Kate Upton is Too Fat
Tony Manfred over at Business Insider alerted us to a number of articles in which Kate Upton is described as being too fat:
Business Insider, 14 Feb 2012, Did The New York Times Just Call Kate Upton Fat?
Guy Trebay of the [sic] The New York Times profiled SI cover model Kate Upton today. And he used some interesting language when trying to describe how she's different from traditional fashion models.
Here's the NYT description of her:
Wholesomely proportioned at 5 feet 11 inches with a 36-25-34 figure, Ms. Upton was a long way from the coolly robotic Eastern European beauty ideal that has dominated the catwalks for many seasons.We don't speak New York Times, but we're pretty sure "wholesomely proportioned" is a fancy way of saying she's fat, right?
When I was a young man (in the 1960s), I recall seeing calendars with America's most famous pin-up girl Betty Grable. Her measurements way back then? A curvy but classic 36-24-35. Kate is one inch "fatter" but certainly not "wholesomely proportioned."
Well, some people may think Kate Upton is too fat; I think she's just right.
