Wow, that's hot.

I feel that the second cover uses her more as a work of art and a muse, but I am also thin and optimistic, and probably have no real idea about the situation because I have no opinion on weight other than "Be as healthy as you can." I loved this interview, however, and it presented some wonderful ideas. I'm actually shocked to learn- which I didn't until now- that Sophie Dahl (the face of curvature!) lost so much weight. I want to call these women sell-outs.

Very wonderful say on what media forces women into, and the ones' who give in. Sad. And the women on mag. are beautiful. Many of the "others" all look the same.
