Cindy Crawford discusses her cellulite, we call B.S.
editor
Have you ever noticed how
super-beautiful, perfect-bodied, posthuman celebs will often make a
point to talk about how
very normal they are, how they
never get hit on/ how a boy broke up with them in 7th grade/how
they were always nerdy and felt ugly/how they sit home and watch
bad TV while devouring Cheetos, just like us!
Well...the latest famous person to try this "I'm
relatable" line of interview answering is Cindy Crawford, who
explained to this month's
Redbook magazine: "I have cellulite. I admit it."
Still, Crawford says, "Screw it. I am wearing this bikini, and
I am not putting on a cover-up."
Excuse us while we barf a little bit.
We get it, most women feel
self-conscious about their bodies, and Crawford, being a former
supermodel, probably has more pressure to look good than most. But,
really? There has to be some serious body dysmorphia going
on if this woman is sincere, if she genuinely considers it an act
of courage and defiance to wear a bikini. I mean,
look at
her. These pictures were taken this summer. Where is the
cellulite hiding? Does she have a nocturnal form of cellulite
that's scared of the light? Is her cellulite a polite friend
who only visits when invited? Or is Crawford, who's hawking a
new housewares line for everywoman chain J.C. Penney, just trying
to seem more like the rest of us, and not like a 43-year-old,
freak-of-nature, mother of two who swims on yachts in string
bikinis in the body of 20-year-old? Next, we'll hear she's
gorging on Cheetos. Sigh.
