Yeah -- back to Tyra.... Missy is so right. Because she does seem to be on both sides of the issue.
She was blasted recently for being 'fat'. 161 pounds, at 5'10".
She responded that her weight has fluctuated between 148, and 161 since she retired from modeling. And that since she is retired, she is no longer needs to meet those strict 'modeling' requirement.
So... I still don't really like her. That fake drama on America's Top Model was enough to turn me off.
But... I respect her for letting herself be a 'normal' person, and not freaking out about putting on a little weight.
She says she still feels 'hot'. And she definitely is. I guess I wish she would try to do something about the freakishly thin modeling standards though.
I guess awhile back, 3 or 4 Brazillian models died from anorexia? And the modeling industry was taking a lot of heat about it. And the one model ... Giselle something or other.. says it's not the modeling industry, it's the family, and that she has never had a problem because she has such a supportive family. But how can you not blame an industry that puts so much pressure on girls to be sooooo thin? Maybe the ones with a supportive family can endure it better, but I thought that was a pretty lame defense for the modeling industry. I don't know -- it's kind of like my mother-in-law and cigarettes. It's proven that they cause cancer, but since she smoked, and doesn't have cancer, then they must be making that stuff up! Anyone else know anyone like this?
Wow- I am really being random tonight.
