin girls with boob jobs to envision what men allegedly like.

Some people will always be thin, for a fact. It doesn't necessarily mean they'll look good, or like the way they look. However, I do think healthy bodies with healthy attitudes about self-esteem are a way better role model than underfed, starving girls who believe that "nothing looks as good as skinny feels".

Well, like I said, I'm not disputing that there are unhealthy girls out there, but that's my point. There are always going to be unhealthy-looking girls striving to look like the models, regardless of what size they are.

Not every size-twelve woman is as pretty as Renn is, or looks healthy at that size. She's tall and has great proportions, just like Heidi Klum does at a much smaller size. If every model suddenly became a size twelve overnight, you'd still have girls developing unhealthy eating/living habits to try to achieve Renn's measurements.
