When did the anorexic look become so popular?
I dunno. Ask the AC Fan Club.
I remember watching "Heat" with an ex-gf (who was definitely hourglass and not pencil thin). There was an actress who played Al Pacino's love interest--she looked like a man! No hips, no shape. I thought she was hideous, but the gf said that was the 'trend' at the time (she could date a movie by the makeup women were wearing, so I'd have to defer to her expertise).
Ick. Pencil-thin is not attractive but then amorphous jelly bellies aren't either.

Twiggy and the really skinny woman from My Fair Lady/Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I saw something either about models or fashion years ago and this is what they said. In the 40's and 50's models had figures like average women. Fashion designers said that during fashion shows people were paying too much attention to the models and not the clothes. So, they put the clothes on models with no figures at all figuring people would just watch the clothes since the models didn't have attractive figures. I don't know how true it is.
