Nothing new - remember Twiggy from the 60s and every teenage girl wanted to weight 90 pounds?
I remember my Mom going nuts over Twiggy. Her feelings were some girls are naturally thin. That is fine and how their metabolism runs and how they were built. She thought it was insane for people to try to “force” themselves to be underweight. Gosh, I remember her saying, “why would anyone think a body is perfect with bones sticking out”. You are right... I think Twiggy was the beginning of the “bones should stick” out being equated to beauty. From what I am told by some men, bones aren’t sexy at all. Curves are beautiful and a healthy body. I guess I am somewhat sensitive to the issue since I have two girls and can see the pressure society places upon them.
