Skinny VS Curvy

This will be a fun read… Kim Kardashian recently posted on her blog a ton of information about her weight, size and body measurements. What did she have to say?

I am a size 27 jeans… My measurements are 34, 26, 39. But remember I am 5′2″ and 1/2 and everyone carries their weight in different places.

My body frame is small, but since I have curves, many people assume I am bigger and wear a bigger size in jeans. This is simply not the case! The misconception carries over to my weight, too. I am right under 120 lbs, but a lot of people have been shocked to hear that and have accused me of lying! Haha. (…)

I was clear to state that everyone carries their weight differently. I have very skinny chicken legs, so my jeans need to be a smaller size to fit my legs. I have a tiny waist, which is smaller than a size 27 so i always need to have the waist tailored.I also wear stretch jeans, because my booty just gets flattened in any jean that has no stretch and just doesn’t fit into non stretch jeans. I usually wear Serfonatine or JBrand, those fit the best! In those certain brands, on a good day I even fit into a size 26! I am a lot smaller than I look in pictures or on TV and that’s the first thing people say when they meet me! When I first started doing photo shoots, stylists would bring me a size 6 or 8, and they had to come back with 2’s and 4’s. I am only 117 lbs! 
I am really sick and tired of people being so mean and nasty and assume I am lying. Why should it upset people that I am a size 27? Kourtney is a size 23 or 24, if she can find her size and wears kid sizes most of the time, and Khloe is a size 30. We are all shapped differently and are proud of our shape big or small….

Conclusion: The measurements that Kim provided indicate a BMI of 21.4, which is in the middle of the healthy range (18.5 - 25). I am pretty sure that these stats will cause a little controversy and that some will say “No way she fits in size 27 jeans / is 120″, but then again, she’s not very muscular, she’s very short and besides her big butt, she’s quite a slender girl. Definitely don’t agree about the “very skinny, chicken legs” part, though.

What do you say? Do Kim’s measurements and sizes sound realistic to you?

UPDATE: Due to the fact that she received many comments from people saying that she can not possibly be that small, Kim also made a little video entitled “See, I told you!” and put it on her blog - in the video, she tried on 3 pairs of jeans in front of the camera, 2 of them size 27 and one pair size 26. And yes, she did get inside them - yes, they were tight on her butt and yes, she tried to squeeze herself in, but they did fit.

Already that famous that they don’t even need second names… Here are Lauren, Audrina and Lo, not looking all like pretty and perfect dolls posing in slimming positions - for a change. OK, so that was my number one reason for posting this.

And number two: just take a look at Lo’s, Lauren’s and Audrina’s legs in the second photo - because I didn’t realize until now that they have the exact same size, shape and skin tone. Yet another Photoshop job?

It was about time we hosted a bikini body battle featuring two ladies that are not in their 20’s, nor in their 30’s, but in their 40’s. Yes, you’ve heard it right - more precisely, Heather Locklear is 46 and Lisa Rinna is 44. Years old, that is, which is pretty great, judging by their bodies, where almost everything seem to be in the right size and shape (definitely excepting Lisa’s lips).

What’s funny is that they don’t only share the age prefix and a competitive status on our little battle right here, but they were also feud partners on a popular show a few years back, if you recall.

You be the judge: Who takes home the “best bikini body” crown and on what basis? Heather Locklear or Lisa Rinna?

Here we have Carrie Underwood looking slim at the Country Music Awards. Carrie is one celebrity that did not escape the “she’s too skinny” comments in the past, but these days she manages to avoid them by looking slightly less skinny.

In fact, on a second look, she is looking too slim - no, I don’t mean scary - too slim for the white outfit on the right, which appears to be 2 sizes too big. The outfit on the left - well, looks pretty good on Carrie, if we are fans of the glossy-shine-extravaganza (the hair, the dress, the purse, the shoes, the skin).

Which one of these outfits do you prefer on Carrie’s body?

If any of you out there are wondering whether Posh is looking slightly healthier these days, the answer would be pretty clear while looking at the picture above, as in “Nope” (if the “diminutive of thighs” doesn’t convince you, then the skin-through collar bones probably will). It is a mystery how any pair of jeans can fit that perfectly and tightly on a size 00 body - the result of her long term 900 calorie diet - , unless we listen to the rumors which say that she gets her clothes readjusted after purchasing them, diva style.

So, what do you say? How would you rate her on the skinny scale? Rate Victoria Beckham from 1 to 10, 1 meaning “girl’s place is on Chubby Scale” and 10 meaning “at least she’s got bodyguards to catch her if she faints”.

Versus’s expert verdict: Posh is an 8. If Posh’s knees and an average woman’s wrists would enter a competition called “who’s skinnier?”, the knees would take home the crown.
