'Skinny' Blogger Calls Kate Upton 'Piggie' and 'Cow'

Model Kate Upton’s curvy figure came under attack recently when a “Skinny Gurl” slammed the runway favorite, calling her a “piggie” and “cow” in a nasty blog post.

The anonymous blogger from “Skinny Gossip,” wrote, “Did you know that humans are 80% genetically identical to cows? Well, allow me to prove it to you…” followed by an unflattering picture of Upton’s backside.
 
The post went on to blast Upton, saying, she was “confidently lumbering up the runway like there’s a buffet at the end of it.”
 
The writer added, “Huge thighs, NO waist, big fat floppy boobs, terrible body definition -- she looks like a squishy brick. Is this what American women are ‘striving’ for now? The lazy, lardy look?”
 
The unknown poster, self-described as a 100-pound, 5’7” former model, got some serious heat for the post, including angry emails, death and rape threats.
 
Lesley Jane Seymour, Editor-in-Chief of MORE magazine analyzed the post for ABC News, saying, “Running this site [Skinny Gossip] where you actually praise women for staying emaciated and skinny, and then to go out there and then track someone who has a normal body, I mean, she’s [the blogger] got issues,”
 
Former model and author Carol Alt added, “She’s laughing all the way to the bank. I would just say keep your end up and keep moving forward.”
 
Since the June 10 post, “Skinny Gurl” has made plans to add resources about depression, eating disorders and self-injury.
 
The anonymous blogger also wrote, “There’s nothing wrong with saying skinny is beautiful, just like there’s nothing wrong with saying curvy is beautiful, or red hair is beautiful, or anything else someone happens to find appealing. It’s an opinion, and we’re all entitled to them.”

What I cannot figure out is why this person is not focused on the self absorbed queen of fat, Kim Kardashion. Her butt and thighs are bigger than most male body builders. She is hideious and yet she continues to photograph herself and put herself on display as a goodess of fitness.

There are many different body types in the world. There is beauty and ugly in everyone. We all have a good side and a bad side. Hopefully most of us prefer to show our good side and not be mean because someone is different from us. There seems to be more and more mean people out there today than there use to be. Hopefully soon there will be a change for the good. My mom was a big girl and she was the most thoughtful and wonderful person that I have ever known. And she taught us to try and have respect for others even if they were different from us. And I know she did a good job with me and my brother and sisters. And believe it or not,it is easier to be nice than it is to be mean. And if you don't believe me, then try it for a while. I think you will be surprised with how you feel being nice instead of mean. For me being mean takes too much effort. Being nice takes so little effort. And I don't know about anyone else out there, but I like to take the road that is a bit easier on the soul.

Kate is beautiful and curvy but the bathing suit is ugly, horrendous. Whoever suggested that she wear that god-awful suit should be kicked out of the business.

she has the perfect body!!!!!! I am sick of seeing such skinny models who can't or won't eat. The average woman in the world is size 4, 6, 8, 10. Depending on height. We are putting too much pressure on being skinny!!! Many many young teens are starving themselves and dying because they think a size 0 is the normal. Other than models, who wear a size 0 or 1 at 6' tall is absolutely crazy. I am sick of this and scared for my grand daughters who worry about eating because they think they will get fat. They are both a size 0.!!!!!! If they go to a size 1 they will panick and think they are fat. Enough is enough!!!!!!!

Frankly, Kate Upton seems like she's trying for a career in Porn movies, she's beautiful, she has a nice body, but she's not that beautiful and her body isn't the hottest. Does she ever keep her clothes on???it seems like if her clothes are more than 6 inches of material she isn't comfortable in them. Clearly she isn't a role model, she's NO Kathy Ireland, Cindy Crawford, Christy Brinkley or any other top model. Too much skin, too little talent and far to much confidence sums up Kate Upton.
