Alongside
the bajillion youtube videos of her dancing in her bikini, she also
has some exciting fashion credentials including Muse and Vogue Spain.
She's going to cover CR Fashion Book, Carine Roitfeld's post Vogue
venture, she went to the Met Ball and in Harpers Bazaar she looks
amazing. I've provided evidence for your eyeballing.
Fashionista's
celebrating her because she's not just a pretty face but has a “model
personality” too. Buzzfeed's Amy Donnell loves her because she
looks 'different.' Have you ever opened Nuts before Amy? And creepy
pro-thin websites including Skinny Gossip hate her. One of the
comments on the New York Daily's reports on Skinny Gossip's cruel
comments says: “Show's
how ignorant and misinformed they are. Leave the girl alone. They
finally have a normal size/looking girl on magazines and they're
trying to tear her appart.”
For
me, we're having the wrong conversation. There's nothing normal about
Kate Upton's proportions, just like there's nothing normal about
Christina Hendricks (remember when everyone got excited about her
boobs.) If most of us eat a pie, we get pimples and a new
stretchmark, not bountiful baps. Kate Upton is insanely beautiful,
but I'm not going to celebrate her because she's supposedly
'different' because that would be an absolute disservice to all the
boobilicious models that have been walking the earth FOREVER.
She's
not too fat and she's not too thin because the only person who can
have an opinion on that is your Doctor. My problem is this: don't
try to convince me that I should be blown over by her winning
personality because as far as I can see there's zero evidence for it.
Seriously, stop telling me it's there and SHOW ME. I haven't read any
interviews where she really says
anything. True, I don't hate Mossy for that but Kate Moss has built
an empire on her brand of icy arrogance which I totally respect.
No-one ever said, 'God I love Kate Moss, she's just so pretty and
fun.' She's a bit of a scary bitch and I love women like that. Not
the ones that are happy to bounce around, laughing at your bad jokes,
so enchanted by the little things in life. Kate Upton is like a human
embodiment of a wink.
It's
like when they interview the page 3 girl and she says, '"I
don't have a problem with boys talking to my boobs, have a look if
you want!" and you think, 'what a fucking liar.'
Say something! Say something that's not on the script!
For
me, Kate Upton's too safe. I love lots of fashion models because
they're exactly the opposite. I hate that we're all celebrating an
exceptionally conventionally beautiful woman: a nice white, blonde
lady with 'curves in all the right places' and she's supposed to be
different? Buzzfeed so nicely put up a picture of Anja Rubik
to prove their point about “runways'
preferred insanely skinny — yet muscley! — mold.” Because Kate
Upton's beautiful! Look at horrible Anja! And somehow
the fashion industry is still the one coming out looking like a total
bitch.
It's
still super early in Upton's career and I'm being slightly cruel
because I'm sure that she (and plenty of other glamorous ladies) get
asked lots of stupid questions which can only be followed by
similarly stupid answers. But for now, if I want to watch a model
dancing, I don't want it to be the self-conscious, calculated, filmed
by TERRY RICHARDSON efforts of Kate Upton. Coco Rocha, you're
officially my favourite dancing model.
