My idea of a fine runway model.
A bill now working its way through the French Parliament would ban websites that promote eating disorders through “thinspiration” and starvation tips. I’m sure, since it’s a French bill, it was partly inspired by all the somewhat unappealing bony models who walk the Parisian catwalks, particularly that one sad Brazilian model who died from anorexia a few years back.
Skinny Guinea advocates an Italian lifestyle, and that means looking and feeling good without deprivation. Skinny Guinea embraces the classic Italian body type for women: curvy, with a little padding in all the right places. To achieve this look, it is essential that you eat really great Italian food and enjoy it immensely. You just don’t want to be a pig about it.
The photo above of Claudia Cardinale gives a good example of what I’m talking about. Okay, the waist is impossible, probably all girdled in and hence exaggeratedly small, so don’t worry about that too much. But the hips and thighs, especially the thighs, would give Karl Lagerfeld an aneurysm. This girl could not set foot on a Prada runway. So be it. We love her.
If you’re interested in looking more like Claudia Cardinale than Mary-Kate Olsen, you’ve come to the right place. Stay tuned for upcoming Skinny Guinea spring recipes to keep you looking and feeling properly and proportionally Italian.
