kristy on crystal
"...what i find particularly disturbing is that those who speculate (without reason) that her weightloss isn't being done in a healthy way, don't seem worried about crystal or her health. all they seem to care about is that she now looks thinner in pictures and how it affects them...
crystal renn is a great model. period. end of story. she's proving that being a great model is possible at any size, that you don't need to fit into some pre-formed industry mold labeled 'plus-size' or otherwise. by leading her life and just doing what makes her happy and comfortable in her own skin, she's showing the world that size doesn't matter. bigger or smaller, who cares? that's what fashion needs...
controlling your weight is difficult! if it wasn't, then everyone would choose a size they liked and remain there for all time. just because someone is famous doesn't suddenly make weight struggles or fluctuations obsolete. if we're really going to heal our collective body image mentality then we need to stop obsessing over weight so much."
