@fatroll BS Alert: Models claiming to eat Burgers during shoots
The Associated Press is reporting that the swimsuit bible (better known as the yearly Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition) is coming out tomorrow.
Given our “we’re all in a swimsuit” Round 3 challenge, I figured they might have some helpful tips for posing, choosing the appropriate suit, etc.
Instead I read this BS:
Models say they ramp up their workouts, but they don’t necessarily “diet.”
“Sports Illustrated doesn’t want us skinny,” says model Julie Henderson, who is making her fourth appearance in the magazine. “They want us to portray a woman’s body.”
When Damaris Lewis showed up in Palm Springs, Calif., for her shoot, the first stop she made was an In-N-Out Burger fast-food joint.
Smith says eating on the set is encouraged, noting that they’re often in remote locations with not much else to do but work, visit the hotel spa — and enjoy a good meal.
As I choked on my kale and salmon reading this, I wondered why these women felt the need to flat out lie? I mean, just be honest to those of us who struggle to eat 1,300 cloaries or less when we’re dieting and look NOTHING like that.
All I can say is this — those women aren’t portraying a real woman’s body. They’re portraying childhood fantasies — for both men and women. (i.e. 14-year-old pimply boys who think they’re going to get with that and 14-year-old girls who think if they starve themselves enough and pull a DJ Tanner, they’ll end up like that).
So — is the SI swimsuit model statement Fact or @fatroll Fiction?
Weak sauce.
