So Crystal says she was photo shopped to look thinner. One of our most famous curvy beauties  had her body digitally redesigned to appeal to some one’s misguided fashion standard. I am not happy and neither is she…

“Well, I was shocked. When I saw the pictures, I think I was silent for a good five minutes, staring with my mouth open. I don’t know what was done to those photos or who did it, but they look retouched to me. And listen, everybody retouches, but don’t make me into something I’m not.

[Reached for comment, photographer Nicholas Routzen explained that Crystal looks the way she does because the photos were “…taken from a higher angle with a wider lens.” But he also added, “I shaped her…I did nothing that I wouldn’t do to anyone. I’m paid to make women look beautiful.”]

Yes Nick love but it’s your idea of beauty that we dispute!

And it doesn’t stop there, with Julien MacDonald thoughtlessly declaring plus size models a joke.

You can see some of us have our work cut out!

That’s why I’m contributing to the Lib Dem Body Confidence campaign and that’s also why All Walks the campaign I co-founded with Erin O’Connor and Debra Bourne is going from strength to strength. Let me know what you think as every body counts.
