Skinny VS Curvy

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.’

See the pictures she is referring to HERE!

Whoa! This girl has lost a LOT of weight, I barely did not recognize her.

On the left, Jaime in January 2009 and on the right, Jaime in October 2009.

The weight loss was truly unnecessary, I wonder why she lost so much and I hope she is OK.

I think she looked much better (and younger) before – she is 30 years old.

2 days ago, we got a skinny treat with curves (aka Marisa Miller) in Victoria’s Secret lingerie. So how does a fit and slim treat sound?

The most athletic Angel, Doutzen Kroes, looks stunning in her latest shots for Victoria’s Secret… and we can admire her figure and go “window shopping” for bikinis at the same time.

Enjoy the pictures in the gallery and tell us what you think!

 

Just like Bar Refaeli, Marisa Miller always looks amazing in a bikini – and this time is no exception.

You’re looking at Marisa’s latest bikini shots for Victoria’s Secret… and as always, they come with a lot of cleavage (plus a little extra plumpness via Photoshop), a thin figure with curves and a flat stomach.

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?
