In the recent posting of the anonymous blog Skinny Gossip, the publisher wrote all kinds of terrible things about Kate Upton, saying ridiculous things like Kate is 30 pounds over weight. GET REAL! That is mean! This is not the late 80’s or the 90’s where good looking, healthy models were looked upon as unqualified or serious because their bodies didn’t have bones sticking out from being so skinny. Back then, if a model had cleavage or curves she could maybe become a pin-up, but the catwalk was out of reach, unless you were Anna Nicole Smith or Claudia Shiffer.
Thank God we’re no longer disillusioned by those horrible examples of emaciated models who looked like little boys, starved and developed eating disorders and drug habits to “fit the mold” of what the fashion industry demanded. Young American women should have the right self-assessment when looking at a model. Kudos for Kate Upton to stand up for herself! This is 2012 and models like Kim Kardashian, celebrities like JLo and Eva Mendes and now Kate Upton are helping young girls and young women find self-esteem by being honest with a more healthy and happy look. To thine own self be true!
