How phenomenal is Crystal Renn looking?! Although this was my favorite of all of her shots in this year's issue of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition I think she looked radiant and most importantly healthy in all of them. Although she may have burst onto the scene as a plus size model, subsequently earning notoriety for her weight loss thereafter I think these photos (and this one in particular) prove what she has said all along.- that she wasn't born to be runway model skinny but neither was she born to be plus size but that she was meant to be somewhere in between.
I hope her inclusion in Sports Illustrated, and her continued presence in fashion magazines, shows that you don't have to be extreme to be a model (whether skinny or large) beautiful, healthy girls with an average weight still have a place in the pages of magazines.
