Skinny VS Curvy

Kim recently did a bikini shoot for People magazine – Above you can see real Kim (I guess) on the left and Kim in the magazine on the right. No major photoshopping going on, but I see signs of it in the arms, hips, upper thigh and waist areas.

The bikini shots came with the following message:

I used to be really nervous doing bikini shoots but I honestly feel like now I am so much more confident and comfortable in my skin after losing a little weight and most importantly, toning up. Take a look through the People Magazine spread and let me know what you think. I think the photos turned out really well, very natural!

And a little something from her interview with People Magazine:

“After years of insecurities, Kim Kardashian proclaims: I’m proud of my curves!”

“This journey has taught me to be who I am. It doesn’t matter what other people think.”

I’m sad to say it, but this girl sends a lot of opposite messages: she’s proud of her curves, then she tries to prove that she wears size 26/27 in jeans in a video, then she is proud of her curves again, then she has chicken legs and she is very small, she is 117 lbs, no, she is 114, but she was always 120-125, she lost weight, got totally slimmerized in Photoshop in magazines, then sent a “No! to Photoshop” message, toned up, released a fitness video, became the image of a diet pill company, then she is proud of her curves again.

What do you think?

Plus-Size Model Crystal Renn (23) just released a book about her journey in the modeling world, a journey from size 0 to size 12: “Hungry – A Young Model’s Story: Appetite, Ambition and the Ultimate Embrace of Curves”.

Here’s her summarized story: At age 14, Crystal told that she had to lose 9 inches from her hips in order to be a succesful model. As a result, Crystal went from 175 lbs to 95 lbs in just 2 years. At 16, Crystal dealt with anorexia and was a size 0(US). But then, there was a turning point:

At 17 my body completely rebelled. I couldn’t loose more weight and I realized I was going to die for a job. The next day I was completely chastised by my agency for my size and one agent pulled me aside and said, “There’s an option for you. You can either go plus-size or do commercial work.” And I asked, “What’s plus-size modeling? I’ve never heard of that.” And she said, “Well it means you can be whatever size you want and model.” But she said it was for old women! But for whatever reason, everything made sense and I knew this was the route I had to take. I went and had a salad with salmon and walnuts and olive oil. I gave into what my body needed. I could be healthy and happy and still model., says Crystal.

… and so, she was inspired to share her story in a book:

“I’d like to see everyone take on the attitude that there are women of all different shapes and sizes as `the beauty ideal,’ and that it’s not one type or another. There are women who are naturally a size 2 — you can’t forget them, and that’s discrimination the other way,” Renn said. “All women bring something different to the table and we have to appreciate them all.”

Some in the fashion, modeling and magazine industries have been receptive to the idea, she said, noting that she’s still working with her fuller figure in Vogue, Glamour, on the runway with Jean Paul Gaultier and in ads for Dolce & Gabbana. ”I believe there is a cycle to everything — Wall Street, the housing market, and modeling, too. Back in the Victorian days, it was all about a full figure, in the ’50s, it was about the boobs, in the ’80s it was shoulders and in the ’90s it was waifs,” she said. “It can only go up from here.”, says Crystal.

OK, so here’s Kelly Brook in Loaded Magazine, looking…

- less curvy than usually in picture number 1 (but not only), especially in the hips / thighs area.

- very, very busty in the other pics (yes, more than in reality).

See how Kelly looks on the beach HERE!

Of course there’s more after the jump!
