Thankfully, someone has talked some sense into Lara Stone’s fine mind. While Stone continues to call herself “the fat girl”, she no longer swears to go on a diet and end it all — her womanly US size 4 curves, I mean.

At 5’10” and size 4, Stone’s hardly an Amazonian goddess, but in today’s fashion world, she’s statuesque.

Lara is sensitive on this subject, so for heavens sake, don’t call her b—.

This gorgeous, crazy woman delivers Christmas joy in December’s British Vogue, while admitting in a candid interview that not only does she eat pizza but she’s an alcoholic.

“I am a complete alcoholic. It used to be so easy to say to someone, ‘Get me a bottle of vodka,’ and they’d run and get it. Going to rehab was the best decision I ever made. The last six months have been the best of my life.” via Fashionologie for more of her interview

A week after she left rehab, she was back in the game, attending the Costume Institute Gala in early May with Alexander Wang. “I sat there all night in complete shock. I didn’t say a word.”

Madonna is no more. Daniel Lalonde, the label’s president and CEO said: “We have a tendency to always change the person responsible, the ambassador for each campaign. So it’s a very natural, organic thing for us.” via NY Magazine

The Dutch model’s lips have been called x-rated. Here we see them very pouty and determined — a moment of revenge, perhaps? — in Paolo Roversi’s shoot for Vogue Italia.

Lara Stone reeks of Smart Sensuality style, which is why we’re so happy to hear that pilates is on deck but wasting away to a nonsexual woman is not.
