Kate Upton: Fat, Skinny, So What?

Ask people to define what a model is and they'd tell you this: Skinny with long legs!

However, with Kate Upton's recent rise to fame, this definition will probably confuse many. And so did a website called Skinny Gossip, who did not just express its 'confusion' over the 20-year-old swimsuit model, but her jealousy frustration, calling her: “[A] little piggie with huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition.”

The anonymous author later continued her rants with: “”Is this what American women are ‘striving’ for now?” the site’s anonymous blogger Skinny Gurl goes on to ask. “The lazy, lardy look?… [Kate's popularity] makes me wonder how much further our plus-sized fixation is going to go.

Now isn't that just mean?

Seriously, the modelling world, in fact, the whole of media these days flaunt super skinny women to define beauty - like outright telling you to stop eating to be beautiful. Now here's this lady telling us to embrace our 'natural' curves and not starve ourselves, and you condemn that?

Really! I don't think that's lazy. That's simply being proud and happy of your body. What's lazy? Those model-wanna-be's who desperately go on liposuction or take a rib off their hip to get that perfect little waist. I think it’s high-time people change their perspective on what’s sexy and what’s model-y. It is very sad and frustrating to raise our kids thinking they have to be SKINNY to be pretty!

Skinny or fat, this Kate Upton gives more inspiration to plus-sized girls like her. So whether or not she pass model standards – if there is – SO WHAT?!

Tight Jeans lower sperm count?

They are sexy and fashionable because they emphasize curves and give the illusion of length. They are very easy to match with anything too – from tops to shoes! With their flexibility, fashionistas and not-so-fashionistas have been raving about tight jeans. However, recent studies have reported this pair has its setback too as it threatens to cause infertility, particularly to men.

Skinny jeans was the result of the evolution of your rocker jeans and hispter jeans. Getting skinnier and skinnier by the year, this pair of jeans have come to the world's attention not only because more and more celebrities have donned it (like Russell Brand shown here), but because several researchers claim it lowers the sperm count “due to everything from overheating of the testicles to just plan testicle trauma”.

Should you panic?

If you are an avid fan of the skinny jeans, medical professionals assuages this isn't entirely true, and we quote:

“Many lifestyle and biological factors can temporarily affect sperm production, including intense cycling, extreme heat exposure, ill-fitting underwear, steroid use, and vericocele. However male fertility is not just a matter of sperm count; other factors like motility and morphology of sperm also play a role in this important function. In order to eliminate all of these male fertility obstacles, a healthy, balanced, low-stress lifestyle is essential.”

Now there you go! But just in case you want to be sure, you can alternate wearing your skinny jeans with a pair of comfortable pants. Try square pants! This pair of uber comfortable pants is perfect for those who are on the go. With the right top and the right footwear, you’ll pull off a laidback sexy look even more classy than skinny jeans.
