Famous plus sized model, Crystal Renn has a memoir, Hungry, co-written with Marjorie Ingall. Check out a great interview with her on Jezebel.

Crystal Renn strikes a pose, or two, for the current edition of Aussie Harper’s Bazaar shot by Luis Sanchis.  Proud to pose in sexy bustiers, skin tight dresses, and sheer lingerie, Renn takes inspiration from Beth Ditto, showcasing her body (she used to be anorexic and now proudly sports a size 12 figure). Stylist Wayne Gross went for an  80’s-inspired look with luscious red lips and cream-perfect skin.

Only downfall, the shadowing in a few of the shots make her look as though she has cellulite, which is def not the case. Crystal has such great legs, and I’m glad Wayne put her in so many mini dresses…

Finally! A plus-size model story with success, confidence, recognition and a happy ending! If you think back a few years to the runways of Vena Cava, Heatherette and most notably, Jean Paul Gaultier, you’ll probably remember seeing a model that looked a little out of place…a plus size model. Although model Crystal Renn started off as a thin model in the industry, after being told to lose 1/3 of her body fat she threw in the towel. That decision, my friends, has made all the difference. Renn gained 70lbs, putting her back at a normal and healthier body weight, and was re-marked by agents as a plus-size model. Happy, healthy and on scoring editorials in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar. Honestly, what could be better!? I don’t care if Crystal Renn is a size 2 or a size 12, she is the woman that this starving, corrupt modeling industry needs.
