There's not a woman in the world who hasn't felt self-conscious about something! We as women all experience it but we never talk about it.

I remember trying to work out like crazy to get rid of all of my womanly features because I thought they made me fat.

Everyone thinks that because my dad was really well known for his body that I would have that pressure too, but the truth is that I don't look at those pictures of him being really muscley and say, "yep that's really what I want to look like!"

How can any person justify an aesthetic that reduces a woman or child to an emaciated skeleton? Is it art? Surely fashion's aesthetic should enhance and beautify the human form, not destroy it.

I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented.

Girls need to know that we are all unique and that we should all celebrate our unique beauty because it comes in all different shapes and sizes.

From a young age, my parents always told me and my sister how important it was as a girl to be more than just a pretty face and I think we've carried that message through out our lives.
