From Madison Plus:
Crystal Renn has been ranked in the Top 50 Women Models on Models.com! Crystal came in on the list at #36 and is the only model that is above the standard model size of 0/2 to make the ranking. This is a defining moment in not only her career but for all models.
Models.com introduced her on the Top 50 list with the following summary…
“With back to back issues of Vogue Paris, serious rotation in V magazine, a Gaultier campaign this season and runway presence for Gaultier and Chanel the message is clear. Crystal Renn is simply put, an extraordinarily good model.”
Check out Crystal Renn on Models.com here.
What do you think of Crystal ranking on the Top 50? Do you agree with ranking #36?

@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - Why?

I think it’s great. She’s a wonderful example of how “plus-sized” does NOT mean “fat.” And she is proof that you don’t have to be a size 0 or 2 to be fucking hot.

@needmoreink@xanga - i just dont find them attractive.

@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - Fair enough.

She’s skinny… or maybe the angles they took the picture at make her look skinner?.. because how can that be a plus sized model

@jaclyn - Because the fashion industry is unbelievably sizeist and fucked-up. They would like us all to believe that that if we don’t fit into sample sizes, we fit into a different (and less desirable) category. Screwwww that!
guest
She’s pretty, but I find it strange that she looks so small from the waist up, but the waist down is what puts her into the category of “plus-sized”. Think they might ever get a model with real cheeks?
guest
she’s gorgeous.
guest
Good for her. She’s certainly the face for plus-sized models. And, for the most part, she knows how to actually model (wish I could say the same for some size 0 models :/ )
guest
@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - You don’t have to hate an entire category of models because you don’t find them attractive.. real mature of you.
She looks great, good for her!
guest
She looks great as always even though she is not skinny :)

Good for her! Did anyone see her on the Today show the other day? She was beautiful and intelligent. She’s an excellent role model for girls everywhere.
guest

guest
Oh my god. How dare she have boobs and ass?

She has a great body<3

Hot! I like that she’s bigger than the average model, without promoting obesity. She’s just right. Gorgeous!
guest
sure, she looks great.
she should be considered plus-sized, for a model of course. it’s an industry. it’s artificial.
normally she’s be in average weight range, not slim nor overweight. for people who are aghast at her being considered plus-sized…it should be noted that the plus-sized models who are considerably larger are, health-wise, overweight/obese. just like size 0-2 models shouldn’t be a standard for women to compare herself to, neither should plus-sized models. being emaciated is not healthy, but neither is being overweight or obese.

@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - you should drink more.

Ok I looked it up, crystal renn wears a size 10. TEN PEOPLE. Since when is size ten plus size? Just because she has curves she’s an average person… not plus size.
guest
She’s gorgeous! And horray that she even made the top 50!
Who cares if she’s the only one, at least they HAVE one.

Wow I’ve totally seen that first picture of her, thought it was gorgeous, and posted it on my tumblr. I woulda never known she’s plus sized. She really just looks like any other skinny model on the left photo. I think she is the actual meaning of ‘plus-size’. She isn’t fat, she is just bigger proportionately, and still looking really good.

shes awesome, good for her
i just wish there were more petite runway models out there…if there are any.

I think it’s funny/odd that the modeling industry doesn’t have models that reflect society, but some dream unattainable fantasy ideal, yet they don’t point out that they are different. They try to make us believe that everybody should LOOK that way, since looks are what they are all about, nothing more, nothing less. Modeling and Fashion is a form of art, yet they are just projecting something that’s not real. Modeling/Fashion is less and less of a reflection of society, but if we buy into their art, we are supposed to be unreal and “fantasy.”

OMG. A size 10 made the list?! Well, that’s just morbidly obese . . .
*note sarcasm*

She’s gorgeous. Her face if INCREDIBLY pretty.
guest
She’s gorgeous, but I find it upsetting that she was the only one included…it shows that we have a long way to go before the fashion industry really accepts any size above a 0…btw, since when is a size above a 0 considered plus-size? What the fuck?
guest
props to her
guest
@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - I hate anorexics. I just don’t find them attractive.
guest
she doesn’t even look plus sized.
guest
She’s gorgeous! I didn’t look at all of the other models, so I can’t really say if I think her spot is too low/high.
guest
Yeah, I was reading somewhere that 10 is considered plus size. I disagree. I would consider that average. I consider size 14+ plus sized (unless someone was a size 12 and obviously obese/overweight), but that’s just me.
She doesn’t look “plus size” at all.
guest
I think she’s gorgeous! She is sooo tiny to me, though. I’m glad she made it.
orchid / 153 posts
She should be in the top.
guest
@itwaswritteninblood@xanga - and they hate you. Cool.
guest
why does curves= plus sized?
guest
They photoshopped the shit out of her. Unless she has lost a significant amount of weight in the past few months.
guest
@In_the_Violet_Hour@xanga - I agree, I don’t think 10 is plus sized.
Also, she can’t be a size 10 in tops. Her top is a lot smaller than her bottom.. well her hips/butt(?).
