"Most runway models meet the Body Mass Index physical criteria for Anorexia"
Plus Model Magazine
No real news, but the editorial by Plus Model Magazine still makes me worry. Not only runway models become thinner and thinner, even plus size models have to shed some kilos. Around ten years ago these models were size 12 to 18, whereas today they start at size 6 in most agencies. I am a size 6 myself, like most of my girlfriends and I would not consider any of us anywhere near plus size! Very alarming. Unfortunately it is not only the models who set this standards, just look at stars like Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham. I love VB, mind you, but she gives young girls the impression that we all have to be a size 0 which - let's face it - is not realistic for the majority of women.
The model of Plus Model Magazine's editorial, Katya Zharkova is a size 16 and happy with her body. In my opinion, this is the most important message: be happy with your body, may it be a size 0 or a size 16...
Meg Matthews, ex-wife of Oasis's Noel Gallagher recently tweeted this modelling photo of her 11-year old daughter Anais - twice! Yes, I can understand that she's a proud mom, Anais looks gorgeous. She is even said to be the new Kate Moss and has already been signed to Select, the modeling agency that Erin Heatherton works with. It seems like there's a new generation of models coming up, with Anais and Lottie Moss (Kate's little half-sister).
Heidi Klum was shooting yesterday with Michael Kors at the Beverly Hills Hotel for the cover of the German Vogue. Can't wait for the results, I love Heidi.
Noah Mills and Gisele Bündchen in Jamaica... What a beautiful trio! Great Salvatore Ferragamo Spring Summer 2012 advertising campaign shoot. Sorry peeps, gotta go, I have to book my next vacation ;)
It is finally time for my first blog entry and what better way to start than with THE news of the new year? Yes, I am talking about Blue Ivy Carter, our new It baby. Congratulations to Beyonce Knowles and rapper-hubby Jay-Z to the birth of their first baby girl.
The couple reportedly rented a whole floor of the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City where Beyonce had a scheduled caesarian section on 7th January 2012, paying around $1.3 million.
So what is it with the name though? We were all wondering, but here's the reason for this unusual name: Blue stands for Jay-Z's series of albums with the name "Blueprint". Ivy stands for the Roman number 4 which is Beyonce's and Jay-Z's lucky number - both their birthdays' are on the 4th , they got married on the 4th and both have matching IV tattoos.
Now that this is clarified, we are waiting for the first official pictures of little Blue Ivy and I am already very excited to see what the daughter of two fashion entrepreneurs will be wearing. I am pretty sure though that she will be a little baby stylista, just like Suri Cruise and Harper Seven.
But Blue Ivy will probably not only have a closet the size of an apartment before she even can walk, Beyonce, Jay-Z & friends already spent around 1.5 million US dollars on toys and baby accessories. Among them a golden rocking horse, a Bugatti toy car and a Swarovski encrusted baby bathtub, courtesy of former Destiny's Child band mate Kelly Rowland. Blue Ivy will certainly grow up a little princess...
