The obligatory bathing suit photo.
You've already seen the cover, but here it is again.
When asked about her "role model" status, Kate answers carefully and well:
"I never imagined that I would be in a position to be a role model. I just focused on being healthy and being the best that I could be. I'm happy to be seen as a good example. If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing."
I think this quote shows she knows how ridiculous it is for her, a slightly curvy model, to be made into some sort of role model of body acceptance, without coming off ungrateful for her career.
She also says it's "complicated for a model with boobs" to fit into sample sizes. Stupid sample sizes.
More on the topic of sample sizes:
"I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model. I don't really have a personal opinion on whether they should change the sizes of samples or not, but I do think it's a topic that should be looked at, and I do think there won't be many women buying those clothes, if, size-wise, they don't seem realistic."
Word.
The obligatory bathing suit photo.
Is that a hint of her signature blonde I see?
Here is the church, and here is the steeple. Open it up, and see I'm a sucker for some nice, dark eyebrows.
