If you?re wondering that sound you?re hearing is, it?s thousands of ?real women? clapping their bacon cheeseburgers together after hearing Candice Swanepoel might be fired from Victoria?s Secret for looking too skinny at its 2011 Swimwear launch this week. E! News reports:
Like all Angels, Swanepoel, 22, is expected to be ?healthy and muscular,? according to her Victoria?s Secret contract, says our source.
?There is a really clear criteria for both Angels and the catalogue. Their career path is Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue then to Angel, it?s the highest paying contract there is, period. The image is about being voluptuous, it?s not fat, but it?s curvy,? says the insider.
?But if you start to look skinny and ?editorial print-like? like fashion mag models, like undernourished, it gives the image the company does not want. Their shopper is older, their target is the Macy?s shopper. These are young women who feel pressure these models, she [Swanepoel] could lose her contract if she gets too thin.
Candice, who last fall blamed her figure on ?traveling,? has responded to the concern over her weights in predictable fashion:
?I am healthy and happy,? Swanepoel tells PEOPLE. ?I?m heartened to know how much everyone cares about me, but in this case, everything is normal and good.?
While everyone?s getting all up in arms about this, I think we?re losing sight of an important fact here: Anorexic chicks don?t get their periods. Which is nothing. I had absolutely nothing to add to that. *walks away whistling*
