With the Great Gatsby himself….
Whoooooop! Hosted my first ever LIVE Red Carpet last night for the Great Gatsby Premiere in NYC! Sooo much fun, excellent movie and incredible cast! Baz even said he liked my dress! Yeah!
What goes into creating a “beauty image”? Two hours of hair and make up and a lot of retouching! Here’s a little insight into my day at work. The before and after shots.
Geez.
Although I’m all in favour of promoting ALL kinds of healthy body types, I do think we should question our use of the term “real women”.
Why does celebrating one physical characteristic (like skinniness or curviness) always seems to negate the value of its opposite, even if that opposite is just as natural and just as good?
You know what real women are? Curvy, yes, but also slender. And athletic. And muscular. And short and tall and big-hipped and small-chested and hourglass and skinny as a toothpick. And all the combinations in between.
If you are flesh and blood and identify as a woman, you’re not only a real woman, but you’re also a beautiful woman.
Working as a model and also for my own satisfaction and health, its a daily investment to maintain a toned, slim figure. Why should having a low percentage of body fat deem me as not “real”? Am I an android or a figment of your imagination?
Perhaps as a society we should work harder to promote that a REAL healthy body image is available in multiple sizes!
A huge round of applause for a swedish retailer using ‘Real Size’ mannequins in their stores! It’s about time! How long till other stores follow suit?
Mighty fine arm candy ;)

Audrey Hepburn - “I believe in pink, I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing. Kissing a lot! I believe in staying strong when everything appears to be going wrong. I believe that happiest girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” (Taken with Instagram)
