One Response to “Do You Think These Photos Of a Plus-Sized Model Chowing Down Are Insulting?”

    As a former plus-size model and the long-time editor of The Manolo’s blog for big girls, these photos don’t really bother me at all. Partially, because no one but no one thinks Crystal Renn is an actual plus-size model, they just don’t have a name for straight-sized models over a four. She’s a great gal, I think she even gave me a shout out in her memoirs, but she doesn’t have a responsibility to be a good fat girl role model, especially since she’s a size 8/10. She’s an editorial model, she takes risks. Whatever.

    If I was going to be offended, I’d be a lot more bothered with the ones from Paris Vogue where she’s naked except for a leather jacket, Her Martha and both her Vandellas swinging in the breeze while she’s trussed up to some scaffolding like a haute couture sex crime waiting to happen. Or any of the dozens of shoots that feature true plus-size models mostly naked, because it fetishizes a certain body type and adds to the idea that fat girls are easy (which, fair enough, many are, but I don’t think they’re disproportionately so)

    At this point unless she does an editorial where she’s literally having sex with a donkey –especially chosen by Carine Roitfeld– I’m not going to be shocked.
