Hungry: Crystal Renn

But I hate that she is considered Plus Size, I mean come on!

Shes a straight size model, but there is no industry for normal sized women, so shes celebrated as a 'plus' size model, when she isnt. Thats why we have size 10s modeling for Lane Bryant.

The psychology of how the fashion industry jumps from runway model size to plus size is fascinating. "If you are not a size 3, then you are considered the 'other' and there is a whole other industry out there for you called 'plus'."

If anything, if I were a straight sized gal, Id be cheesed. Straight sized gals voice: "Where is my industry for the average sized woman? Im not plus or runway size, Im average."

Funny, I was discussing just these ideas with my mother yesterday. The conversation about this was inspired by this thread. We must have been on the same wave length Lady Day!
