Crystal Renn – now she is someone who deserves a mention! I have just started reading her book ‘Hungry’ which portrays her life in the model industry, and how she battled against anorexia to finally become happy with her weight, embrace herself and become one of the biggest plus size models.
These are images she shot for Australia’s Harper’s Bazar and doesn’t she look amazing. Curvy, beautiful and also fashionable – which I think is a key factor in showing that plus sizes (oh hang about I should be saying ‘normal’ people) can look as great in fashion as the thinsters on the runway!
Apparently, (image below) is a un-retouched image of Renn… not 100% certain whether to believe it or not, as some of the other images seem to have an optical light thing going on – but whether it is or isn’t she still looks FAB! Yes, she does have cellulite (that’s if it isn’t the lighting) but don’t the majority of the population, including the non-existent celebs and super-skinny models! It’s normal for women!
What do you think, does Renn do it for you?
I’ve always been a fan of plus-size models! There’s a great site with many images of Crystal and other plus-size models here:

They’re all gorgeous.
The site’s forum also has thought-provoking discussions about body image and the media.
