Lovelyish

I have no clue why they would photoshop her. She is not fat. She looks good. 

i think its just the clothes shes wearing and the way shes standing

I do not understand why curves would be undesirable… Most women have them. 

I would like to see those who publish the photos. Are so thin?

@Starving_For_Perfection__x3@xanga - That’s what I thought, too.

it doesn’t look like a drastic difference. high waisted underwear is unflattering and makes the hips appear wider than they actually are even on slim women.

she looks like the girl from the prison break tv show, robin tunney.

Why are people so eager to blame? As a model myself, I have learned that lighting and angles can make all the difference. It’s totally believeable to me that both photos can be of the same shoot and be completely unretouched. Don’t automatically pass blame on photo editors unless you are there when it goes to print.

I don’t see much of a difference….

Pardon my language, but how the FUCK is she plus sized?!

@kppuglisi@xanga - agreed! wtf?

Plus sized models should NOT be photo-shopped to look thinner; especially not Crystal. She is a model that is a well known plus sized hero. She is gorgeous, curvy and hot. 

Plus sizes shouldn’t be photoshopped that much.  Maybe a bit just to make the image look cleaner, but not to drastically change the body of the model.  Especially plus sized models since they’re supposed to be catering to a different crowd then ultra thin minus size models.  And even the thin models shouldn’t be overly shopped, but meh photo retouchers often get caught up in the retouching and just keep going, sometimes they don’t even realize how much they change the person until they’re done and then they spent so much time they just leave it that way.

ohhh I would love to look like the unphotoshopped version of her. 

No I don’t think she must be or even could be photoshopped. In fact, if the photographer doesn’t think they are pretty with their actual weigt, why doesn’t he take another model ??? There is no need to take a plus size model to slimmer her…

@brittany_7x@xanga - She is not plus size here(because extremely photoshopped), but she is indeed.
Here, it’s more obvious for exemple

I don’t care if the first one was photoshopped, she looks really great in that one. 

she is considered plus sized??  what a friggin’ joke…the whole industry should just be taken out back and shot…they make me tired…

@kppuglisi@xanga - In modeling, anything over 6 is plus-sized.

How many times do we have to ask this question.  Who cares?  These pictures don’t look that much different from what she really looks like.@MissAshleyXOXO@xanga - I agree with you.  Lighting makes a huge difference in how someone looks in a photo.

im sorrry did you just refer to her as a plus size model/??? wtf shes not even fat!1111 the fact that they photoshoped her i the first place is rediculous but i cant believe you just refered to her as plus size..

i don’t see why the photoshopped picture is bad?? she looks perfectly fine. as models they don’t want any bulges, and that just happens naturally no matter what you do so they fix it. people need to get over photoshopping models and celebrities, it’s supposed to look good so they make it look perfect

She’s so prettyyyyy. 

i think curves are beautiful.. i don’t know why anyone would photoshop them off.

i wish i had curves!

I like her fat ass better when it’s photoshopped.

@Starving_For_Perfection__x3@xanga - me too.

@JusticeCho@xanga - i agree. if they are “plus sized” then, why bother hiring the model if you’re still going to photoshop them looking like that!

@bamxocandy@xanga - yea, when i think of plus sized, i don’t see her that way, too! But, in the modeling world, she’s labeled as that. ; O

@akanita@xanga - Exactly! And don’t men love curves? Hello! Yes, girls and women can be slender, but stick thin is just unreal!

The model industry… -sigh-

@watermoolen@xanga - thats just absolutly ridiculous

She wasn’t photoshopped. She’s lost a lot of weight. It’s a big scandal because she’s not been labeled as a ‘hypocrite’.

photoshop takes out the beauty of everything now.

It honestly doesn’t look overly photoshopped to me.  The poses and outfits are different, and you’d be surprised how a good pair of skinny jeans can make you look pounds lighter!  Also, in the first picture, she has her legs pressed together, which generally makes your thighs look bigger.  In the second photo, she has her legs apart, which makes them appear smaller as they’re not touching.  He thighs still go out from the waist, while most photoshopped models have straight lines.  I’m sure it has been touched up and photoshopped a bit, but that’s to be expected.

Again, you idiots who write these articles do not know what ‘plus sized’ is. Stop writing this shit if you can’t even categorize people correctly, unless you’re just screwing up to get a reaction out of people- if so, congratulations.

@Kyuketsuki_no_Megami@xanga - google Crystal Renn. She is considered a plus sized model.

eh, it doesn’t look that bad. at least she’s not missing an arm or a leg.

she looks the same to me…

She is beautiful and definitely should not be photoshopped!! 

@Kyuketsuki_no_Megami@xanga - The writer is not an idiot, in the world of modeling plus size is viewed much different than how you or I view it. Even a size 6 is considered plus size

She should be very angry, they are inadvertently telling her she inst good enough not to be photo-shopped. I say stop photo shopping her because she is good enough shes not perfect and she doesn’t need to be, all she has to do is be real.

lol… i disliked reading her book anyways so might as well be done to her

it’s easy to blame photoshop when most don’t understand how much of a difference posing and lighting can make

they photoshopped the boobs away!(insert tears here)  SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!!

That can’t be plus sized… O_o

This is definitely messed up. she may be plus size but she’s still pretty, there’s NO reason to change her, she’s beautiful how the she because of how she is. I don’t get the media.

damn she’s hott.

I think it makes no sense to photoshop “plus-sized models” to be thinner – isn’t the point that they’re “plus-sized”?

uhm.. shes not even plus sized. shes smaller than me. and I’m a 7…

She doesn’t look very different, and you can’t compare, since those are two different pictures. Also, I’m pretty sure that’s a corset she’s wearing in the ‘Photoshopped’ one.

@RawrYouDo@xanga - in the modelling world, that IS plus sized, sadly.

How can you tell?

She looks beautiful in the first picture!

I agree her thighs look a lot smaller in the second picture, and a different shape to boot. If they don’t want models the shape they are, they shouldn’t hire them. I want to see real women, not animations of what the media want the female form to be.
