Karolina Kurkova is currently ranked by Forbes as the eighth paid female model in the world, her portfolio including contracts with the biggest fashion houses in the world, as well as a place as one of Victoria’s Secret’s world-renowned Angels. Regardless of that, it seems that she too is prone to one of women’s most bitter enemies: the extra pounds. But, as it turns out, hers is a health issue and not a matter of overindulgence.
The Brazilian media has been targeting the Angel for being too fat since last summer, despite the fact that, until not long, it was the same media that was accusing the fashion industry of promoting an image that was anything but healthy for young girls. During the Sao Paolo Fashion Week, Karolina was photographed by model photographer with what resembled traces of cellulite on her legs, as well as with “love handles.”
Talk of the first Victoria’s Secret “fat model” gained even more momentum during the VC November presentation, when, of course, Karolina appeared just as plump as in Sao Paolo. Several sources in the media claim that even her appearance there was in peril because of her weight, as the organizers decided to introduce her only in the last minute, as a bid to get the media off their back with the eating disorders and size 0 talk. This would also explain why Karolina’s name was not included in any of the promo materials that aired before the show.
However, Fox News is now reporting that Karolina’s weight problems might actually be not her own doing, as she could be suffering of a thyroid condition known as hypothyroidism and that affects the metabolism. It could be this condition that has prevented the bikini model from losing weight, despite a strict diet, from which she has eliminated all carbs for more than a year, and an even stricter workout regime that fails to return the desired results.
“She was exhausted and didn’t get down to where she wanted to be.” One source told Fox about Karolina’s failed attempts at losing the weight. If that be the case, and hers is a thyroid issue, then she comes to join other 27 million Americans diagnosed with the same condition.

Swimsuit Basics
A swimsuit, also known as a swimming costume or bathing suit, is used to wear when one goes swimming. A swimsuit can be skin tight, or can have a loose fit, according to your preferences. Whether you want to hide as much as you can, or reveal as much as possible, there is a swimsuit for every kind of taste.
A swimsuit is lined with a fabric so that it is not transparent when it becomes wet. A swimsuit is made so as to cover genitals and women's breasts. A woman's swimsuit can be a one piece, or a bikini model or even a thong. A man's swimsuit can take the form of shorts, thongs, jammers, briefs, jammers, bikini, g string or broadshorts.
A monokini is a type of swimsuit which leaves a woman's breasts uncovered, although in the US there are strict laws against monokinis. A special kind of swimsuit is worn by those who participate in competitive swimming, which reduces skin drag. This swimsuit can resemble a unitard. A particular kind of swimsuit called diveskin is worn for special kinds of swimming and also for diving.
A diveskin swimsuit is made of spandex and does not provide protection from heat, but does help to protect the swimmer against cuts and abrasions. A swimsuit can also be designed for competitive swimming in the form of a jammer or racer back, all designed to improve speed while swimming. People not comfortable with wearing a swimsuit use t- shirts, underpants or trousers.
A swimsuit can also be used in beauty contests to show off the contestants' bodies. Some sports magazines feature sports personalities and models wearing a swimsuit.
A one piece swimsuit for female model women can also take the form of a leotard or tank suit. A tank suit style swimsuit inspired the popular tank top, which many women wear today. A monokini is simply a bikini swimsuit, but without its upper half.
Monokinis are common in Europe and South America, but only acceptable for very young girls in the US. Otherwise, monokinis are acceptable in the US in areas which have very high European tourist counts every year. Sometimes, a sling bikini type swimsuit is also known as a monokini. A thong swimsuit for women is a one piece swimsuit with the buttocks exposed.
