Youth, plastic surgery and sex go hand in hand. The one with the guy between her legs is pretty disturbing. I don’t think I can handle soft porn before 9am! I love how your post break down the imagery.

I still AM disappointed, though. I like it, but it isn’t wowing me, which is what I had expected. I thought about it a lot last night (because I am a nerd like that). I do think it is evocative. It’s much more of a caricature of plastic surgery and its hyper-sexualized. I like those elements. I just don’t think it’s that STRONG of an editorial. I think Meisel’s “Makeover Madness” was much stronger… much more relevant. I think that editorial has the things that this one is missing.

That being said, I don’t dislike this one – I just wish it was “more”.

2005 – Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia. A MUCH stronger editorial, in my opinion.

YES! That is one of the first things I noticed too... she is getting smaller and smaller! She looks even smaller here than in the recent Harper's Bazaar shoot (http://fashiongonerogue.com/crystal-renn-paola-kudacki-harpers-bazaar-december-2010/), and, as Casee Marie pointed out to me, her Elle Canada shoot (http://fashiongonerogue.com/crystal-renn-elle-canada-december-2010-leda-st-jacques/). I think the "plus" is just about gone.@Heather and @Dusk - the shoot was for Vogue Italia by Steven Meisel in 2005. I just posted about that as well :) P.S. Are you still having problems commenting on my site?

Yes, but in a good or bad way? 🙂

I wish I “loved” it. I like it – but I wish there was more to it. I think my expectations were too high!

Yes, there is a soft porn thing going on in the shoot, isn’t there? I was surprised at how sexualized it was, but i can understand why.

Crystal Renn??? Crystal vavaVOOM Renn???? Crystal the most famous ‘plus-size’ model in the world Renn??? Where is the Plus??? Minused???

Don’t know how I feel about it. Bores me a little. Disturbs me, makes me snigger…this is all so hypocritical…

@ Heather… yes, Vogue Italia did a shoot like this with Linda Evangelista 2004? 2005?
