WHY do they do this to her??



It's hard enough being the face of plus-size models, but why put this incredibly unflattering photo of Crystal Renn in a magazine! Found this image in an old issue of Harper's Bazaar...

She works a lot harder to get a good shot (wouldn't we all if thousands, if not millions, of people were going to be flipping through, ahem* judging, our pictures through the pages of 'X-Y-Z' Magazine!) and this is just one awful picture they put out.

I don't even want to hear what you all think about plus size models, there's nothing even to fight about. There is no point debating things on the internet, everything ALWAYS goes something like this:

Commenter #1: She looks fabulous, the fashion industry shouldn't care about SIZE!
Commenter #2: She's fat
Commenter #1: YOU'RE fat!
Commenter #2: Bite me!

It's like what you see written on the inside of a bathroom stall! It's ridiculously boring...and predictable. So don't even write any comments about your opinions on the 'plus-size model shtick'. If you want to get into that whole schpeel, you can comment here.

This post is more-so a comment on the magazines publishing unflattering photos--honestly it makes her cause seem like a laughing stock, IN MY OPINION. Especially when she's done a lot better in the past. These two photos don't even compare--

  1. O gosh that first photo is so unflattering. And she is so beautiful. And she might be a plus size model but she is anything but fat. This chick is fit! Plus that last photo of her stunning!!!

  3. That poor girl - she'll be humiliateed now. Why would they even do that to someone as gorgeous as her? That's horrible, she's such a beautiful girl too, just an unflattering picture.

  6. Everything about that photo is extremely awkward. Her body is so contorted...I think the worst part is the legs - a pose like that wouldn't look flattering for anyone. I've seen her other work and know she's a fantastic model.
