Alessandra Ambrosio has something interesting to share:
“I’ve been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want,” she told WWD. “All that matters is that I stay healthy.”
“If I’m two pounds heavier, I’m fat. If I’m skinnier, I’m sick. It’s ridiculous,” she said. “And that’s not coming from agents or designers.”
… says Alessandra.
At 120 pounds (55 kg), Alison Boxer, a 16 year-old contestant for the Australia’s Next Top Model title, is not thin enough for the popular show. Alison wasn’t the only girl labeled “too big”, as 3 more girls were asked to melt cm off their thighs or shed some kg off their already-thin frames. How does the young contestant (who is already underweight according to BMI) feel about the request? Details from Harold Sun:
“It was a shock to the system to be told I needed to lose weight. At home a lot of people say I’m too skinny. I was 50kg at one stage, which I thought was a bit scary.
“So I was coming from a place where people were telling me to gain weight, to now people saying I should lose weight.”
“It was a bit of a shock as I’m so young and new to the world and to be told, no, your walk was bad and to lose weight in the first week was pretty full-on.“I have never tried to lose weight before, but since then I have been going to the gym twice a day and eating in proportion to try to lose the weight.”
Oh that last statement is sad…
The feedback came right away:
Eating Disorders Victoria spokeswoman Megan O’Connor slammed the show for promoting a poor body image among impressionable teenagers.
“Most people would look at her and see a particularly attractive young woman, yet it is suggested she lose further weight, and it is not attainable,” Ms O’Connor said.
“We would prefer the show to promote diversity of body shape rather than assume a model needs to look super skinny.”

Times Online has this long, descriptive story on plus-size models and the man who made them famous – read it here entirely!… and the ladies in the spotlight are no other than Crystal Renn and Tara Lynn. Here are some interesting parts of this article:
Lynn (size 18 UK), a curvaceous yet surprisingly dainty woman, is here today, teetering on high-heeled sandals, looking fabulous in a pink one-piece. On her modelling card her measurements are 38-34-46in. A male make-up artist rubs body lotion into her ample thighs. She dwarfs him.
What Gary Dakin (the man who runs the plus-size division of Ford Models) says:
In one shoot in the same magazine Crystal Renn was photographed opposite the size 4 model Jacquelyn Jablonski in exactly the same clothes. “Renn wiped the floor with her,” says Dakin.
… hmm… remember that shoot?
What Tara says:
“I would like to say that I like my body as much as I ever did. But all the publicity has made it easier. I’m being celebrated now.”
“I spend half my life walking around in clothes with my bottom hanging out. All these gorgeous clothes and nothing fits me. No wonder they always shoot me naked.”
What Crystal says:
“We are all models. Beautiful girls are beautiful girls. Size should not matter. Look in the street and there are all kinds of shapes and sizes. Why are we here? To get people to shop and feel good about themselves. Somehow that has been forgotten. Just because a girl is bigger, she can’t be inspiring? What kind of message is that? And it’s not even true.”
Tara does look plus-sized, but once again, Crystal’s weight loss is quite visible… and they both look beautiful!

There’s a brand new list out there and surprise, surprise, Megan Fox has The Most Envied Body, according to the UK female readers of Heat Magazine.google
The editor of the magazine said:
“We’ve always known that Megan Fox is a hit with men, but we were surprised at how quickly she has made an impact on women – they consider her to have the most covetable celebrity body.
As for the Top 10 beauties:
“It’s really refreshing to see Cheryl Cole beating curvy bikini goddess Kelly Brook to second place, and for the Brits to make the top 10, alongside Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie and Beyonce Knowles.”yahoo
Here’s the complete list:
1. Megan Fox
2. Cheryl Cole
3. Kelly Brook
4. Beyonce Knowles
5. Angelina Jolie (her current figure?)
6. Jennifer Aniston
7. Jessica Alba
8. Jennifer Lopez
9. Katie Price (umm, ok)
10. Rihanna
Even more, the voters decided that the perfect celebrity body would include the following “ingredients”: Megan’s face, Jennifer Aniston’s arms, Angelina’s breasts, Beyonce’s curves and Kelly’s legs. (That’s a little creepy.)
Let’s talk!
