A Goddess

This plus size goddess from Clinton, Mississippi has appeared in French, Italian and American Vogue. No easy task for any curvy beauty. She's also been a regular feature for Lane Bryant, Torrid, Dolce & Gabbana and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Crystal has had to battle her own demons, since she was first scouted into the world of glamor at the age of fourteen, to become comfortable with her body and who and what she wanted to accomplish in life. She's on an unexpected path to being a role model for women of all sizes.

This lens is dedicated to her.

Three reasons to love Crystal Renn 

ONE - She's comfortable in her own skin.

TWO - She's created her success on her own terms.

THREE - She's va-va-voom!

    Seriously, she is amazingly beautiful. Though I am a little confused about her weight? I am exactly the same height and have literally exactly the same measurements though a slightly larger bust - 38D and am an Australian size 16 (US 12 I believe) however I weigh almost 200lbs.

    Perhaps it's just ditributed unevenly in my head or something???

    I think she's a great inspiration though and whenever I feel a bit down about my size, I come have a look at some pics of her and she inspires me to be proud of what and who I naturally am

    There's no way Crystal Renn weighs 165 lbs, because at my height... my weight would be pretty equivalent, and I wear a size 8. I hate it when they knock down/up plus size models weights (like how many different numbers have we heard for Marilyn Monroe?) Crystal clearly weighs more, and that's fine.. she's gorgeous, but let's not be in denial!

    I think that Crystal is a beautiful woman. I have never understood men that love stick women, if there's no curves there's nothing to catch the eye. I am one of a growing number of men and women that feel that "Healthy" beauty such as Crystal's is the best. I am glad to see that the world didn't ruin her. Stay beautiful and know there are many people out there that draw courage from you.

    The sad thing is that she is being touted as a "plus size" model. Crystal is a size 12. That's isn't plus sized - that's actually the average American woman.
