OMG this model has the most perfect bod!

LJV1031

Wow... People think she's FAT??? I have a very similar body type to her, (big boobs, flat stomach, and could stand to work on my obliques a little more, lol) and I DON'T have the 5'10" height that she has (5'5" here). She's a beautiful girl, curvier than most NON-plus size models, but she's working every inch of what she has. If you look at some of her pictures and videos, you'll see it is also all in the angles, whether she looks "fat" or not. I watched a video of her doing her "dance" in a youtube video... not the one in the bikini, but with jeans and a sweater and her legs are so thin.

Off topic : I will say from watching her on a couple of youtube videos, I don't like the way she portrays herself, but hey, she's 20, making money, and having fun, so who am I to judge. :drinker:

You should check out that skinnygossip.com article. It's the weirdest thing ever. On the one hand they are trying to be so nice about it but basically they feel she's way too fat for a model and they absolutely hate the way she portrays herself.

I'm not sure where I stand about skinnygossip. On the one hand they are sharing their opinion and at points they seem to be trying to be nice but on the other hand they often cross the line.

Thanks... I'm going to check out the article. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I won't judge them for their's therefore I can agree to disagree about some things posted here, but I don't think the matter of this girl being FAT is up for discussion. There's just NO way. I've looked up her height/weight/measurements/pictures/videos! No way she's in an even SLIGHTLY above normal BMI and/or body fat percentage. :noway: LOL

I think the issue is that everyone is picking apart other people's bodies. Do I think she is gorgeous - YES! Do I think it's awesome that there is some variety in the body types of models these days? ABSOLUTELY!
But the folks who are picking her apart as chubby need to realize - it's ok if you don't want to look like her - but realize that her body is a goal for some folks, and picking apart her tummy and thighs is probably making some folks on here feel like crap.

If the OP finds inspiration in aspiring for their body to look like hers - great!

Calling bones gross might make some of the few people who are naturally that thin feel un-beautiful. Variety adds spice to life... beauty is subjective. We all have our preferences, and that is A-ok.

I have sometimes said negative things about the "too thin" look - mainly because I do feel like it is preferred in our society to the point of it being UNHEALTHY, because so many women partake in unhealthy lifestyles to attain that look.... but I'm trying to moderate my immediate response to that.

I DO think it's funny that people will say "if people call people fat they get attacked, but it's ok to call skinny people unattractive" IN A THREAD WHERE PEOPLE ARE SAYING A MODEL IS CHUBBY, AND THEY DON'T FIND HER ATTRACTIVE.

It goes both ways, it's not cool either way.

Her body type happens to appeal to me, though my boobs will never be THAT big - I'm more of a pear...

I've said it so many times but why is chubby bad?

The people making the thin comments are being very disparaging about it. Insinuating that thin isn't beautiful and/or unattractive.

While I called Kate chubby I NEVER SAID IT WAS UNATTRACTIVE.

I don't know. I suppose because I'm fat I think chubby is a good thing. Haha. But yeah... I just think it's an unflattering picture of her. I've seen others where she looks completely svelte too.

I understand what you are saying but for many chubby has a negative connotation. For the record, I feel the same about skinny. I wouldn't want to be called either, especially if I was in a place I worked really hard to get to. I have never heard someone use chubby as a compliment. I have heard people use skinny to compliment someone, although its not always taken that way.
I don't think chubby = unattractive.

As for the model, I think she is gorgeous. Not my version of "perfect" but I can see why many think she is.

MY NEW INSPIRATION = Model Kate Upton !!!! Cant believe the media is calling her FAT! And saying horrible things about her, shes sooooooo beautiful!

MEDIA IS DUMB STUPID AND IDIOTIC...THIS IS WHAT A REAL WOMAN LOOKS LIKE....CURVACEOUS AND SEXY....GET IT KATE

Soooo women that are thinner or fatter or look like anything else are not real?? that makes no sence.

Missdjslim

Hope she got them on sale....lol

LaLouve_RK

In the 50s, the healthy look was the norm.
Where did we stumble from then to now...???

daking639

She looks even better in a "paint bikini" ! Complements of a GQ magazine shoot.

Quoted for truth!

lolagurlx0x0

I think she's amazing- But too small for me. Take that world.

jjennasmithh

If I didn't want muscles like I do, this would be the perfect body! So not fat!!

I agree, but if my body can look like this one day, I will be happy!

DrMAvDPhD

Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says, “Kate Upton does appear to have breast implants as revealed by the very distinct and sharp transition from her full cleavage to her chest. Her breast augmentation fits her frame well and balances out her proportions.”

This is the first thing I noticed, the transition from full cleavage to chest, it's a dead give away to implants, so those are not fat rolls, the're silicon rolls.. lol

the real thing...

Mine fit this description and they are real. Why do we have to label this poor woman as fake?? She has a round butt, big boobs, and a defined waist. This can occur naturally, and she looks natural to me.

Emancipated_Tai

I knew it was going to her.. after watching that video of her doing the cat daddy she can do no wrong in my book :drinker:

jjennasmithh

I also don't see the VS models as "super anorexic". They are where they are for a reason.

I think they all look toned and healthy IMO

I agree, beautiful

Sharyn913

Gorgeous!!

wsuduce

Agreed.

DrMAvDPhD

She is deff NOT overweight. She has meat on her bones.. which makes her healthy.

She's a good example of what a healthy person (who isn't looking for a more muscular body) could aim for.

so, because a person has less meat on their bones, i.e. less body fat, that makes them UNhealthy? Um, no.

They clearly stated that their are other healthy options in their post, stop trying to be offended where there is no offense meant.

they clearly stated she hast meat on her bones, which makes her healthy.... so, I merely asked a question. Thank you very much. :flowerforyou:

MEAT = muscle and fat (actually, usually means muscle). If you have NO meat and NO fat, you are a skeleton and not healthy. She didnt say that you have to have that amount of meat on your bones to be healthy. You're trying to put words in her mouth and start more drama on a board that already has drama.

lruff1987

Seriously??? Even people on MFP think she's a "bit overweight" or a little "chubby?" That bothers me...

meechi53

Wow she is AMAZING looking! When I think of the ideal body of what I'd like to have, that is absolutely what comes to mind. I don't need a 6 pack or to be "cut"...I just need to be firm and curvy.

I bet that with "media" you probably mean a frustrated journalist who got annoyed with her husband/boyfriend saying that Kate Upton was a bit of alright.

I also bet that you will find very few straight men who would call her fat

wifeygrooms

She is beautiful but in all honesty she is a little bit chubby (not fat but definitely a little overweight). That doesn't detract from her beauty though.


Over weight really...You gotta be kidding me... I guess you want her to look anorexia looking like America paints the picture as healthy....Se looks good just enough weight not too much or too less....

N, the "media" here was a blogger on a "thinspiration" site that used to have starving tips of the day on it.

Yeppers!!

She is f'ing GORGOUS! i envy her curves and her flawless face and i would kill for some boobs like that. Also, the girl that posted the thread looks like her

What is wrong with the belly button on # 2????/

Pft, if this is what 'chubby' and 'overweight' is considered to be nowadays, sign me up!!!!!

Someone posted a link a few pages back. Apparently she has an odd belly button. They often photoshop one in for her.

jadedone

I think she is really cute..... not my body ideal, because I am not built like her at all (I am completely different in the torso).
I think she is great inspiration for busty women without wide hips.

This is my goal (sort of)

Fat_2_Fit_Mommy

She's not fat at all!!! She looks healthy to me just have curves in the right place!! At least she doesn't have bones sticking out.

Jenny111372

Yep she's gorgeous. Getting slated elsewhere.

I think my body idol is Lucy Mecklenburgh, I don't watch TOWIE, but her body is amazing and she has quite wide hips like I do, so it's not a totally unobtainable idea.

See if this works.

This would be my ideal and it's what I'm hoping to achieve but that being said..the model in the OP's post is just as beautiful! Everyone has their own ideas of what they feel is "perfect" or ideal and I feel, to each their own!

Kate Upton is definitely one of my husband's celebrity crushes. Just a few months ago he was complaining that he couldn't believe she was "wasting her time" with Mark Sanchez. Now I am no Sanchez fan, but I think she could do worse than a young, attractive millionaire starting NFL QB, but that's just me.

However, I have to say that while she may be my husband's ideal, she's not mine. I too find her to be a little soft for my tastes, and I prefer smaller breasted women. My all time favorite body type is Marisa Miller, however, being 5'3, that is not attainable to me. I also loved Heidi Montag's body before the ridiculous plastic surgeries and Jessica Alba is another favorite of mine.

jasminecandle

She's perfect!

Ingadinga

Kate Middleton has my dream body. (Although now that I am almost to 22% body fat I am digging my bod, haha)
