Crystal Renn: Always an Inspiration to Me
Ever since I discovered who Crystal Renn was, and ever since I learned her story, she's been an inspiration. No, she may not be "plus-sized" anymore, which is a reason a lot of people, particularly plus sized women, looked up to her. Because she was a plus-sized woman, a successful
plus sized women making a place for herself in the world, and making a statement that you didnt need to be a size zero to be successful. No she may not be plus sized anymore, but that doesnt mean that she's not an important icon to fuller women, but to women in general. She is, she's not only an important icon to the fashion world but to the world in general.
I honestly do believe she speaks the truth. Health is different for every single person. No one person can tell someone else that they are not healthy. Im sick of people looking at a women and stating that their "bashing" is not to hurt anyones feelings, but just to make a point that someone is unhealthy. WHEN THEY DONT KNOW YOU AT ALL.
The media is a big reason we feel pressured to fit a certain standard that they have set for us. Well, NEWS FLASH not all women want to be thin. And its no one's business how you feel about your body, no one can say wether you are healthy or not. Love you body, and if you want to change it, make sure your doing it for you. If you spend your life trying to please other people, you'll never be happy.
just my two cents
