The Curvy Model

daisyjanine:

The first picture is of Crystal Renn when she first got into modelling - I’m reading her book atm, and she says a scout told her she had the face to be a supermodel - but she had to loose A THIRD of her body weight. She did this - and sadly became dangerously underweight and developed anorexia.

Now, she’s the top plus size model in the industry, plus the top paid. Funnily enough, she became more sucessful WHEN she put the weight on. This is the after pic. I think she’s beautiful now.

It is sooo good to see people reading her book. Renn rocks. :)

1st day of spring break!!!!

Catching up on a bit of reading before I go into work today (@modcloth!). MY OUTFIT is rockin’! I seriously feel like a bad ass. lol

I feel good this morning, got a good nights rest. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday. This week is going to be a good one!

So, I read when I am supposed to be studying…. Reading is educational so I feel a little better. haha

Not sure if you can tell from the photo, but I am reading Hungry by Crystal Renn. I really enjoy it. I am about halfway done with it, and gosh I cannot stop looking at the cover photo. She is flawless, and I have practiced her pose in the mirror like a nerd…. But I think I have it down (if your lucky I will show you a photo later) haha

Back to the book: So, I can only read a little bit at a time due to my demanding life…haha The problem about it for me is I really put myself into a book, I feel what the character feels. So, when I read about Crystal Renn’s starving herself I felt as though I was starving myself too- leading me to barely eat the rest of the day. But that is beyond the point of the book, I do not want to talk too much about it because I believe EVERY girl who struggles with her physical appearance should pick it up. I like writing in my books so I wrote a lot of “Yes“‘s next to lines I agree with… I can’t say I disagree with anything she has said thus far.

Her story is brilliant, she is a lovely woman. Now I feel as though she is more of a normal person, and I cannot wait to meet her. *Cough* when I sign with Ford models *cough*… I am going to an open call after New Years! FOR SURE this time. I will blog all about my experiences and such.

Ok, I need to get back to Spanish. Love you all!!

Oh no! Where is Crystal Renn??!?!?! She isn’t in my newsletters for Evans anymore! :(

But guess what? My boyfriend decided to send me Hungry by Crystal as a gift. He is the best, and that book is what I need for inspiration… Actually, I have no idea if it is inspiring at all. Maybe its more of a autobiography.

Has anyone read it yet? Annnnd??

OMG, how did I not know this was coming?!?!?! Wow, I swear I am so out of the loop sometimes.
