This is Lara Stone. Lara Stone who is apparently to be celebrated because she is shaped like A REAL WOMAN. And she has curves! And she got turned down from jobs for being FAT. We should all unite around her! 
Frankly, in the above image she still looks like she needs some food. I came across a more face-on image whilst flicking through Tatler a moment ago and felt compelled to write something.
Most people know that airbrushing takes place in most fashion magazines, we all know deep-down that no woman's skin glows quite so much as the women in foundation adverts and that Madonna probably does actually have wrinkles.
However, when a person is praised specifically because she is curvy and does not have the figure of models like Kate Moss it seems incredible that they can be airbrushed to look exactly the same weight as these models, just with huge breasts. And that does not equal curvaceous and normal. It makes her look like she'll over if she walks.
I'm going all out and saying that she looks more curvy in her Louis Vuitton ad campaigns than on the front of Love. Highly ironic since that magazine recently featured a nude Beth Ditto in all her glory..
PS-I do think Lara Stone is quite attractive despite her dubious taste in men and don't want anyone to see this post as spiteful, I just think fashion magazines really really need to consider their audiences properly
