NY Times Article On Crystal Renn...The Triumph Of The Size 12s...

The other day, NY Times did an article on Crystal Renn. It could have used more pictures, as it only described what she was wearing, but over all a great article.

My take on the V Mag 'One Size Fits All' Issue

So I have been noticing that there's been a lot of talk about the V Mag issue featuring Crystal Renn and her thinner counterpart Jacquelyn Jablonski. I was pretty happy to see a "plus sized" model next to the very thin model standing next to her. I think Crystal Renn looks beautiful and much better than the size zero model in each and every picture:





Here's my only problem with the pictures: it really appears as if they seriously photoshopped weight off of Crystal Renn. I could be wrong but I was browsing through other shots of her online and found this pretty recent shot of her from Glamour Magazine:

That's quite a noticeable difference in size. So my question is, what is the point then? If the average sized model (Crystal Renn) is photoshopped to look still thinner, the message that being beautiful at any size is completely lost. Just my opinion.
