Jennifer Hawkins 'Au Naturel" for Marie Claire Au
/What’s that song “It’s raining men.”
Well, it’s raining naked women everywhere, except for Tiger Woods on the cover of Vanity Fair”. I’m on my way to bed and I see an un-airbrushed Miss Universe 2004 and model Jennifer Hawkins, on the cover of February’s Australian Marie Claire.
Some are slamming the magazine, claiming that Jennifer Hawkins isn’t a ‘real woman’ either. So what is a ‘real woman’?
I think this conversation is becoming complex. Are we saying that a woman with an average, medically-healthy, doctor recommended BMI of 20-25 (in this case probably 20-21) should no longer model on magazine covers because she’s not a ‘real woman’?
Promoting a medically-approved BMI is a different editorial position than printing airbrushed BMI 17 models as the only standard of beauty month after month.
The photos that follow of ‘curvy’ models in the Jan. V Magazine and a gorgeous spread of Crystal Renn in Brigitte, show some magazines making an effort this month.
I’ll read up on the anti sentiments about Jennifer Hawkins tomorrow. For tonight I do have a health article that didn’t get posted yet. Obesity now poses as great a threat to quality of life as smoking, new research from Science Daily.
