Last month, Skinny Gossip, a pro-skinny, verging on pro-ana, website, wrote a post that Talent Management bloggers found utterly disturbing.

Cruelly outlining all the ways in which swimwear model turned fashion model Kate Upton is fat, the post has disgusted everyone here at the modelling agency, not to mention the rest of the industry.

According to the site, the stunningly curvy model, who by no means is overweight, looks like a “squishy brick”. Next to some shots of Upton modelling a bikini on the catwalk, the hateful post reads: “It’s the lovely Kate Upton, confidently lumbering up a runway like there’s a buffet at the end of it.

“Has fashion become this? Well – we know it hasn’t, so let’s not pretend this is fashion. She looks thick, vulgar, almost pornographic – and she is a solid 30 lbs too heavy for this outfit.”

The woman behind the site claims to be an ex-editorial and print model who prides herself in keeping very thin – she’s 5’7″ and tries and stay at around 100 lbs. When we inputted these figures into the NHS’ BMI healthy weight calculator, she comes out at a dangerously low 15.67, suggesting she is “underweight, which can affect health”, according to the NHS.

Well, we for one love the fact that Upton is a million miles away from this super skinny look. Not only does the voluptuous teen model make an uplifting change to fashion’s skinny model ideal, but all-American girl is sending out a great message to young girls by being a healthy weight that’s neither plus-size or super slim.

Because of this, it’s no wonder Upton has caught the eye of many industry insiders – Talent Management included.

Jezebel has said she is “basically the epitome of curvy, blonde beauty,” and that she “ticks every box”. While BuzzFeed said: “[H]aters can go on hating, but any model that doesn’t fit into the runways’ preferred insanely skinny – yet muscley! – mould is more than alright by me.”

Let’s hope Upton continues to proper in the modelling industry and that sites like Skinny Gossip, which send out a potentially dangerous message to influential readers, are banned for good.
