What unwritten law dictates that as soon as a 'plus size model's' curves secure her notoriety and fame, she must then lose them quicker than you can say, "Make-mine-a-triple-Quarter-Pounder-with-extra-cheese-and-don't-hold-on-the-fries?" It happened with Sophie Dahl and now it's happened to big-gal of the moment, Crystal Renn.

The pounds appeared to have started to migrate away from her when she walked the Chanel Cruise show in St Tropez last month, but now she's looking like she's literally shed herself a few times over and is virtually unrecognizable as the buxom beauty whose curves spilled out of those Mark Fast knits.

If Dahl's career path is anything to go by - losing her USP won't dent it one iota - hell, maybe she'll end up with her own ill-fated cookery show too?
