Victoria's Secret model Cameron Russell has opened up about the modeling industry once again, giving a frank interview about body image, and her perceived perfection.
The 25-year-old, who also models for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, admitted that her career successes have helped to promote a 'skinny equals beautiful' female image - which she said, she feels guilty about.

“I still have the body of a 20 year old. It’s in the freezer downstairs.”
I’m sure you’re kidding (I hope...LOL), but this actually happened here in Maine about a year ago.
An 80 year-old man died. When they were going through his possessions that he had placed in storage inside a storage locker, they found an unplugged old freezer. Inside the freezer was the body of his former girlfriend, who had gone missing back in 1980.
Negative. You have the other 99.99% of women to choose from.
I like a little more meat on the bones myself.
That being said it was still too much “secret” and not enough Victoria.
The last time I saw a run on sentence that long was the transcript of a Sarah Palin interview.
“Liberalism is a metal disorder.”
A few grains of lead can cure liberalism’s ‘metal’ disorders...
A woman will almost never marry a man of significantly lower income or status than her. Meanwhile, a man WILL marry a woman of lower income or social status, if she's very cute, has a high libido, or is especially fun to be with.
Women of high income/status who don't marry in their twenties often find themselves in a situation where the only men they would consider marrying, are more interested in marrying younger/hotter women.
They pick thin-but-healthy women because much (most?) of their target audience are men who buy VS items for their wives/girlfriends.
I'm with you. I prefer women to look like women, not young boys. Women are curvy, some curvier than others (and that's okay).

There is a mystery to serious beauty, and she ain't got it.
Still, she is very pretty, and some of her advice to young girls sounds reasonable. OTOH I bet that her "white privilege" schtick is going to annoy plenty of white girls who know too damn well that they aren't privileged just because they are white.
Re: the white privilege thing. I think it’s more a blond privilege thing.
I have noticed in recent years that a remarkably limited ideal of feminine beauty has emerged. Tall, blond, thin but nevertheless with big bazooms.
Look at the football cheerleader squads, Victoria Secret models, SI swimsuit models group pictures, etc. The images aimed at actual men as opposed to other women or fashionistas.
It’s gotten so limited that they are starting to look like clones of each other.
I have no problem with this look. I think they are beautiful. But there are many other styles of female beauty and you just don’t see those featured as much as 10 years ago.
Which I find kinda sad.
The phrase "cookie-cutter blonde" has been around for at least 30 years, but I suspect that much of the homogeneity you note these days is due to plastic surgery.
Which I find kinda sad.
Drew Barrymore used to have a distinctive look. Pretty, but with a kind of pudgy face.
She has apparently had very extensive surgery and is now a generic cookie cutter blonde. Doesn’t even look like herself much.
I think it’s sad, too.
On the positive side, I suspect her career has tanked now that she’s generic.
Close, but cigar (off by only nine years).
According to the Bangor Daily News,
Julian[Francis "Frank" Julian, the deceased 80-year-old] reported Wardwell missing July 11, 1983, telling Salem, N.H., police that he dropped the 29-year-old woman [Kitty Wardwell] off at the El Rancho Motel in Salem after a fight and then traveled back to Maine without her. Marla Collins, Kitty Wardwell’s sister, reported her missing to the Maine State Police on Nov. 23, 1983.
Perfection in crime.
Thank-you for the link.
I guess I was off by three years.....the girlfriend went missing in 1983, not 1980, as I had mentioned in my post.
I clicked on your link, and the article was dated October 23, 2011. The media here in Maine reported in the late Spring of 2012 the story about the discovery of Kitty’s body in the storage locker. I don’t know why they waited over six months to report the news, but delays, omissions, mistakes, falsehoods, or non-reporting of news worthy stories altogether seem to be the staple of the lame stream media these days.
