- I didn't recognize her until I saw the cover of "Hungry", which I read about a while ago, and still that picture sticks in my mind. This woman is gorgeous! I can't believe she is (or was) considered "plus size", she is healthy and gorgeous! There is a proper amount of fat on her body. she actually has curves, it's fantastic. I am sortof sorry to hear she lost weight, really, because she seemed like such a good advocate for "you don't have to be stick thin", and by losing weight that sortof shadows her strength as an plus-size advocate, in my eyes. Well, she's still beautiful, and hopefully she is still being a model "her way"! Also thanks for pointing out the other plus size models...I am curious...

Crystal the Advocate
02/26/2010
Recently she appeared along side other prominent voices on both sides of the debate "is it ok to be fat" on ABC's Nightline. I watched the full 45 minutes and I have to say it was interesting. Both sides make valid points. Now if only they could get together and work something out.
You can find a link for the Nightline debate at the Who is Crystal Renn lens which I just updated.
The Crystal Weight Debate
07/15/2010
I find it insane that we would attack her (and many other celebrities) for losing weight. They are just like us and we have to stop putting them up on pedestals like statues that never change their form. If we want people to respect us and our bodies we need to set a better example and accept others for theirs.
When it comes to modeling, I think people need to realize that Crystal's a full-figure model and not a plus size model in the traditional sense. There is a lot of confusion (and some times horror) when it comes to the clothing industries description of plus size (14 to 26) conflicting with the modeling industry's description (8 to 14). Many can not separate the two and many others seem to be offended. It confuses and frustrates people all around. All these things are not Crystal's fault.
Her true fans won't care what division she's in. I think there are just so many people attached to her that are afraid of losing such an obviously beautiful and vocal spokesmodel for their cause: the one where all women are beautiful regardless of their size. But the thing is, Crystal can be an advocate for plus women no matter what size she is.
Show your support by saying something positive and be sure to check out the latest interview link I added between Crystal and Glamour magazine.
Crystal Renn Engages in Food P*&%
09/29/2010
Crystal is bedazzled in beautiful jewels and snuggled in gorgeous sweaters while she sits eating (loosely applied) spaghetti, meat, sausage and squid. A few voices have screamed it's a fashion shoot, others that it is art. Personally, I don't care for any of the photos or the gluttony and sexual connotations they showcases.
Does she look beautiful in them? Of course she does, she's a beautiful woman. She is gorgeous in fact (whether she is slim or plus size she IS gorgeous). They went for shock & not for the clothing/jewelry. The sweaters/jewelry become the background in this photo shoot. This isn't art to me. Crystal has been artistically photographed hundreds of time. I've seen it. This is just... well, the only thing that come to mind is "ew".
This is one of those instances where the model (and role model for women over a wide range of ages) should have used her brains and said "no".
You can see images for this photo shoot on plus size model Mia Amber's blog.
