!!SUPER PLUS-SIZE MODEL CRYSTAL RENN'S NEW BOOK "HUNGRY"!!

[Skyduchess]

It is so sad the image we give to describe beauty to young girls. We destroy before they even start to blossom.

[ilovespirito15]

What about the girls who can eat a lot but never gain weight? I'm one of those girls, and now it seems that skinny girls are getting the short end of the stick. At the end of the day, can't be all be 'real women'?

[IsAbElmiaumiau]

she is actually prettier than Giselle....

[jtrfpl]

she's built like a woman. hips thighs and breast is not"BIG AND BEAUTIFUL" its just natural and beautiful. she's not built like a 11 year old boy which is what the "fashion" industry likes. i want a woman who looks like a real woman

[tigereyes5]

@jtrfpl

Why do people always refer to 11 year old boys when describing thin women? Kinda creeps me out. I any case, does that mean women like Thandie Newton are just boys with vaginas?

[jtrfpl]

@tigereyes5 yeah, i don't think i said anything about boys with vagina. i like thandie newton and think she is very attractive. the point i was making is that women with curves and shape are now made to feel ugly by the fashion world whom cater to women with no shape at all. it's not right.

[Lagash1973]

@jtrfpl Great post! Totally agree with ya! Bravo! :)

[jtrfpl]

@Lagash1973 thank u

[TheSololobo]

I never give a skinny girl a second glance but curvy to plus size girls own me.

[GeorgiaxStella]

WOW these women are beautiful. I hate to spam, but I have just set up a blog about fashion for plus size women and would be grateful if you could check it out!! THANK YOU!! georgie-peach.blogspot.com

[googooberries]

@dreicemoney size 12 is plus size in the model world my friend was a size 8 and worked plus size ugh

[coc0x68]

@sd62t833 lmfaoooo! SO true!

[LisaBaby67]

The intro cracks me up. "She is gorgeous and she's a size 12." Whoopdee-do. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and she was a sex symbol. Now we're encouraging girls to look anorexic? Holy crap. What happened to common sense? How on earth did looking like a prepubescent boy become fasionable?

[tigereyes5]

@LisaBaby67

Marilyn Monroe's measurements were 35-23-35 apparently. If you watch Gentleman Prefer Blonds, which is on YT, you can see that she was at most a UK 8/10 in her prime.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 So? She was a size 14 in American sizes. Nowadays she would be considered obese. Look at the legs on those sex symbols back then. No model would be caught dead like that today.

[tigereyes5]

@LisaBaby67

Isn't a US 14 the equivalent of a UK 18? That's like Queen Latifah's size. 35" back then is the same as it is now and it is only 1" bigger than the hips of the average model that is 5" taller than Monroe. Yes high fashion models wouldn't have legs like hers but some like Bar Rafaeli are roughly the same size as Monroe and their' bodies are now used for swimwear.

No she wouldn't be considered obese now. Standards are extreme but not that much.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 Why do you keep asking me about UK sizes? How would I know? And no, a size 14 isn't huge. It's NOT Queen L's size, I can guarantee that. I can't guess her size, but it's bigger than a 14. And yes, according to standards in America now, MM would be considered obese. Size 12 (which is very normal, not obese) is now considered a plus size in America. If you need size conversions, Google them.

[tigereyes5]

@LisaBaby67

The question was rhetorical. I know how the size system works and A US 14 IS a UK 18, which is bigger than what Christina Hendricks would wear. In any case, my point is less about retail sizes and more that MM was not a big woman. She was around the same size as Scarlett Johansson. Are women Scar Jo's size considered obese in America? Is the woman in Gentleman Prefer Blonds someone that people associate with obesity? I don't think so.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 I don't think you do understand the sizes. Not at all. If you think Queen Latifah is a size 14, you're mistaken.

[LisaBaby67]

@LisaBaby67 In fact, I just looked it up. According to the web, Queen L wears a size 34. So I guess that's nowhere near a 14 after all.

[tigereyes5]

@LisaBaby67

I do understand sizes. Queen L may be a lot bigger than a UK 18, and I underestimated that, but the what I was trying to impress is that you're seeing MM as bigger than she actually was. You can convert US sizes to UK by adding 4, which would make a US 14 a UK 18. The important stats are the measurements. MM with 35" hips is not obese today. Again, is Scar Jo considered obese in the US? You didn't answer that.

[Jimmyczable]

I wish all girls were "plus size". what a joke. plus size models make guys penis tingle!!

[earamsey95]

Seriously? On taller women, it's ridiculous to be expected to be a size 0. The taller you are, the bigger your frame is. It's common knowledge. The industry needs to realize that big is beautiful. There's nothing wrong with being a size 12, 14, 16, or even bigger.

[VAAMPGL]

Big is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

[bregieirofernandes]

I hate how they have "Big and Beautiful" on the screen. Crystal Renn is not big.

[Albemarle7]

REAL Women have curves!

[marcie101080]

CURVES LOOK BETTER IN MY OPINION, WHO WANTS TO LOOK LIKE A TEENAGE BOY LOL

[colistro]

This woman is gorgeous, people shouldn't go with the standards.

Keep it huge and curvy :)

Tired of that hollywood crap, curvy women are just beautiful.

Girls: be yourself, you're beautiful.

[tramplebyagirlfetish]

@colistro i wish she would trample me in heels all 170 lbs worth or her!

[tramplebyagirlfetish]

@colistro i wish she would trample me in heels all 170 lbs worth or her!

[unusedname197]

@colistro damn right

[Mobee211]

beautiful! gorgeous curves!

Plus sie models who weigh a normal weight....at 5'9" that is is 155-170lbs

Tired of this anorexic heroin chic crap.

Sorry.

Take a look at Sophia Loren. GORGEOUS.

This girl has the right attitude.

[arise212]

So according to the modeling world:

Regular Model = Annorexic Twig

PLUS size = Normal size

Yeah makes a lot of sense right?

[sims24025]

I'd tap that

[rozeAngel1]

being thin kills! im a size 12 and ever sins i recover from my anorexia i feel like im alive again. there nothing wrong with curves but yet so they call an average girl that size 12 a pulse size model its sad.

[OsitoPandaJossy]

@sashmiller93 Oh my god, yes. I thought it was just me. I don't want to be super skinny but i don't want to be a bbw. I know that some people use it as an excuse, "Oh i'm a BBW and proud and i love it." However, if it's to the point where you're running a serious health risk, stop it, lose it and get beautifully healthy.The same goes for women who are skinny to the point its unhealthy.

[420Cecill]

why is she not every model? why does it have to be so rare???

[MzKissez8]

can any1 tell why these folks below are talking about america saying its whaleland.Just becuz yall mf's are dieing cuz ya'll dnt have a healthy&hearty food supply dnt mean u have 2 hate.Thats makes me sick just except people 4 who they r ya'll r freaken idiots.

[SuperToniscott]

Incredible Channel. A true reflection of your love as it pours out onto your tube cavas like a lucid dreamer.

Fantastic and mesmerizing. I can't wait to see more from your soul! :)

[tooieterdpounder123]

she's stunning!! love her, love her book!

[tooieterdpounder123]

she's stunning!!

[shockadellick]

I'm a none gay man. And she looks great for a middle age woman. If she's a size 12 young. What size will she be at 30 or when she has a kid? No women should ever get over a size 4. Just a man take on it.

[PreciousEarthquakes2]

@shockadellick And when you get older you are going to be a fat ugly man. Clearly you are not gay, you are far to sexist. You are the reason woman are anorexic. Thank you for sending that message out.

[8894jrh]

@shockadellick

Thanks so much for being a hater. This just makes her famous, and you a stupid, sick, and careless human being. She is beautiful. And you are ugly. I hope you can change your arrogance and truly understand why many women hate guys like you.

[bluewhale18]

in my book "super plus size" means hotness

[fullmoondrivein]

The times they are a changin',Finaly!!

[MsMaxattack]

Great news for all those misguided teenagers

[amuntvttttbvcf]

very beautiful face!

[cchhiizz]

my hero :)

[ponypics01]

jw but does anyone know when they say size 12, im geussing that because this is american that they mean american size 12 so english 14?

[jazmynnthered]

you better REPRESENT MS giiiiiiirl :) !!!! and i hate that the consider HER as plus sized!! she was boney! smh at the media!

[MsBUTTERFLYDEE]

Some people are so rude fat skiny, we are all beautiful!!!

[papertreegun]

Ha whatever the regular models look better than plus size any day. Curvy is good too I just dont like how some fat girls say they are curvy when they are just fat.

[hiya192]

I really appreciate the fact that she is actually giving the message that being healthy is the most important thing. My BMI is considered to be underweight but I'm healty and eat organic and really do my best to lead a healthy lifestyle. However I always get people saying that I need a burger or something that really is insulting. Saying that is just as rude as telling a "fat" person to lay off the burgers and neither of them should be socially accepted. >.< 

[sevenatethenine]

Crystal Renn is pretty fucking great,super intelligent AND beautiful. She's a perfect role model for anyone who feels insecure about their body. After reading her book I felt 'okay' or, at peace with my body,knowing we have had similar self image struggles made it more helpful. I'm 21 and hope to do somethig in the plus size modeling field aswell so,yeah,great inspiration right there.

[fauxpas84]

I absolutely adore her. She's so lovely, intelligent, classy and seems so unaffected by the superficiality of the industry. I really do idolize her. I'd love to meet her, though I don't know what I'd say. I'd probably go into complete fangirl mode and just start crying or something really embarrassing.

[iwantwatermellon]

now at peace with my body. My point? We are conditioned to perceive what beauty is from what we see around us. Crystal's message is universal. Just be happy. Be healthy. And don't judge others. You are beautiful.

[iwantwatermellon]

I am a size 0-4. My measurements are 32" 24" 33" so whatever size that is. I think Crystal is beautiful. The reason her thin body was not beautiful was because she was suffering. I think that both thinner and fuller bodies can be beautiful, as long as it is a person's natural weight. I got crap for being so skinny and went through the same thing as Crystal but reversed. I too made myself unhealthy in order to try to gain weight to fit in. Not to mention the emotional distress. I am

[twothousandpeople]

I'm bi...and I think Crystal Renn is one of the hottest women ever. She is seriously perfect and sooo sexy. I'm reading her book right now, and she is very inspirational. Her pictures are like 'mmmmmm'. Not the skinny ones though, those were gross.

[shickenwips]

It amazes me how stupid all the experts are. She's still 2 sizes smaller than Marilyn Monroe was. Her Body is perfect.

[dreicemoney]

size 12 isn't plus size.

[villanimami]

I want to be a plus sized model - i'm a sz. 12 too and there's nothing wrong with that. All of my friends were telling me that I should be a model and I'd always correct them ;) I could be a plus sized model! & That's ok I love myself and women like her :) A strong beautiful curvy woman. We don't need to conform - we are who we are.

[iwantwatermellon]

@villanimami Be a model then. Doesn't Crystal remind you a bit of Brooke Shields? She's so gorgeous :)

[villanimami]

@iwantwatermellon She does! :)

[Icelordess]

Plus size? She looks quite normal sized to me.

[roileka123]

i LOVE her book!! i give her props for her "MOM" for taking her away from her evil "LANA"....

[naynerz92]

gosh she is gorgeous im a size 4 and thats considered big for models...

[Dracorientalis]

WAit, she's being called a plus size model for being the natural normal size that any HEALTHY woman should be. The fashion world makes be sick.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm not attracted to people who look like corpses. I'd choose this gal far quicker then any skeleton. I'm not into necro.

[Tripipuchis]

No, she's not plus-sized, she's a perfect sized... at least that's the type of body I like.

I've always thought that those who like thin, teenage-looking women are potential child abusers.

[caramaccat]

i cannot believe she is considered plus size! shes not even normal, shes thin! its stupid!

[bzylizzy]

how pathetic we call this girl plus size........ this girl is normal size surely..........

[sidneyjoplin1]

Go Mississippi Biloxi, I am plus size and that made me feel so great!

[laquiruvinaj]

ohh i love her!!! she is literally my role model!

[wildstyled]

3:31 was such a beautiful picture!!!!! She's so gorgeous right now, but that face shot of her was breathtaking to me!

[Sarahmajig]

I would be very happy if people wouldn't judge my fluff (US size 14) and I could be comfortable the way I am, not worrying about people looking at me and saying "Ugh. She's not hot. She's fat." No one's ever said that to me but I feel like that's what most people think, you know?

[DanniDotNet]

It's a shame that the average size of women is considered plus-size in this industry...

[whatsthemenu]

@DanniDotNet

Actually today's average is certainly related to be overweight.

[TikiTubeable]

@DanniDotNet Average sized where? LOL Just because something is 'average' in America doesn't make it cute, hot, sexy, normal, or healthy. Fucking whaleland.

[Sociopathics]

@TikiTubeable Ha, are you calling this woman a whale? And actually, it is healthy AND normal. Only up until recently did the super-thin look become popular.

If you actually looked at a few paintings or pictures from the past all around the world you would see women her size are considered the most beautiful because they are more likely to live longer and bear healthier children (wider hips thing). It's fucking biology. Learn it.

Whether or not you find it cute is your own issue to deal with.

[TikiTubeable]

@Sociopathics Actually no it's not biology you idiot, lmao. Wider hips doesn't = overweight, obese, unhealthy. Beyonce has WIDE hips, small ass (despite what many think)...and her stomach is flat, toned, legs are clearly slender and toned.

This whale here, is, or should I say use to be all gut, no butt, no real hips. A spare tire isn't hips, sorry babe. But curvy is curvy, and fat is fat. Learn the difference.

[TikiTubeable]

@Sociopathics Oh and I'll repeat, just because something is popular somewhere, or at any point in time doesn't make it all of the sudden normal. Clearly all the slim hipped, thin women in Asia have no problem having healthy children. If you really think hip size matters that much as far as health goes I guess you are choosing to ignore the fact that American kids are the least educated on the planet. LOL

[TikiTubeable]

@Sociopathics And that lines right up with your pathetic obesity stats. believe me. LOL

I'll say it again - Curvy is curvy, fat and obese is ...fat and obese. LOL Get use to it bitch.

If being a fat pig was a huge benefit for a pregnant woman it would show in American children considering most of you are FAT pigs, but no, your kids are idiots, and your women are disgusting fat slobs.

[Sociopathics]

@TikiTubeable Okay, you're obviously in a rage right now so I'll reiterate:

I NEVER said obesity was healthy. I said AVERAGE builds were healthy. And you need to work on this hangup of yours. Your life will be a lot happier.

Oh, and try calming the fuck down. You'll be able to pay attention more easily that way.

[ponypics01]

@TikiTubeable

im not sayingyour wrong or anything, but if you look at the comments; most men like women her size :)

[TikiTubeable]

@ponypics01 Most men? hun it's a youtube video; the comments don't represent the majority, or even half of the planet. What an idiot.

[ponypics01]

@TikiTubeable

Mate, its not just the comments on here, im just using them as an example. Its most men in genral. The press just portray how wommen should be wrongly. Geez, im just saying. calm down love.

[TikiTubeable]

@ponypics01 And where are those stats. for most men in general? because I'm a guy, and while I don't find CRYSTAL fat (CRYSTAL, not OTHER women who are FAT) I don't find her attractive either. Her face is average as hell, ugly nose, and I hate pasty skin.

So where are you getting those gaping generalizations from babe? just your own personal delusions? lol until I see some factual numbers regarding "men in general" that's simply YOUR opinion, know your place sweety. Opinion isn't fact.

[MsMaxattack]

@DanniDotNet  spot on

[TheSlickAndroid]

shes not plus-sized,shes normal sized! but I guess to people nowadays that means being as thin as a stick.

honestly she looks just fine and very attractive in my opinion

[MzSpacey]

Im on the same page as you Ip4ju. 12 is not a plus size.

[vasogoma]

she looks better right now than when she was that skinny. She sure is a role model for me :)

[lp4ju]

i can't believe a size 12 is plus size...I would kill to be a 12...

[Rigpixie]

It's "fashion" plus size, not everyday plus size.

[Gsusisblack]

I think she looks great and is right trying to be herself!

[rockdiva1983]

she also had a nosejob clearly.

[freshhug]

Sry, but it's just not true that you are ok as you are and don't need to conform. That message only works in some utopia that has non-humans in it.

[tranxendentalist]

she's gorgeous
