in the news: crystal renn.

I think this leading lady on the runway, Crystal Renn, is one of the most stunning women ever. At any size - she looks exquisite. Yet it baffles me why the news is still harping on her about her weight. She has a bad breakup, she went hiking with her mom, she embraced a healthy lifestyle, and enjoys working out. Not everything has to be a tragic woe is me story, and I look up to Crystal for eloquently defending her demeanor. Such a beautiful inspiration!

 ‘I've been a double-zero, children's clothes, at 95 pounds, and I've been all the way up to a size 16 and everything in between. [Now I’m] a 6, 8, sometimes a 10 depending on what designer I'm wearing. And that's an interesting place to be in fashion, where extremes are the norm.’  

Crystal has previously said, ‘I want the women who look up to me as a role model to know that I haven’t set out to lose weight… I’m trying to be who I am and not let anyone else dictate what weight I should be.’ 

‘No matter what size you are, the most important thing is health — and you can be healthy at many different sizes.  I didn't make the rules, I am breaking them.’
