ShareCongratula­tions on Natalie Portman’s win for Best Actress! As for her dress, it would have been much, much more stunning without the big rose. Natalie is 5’3" or 5’4" and slim. Big embellishm­ents just don’t work on smaller women like her!Read the Article at HuffingtonPost

Allie Crandell Sidelined By Revolve Clothing Over Weight Concerns (PHOTOS)

ShareThis looks like something that was poorly edited. If you’re going to Photoshop, please do it properly! In any case, I’m really sick and tired of this thin hate.

Kate Moss Contemplates Opening A Modeling Academy
