Thanks, girlfriend!Īmazingly, Skinny's incredibly toxic commentary isn't that far off from what Victoria's Secret's casting guru Sophia Neophitou declared to the New York Times earlier this year, when she said Upton was "too obvious" for the brand. She doesn't post too much on her blog, but when she does, it's usually to complain that plus-size models make her "both angry and sick to my stomach" and lament that Lindsay Lohan "looks downright fat," even if she does cop to the distinction between "FAT by normal standards, of course – but fat by our standards." Skinny recently decided that Kate Upton, the woman whose body has been deemed sufficiently ridonk to grace the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, is "thick, vulgar, almost pornographic." She calls her a "piggie" with "huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs," and, for the pièce de résistance, decides that "She looks like she would work in the back of a motorcycle shop in Nashville and give (bad) blow jobs for $25." She does, however, give her props for her "bravery" in letting herself go to seed like that.
It is instead the brainchild of a woman in her early 20s who says she "prefers the skinny aesthetic" and describes herself as weighing in at 5-foot-7 and 100 pounds, which puts her about 30 pounds underweight. The part of the barrel where the cruelty is so deeply mingled with pathology that it's simultaneously infuriating and incredibly sad.Īs the name implies, Skinny Gossip is not exactly a bastion of feel-good empowerment for the ladies. But there's still plenty about the snarking on Kate Upton that went down recently on Skinny Gossip that scrapes a whole new level of the barrel. Nobody expects anonymous trolls on the Internet to be anything but terrible.
