Well, it’s now in the hands of gay guys who don’t like women. In the old days, it was in the hands of gay guys who liked women.
But I will say that models have always been exceptionally, preternaturally tall and angular and bone-thin. I’m always shocked when I come across one on the subway. Their legs, usually encased in skin-tight jeans, look like a giant pair of scissors. Only my opinion, of course.
I know they’ll photograph beautifully but they just don’t look that attractive in real life!
Yes, before that, the girls were tall and thin, but they weren't "HEROIN CHIC THIN" ! Look at old fashion mags from the '50s and '60s...the girls/women weren't THAT thin and they were pretty/"handsome". Jean Shrimpton was gorgeous, Dorian Leigh and her sister Suzy Parker were beautiful and NOT stick thin.
And now they have effeminat, anorexic young MEN modeling women's clothes. YUCK !
