18 year-old Sailor Brinkley Cook is the model daughter of ageless Christie Brinkley – recently, the pretty blonde shared a few thoughts on her Instagram page about body shape and size diversity in a world dominated by the Victoria’s Secret body type ideal:
These girls are such beautiful boss hard working strong determined women…. But to all the young girls watching tonight… don’t forget that if your body doesn’t look like theirs it is totally OK. No body type is superior to another. Every body is different and each and every one of those body’s [sic] are beautiful and strong and important and worthy of great things. Don’t freak out if your stomach doesn’t look like theirs. Don’t hate yourself for your thighs. Embrace your body type, work hard, set goals, be healthy and constantly remind yourself that you are good enough! VS is a celebration of women and awesome beauty. And comparison to anyone is never healthy! Don’t turn this fashion show into something negative. ❤️ Congrats to the VS angels on tonights show! I’ve seen how dedicated these girls are and you all really do kick ass on and off the runway. 💪🏽💕 so much respect for you guys and everyone at VS!

On Victoria’s Secret body type ideal:
That’s the most vanilla comment I’ve ever seen, my goodness. It doesn’t really say one thing or the other.
She’s saying it’s ok not to look like them but at the same time she’s praising their “perfect and incredible” bodies. WHAT a contradiction. A$$licking is the worst.
I disagree that her statement has to be a contradiction, necessarily. I think what she’s trying to say is that there’s more than one type of beautiful- it’s possible to look amazing without having their body types. I also think the VS girls are stunning, but that doesn’t stop me from seeing the beauty in, for example Beyonce, Amber Rose, Ruby Rose- heck, even girls I see walking along the street.
LOL.
She’s not contradicting herself; she’s saying vs models are beautiful but don’t hate yourself if you don’t look like them because you’re beautiful too.
It does sound like she’s fishing for a vs contact though.
LOL i immediately noticed she was fishing for one too.
So pretty and sweet looking, she’s got that “all American” look just like her mom. I think she’d make a great mainstream model
Wow she is really beautiful! She does have that classic I guess “All American” look plus she has a very nice body without the fake boobs. Good for her!
Good for her. And Christie looks amazing.
Meh this comment says nothing. The usual contradictory crap. “Every size is beautiful!” VS even says while only celebrating super slim women. Like ok… that sounds like a lie but ok.
Easy for her to say, she basically has the same body type as them…
Another intellectual, I see.
Kiss a– much? Somebody wants to be on VS good side to keep doors open to potentially get an offer lol
Hey hey now, at least she’s trying to say something nice. Hiding her lips-to-butt with motivational phrases is a lot better than the standard VS model quote of “I was the ugly duckling in high school and now I’m so stupendously lucky to have my absolute highest dream come true and I can eat whatever I want ’cause genetics teehee! #womanempowerment”
oh and: #buttselfie
can’t forget that one
Sounds like someone wants to be in the show next year, and should be! She’s gorgeous!
