America's ideal female body is a silhouette that has morphed from curvaceous to cigar-shaped in the past half-century Shame. I (far) prefer hourglasses to sticks.

Thin is in. Not in my neighborhood. Curves still rule. Big time.

What I think I'm reading:
Someone got a grant, and used the money to discover that standards of beauty are trending in the direction of "thin is good". AMAZING!!!
Also, this new research is finding that the Flapper image of the 1920's Jazz Age included women who were very thin, lacked curves, and were somewhat boyish. COULD IT BE TRUE???
I would like a grant, because I have a theory that professional football players are trending in the direction of "bigger is better".

This is something that will require some in depth study.

The Meredith professor noted that other research on the subject indicates that men are not usually the ones driving women to be thinner. Not heterosexual men, anyway. Whose ideal of sexual attractiveness is a woman who looks like a 12-year old boy, as do too many of these supposedly "attractive" models?

Not the first time this has happened - it goes back and forth. ClearCase_guy pointed out the rail-thin flappers (ah, the stories I got from my Grandmother). Anyone here remember Twiggy? Borderline 60's pedophilia there, but once she had a couple of kids she started looking a lot more normal...

I think the biggest reason hollywood, fashion, movies, magazines, pageants, etc. think the ideal woman is a 12 year old boy with fake boobs is because they have been taken over by a bunch of people that think the ideal woman *is* a 12 year old boy with fake boobs.

Thanks all for the encouragement!
Its nice to know that something you have always had, never when out of style with men who count, discriminating conservative men!

"Bamford, 30, said most of the women looked healthy when she competed for the Miss America crown. However, she remembers that one contestant was extremely underweight and that other competitors were concerned about her."I happen to know Lisa Bamford well. She's drop dead gorgeous and a total sweetheart; a VERY devout Christian young lady. Sorry she moved a few years ago, actually.
