"Um, Karolina, You're Like, So Fat!"

partner

Um, HUGE bodysnarking alert! You'd think Brazilian fashion journalists would have learned their lesson after a 21-year-old native model Ana Carolina Reston made headlines when she died of anorexia, forcing the entire industry to a call to arms regarding promoting new standards when it comes to projecting healthier body images.

So what the heck were reporters thinking when according to Catwalkqueen, critics called out 24-year-old supermodel Karolina Kurkova for having "back fat, love handles and cellulite" and looking "uncharacteristically chubby" when she appeared in a Cia Maritima show during Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

See, this is why models starve themselves and women (and now men, too) follow suit! For the record, I've been to several of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows (of which Karolina is a star), and ya know what? Almost every girl has a bit of cellulite--some more than others. Why? Because most women, even (gasp!) models, have cellulite, that's why. Argh this pisses me off so much. In fact, I'm surprised no one commented on the fact that at the ripe old age of 24, she's a runway "hag" too. I hope Karolina is all like, "Whatev's losers!"

But somehow, I doubt that.

    Her body looks HOT, but that fake tan is really spotty! Keep the extra pounds!

    I think that's sexy. Some meat on a girl is appealing. I don't understand the appeal of skeletons in clothes.

    There is a difference between out of shape and fat... just because someone is not toned does not make them fat... this is why people have eating disorders!

    I have to say, when I heard about this it broke my heart. This girl is a model!!!!! Fat? I think not. I could only imagine what her mother must think about about this. How horrible. Maybe they should put Kim Kardashian in the same outfit at let her walk that runway. People are such assholes.......
