Skinny or curvy, it's obvious that they've all had a fair bit of plastic surgery (and admitted to it). Besides, they continually present themselves as shallow, vapid, and self-obsessed. A good role model should someone with real accomplishment, ethics, or dignity, at any size. How the hell were they ever good role models?

They've slimmed down, but they have NOT gotten thin, they are still shapely ladies that look like they stayed in a healthy weight range after their weight loss. I don't see how they aren't loving their curves anymore by wanting to be fitter/trimmer, they kept their curves, just toned them up too. I don't think they needed to, but it is their bodies, and as long as they don't get too low of a weight for their frames, why shouldn't they want to be fit/trim along with being curvy? I read an article in one of the women's fitness mags that featured Kim K., and she actually seemed happier after starting an exercise regimen, and is trying to stay fit and strong, not necessarily to get thin and get rid of her curves.
