Bye-bye booty: Heroin chic is back (Thin models once again in fashion)
NY Post ^ | 11/02/2022 | Adriana Diaz

From Uggs to low-rise jeans, the fashion world is seeing a resurgence of questionable trends from two decades ago. Now, it seems as though the thin, heroin-chic body of the 1990s and early aughts is also making a comeback.

In early October, Bella Hadid closed out Paris fashion week at Coperni, her tiny form nearly naked on the runway as a dress was spray-painted onto her skin. Days later at the Miu Miu spring 2023 show in Milan, waifish girls paraded down the runway with bared midriffs, some of them modeling the “micro-mini” skirt for which the label has recently become known. Meanwhile, supermodel spawn such as Lila Moss (daughter of Kate) and Kaia Gerber (daughter of Cindy Crawford) are further evoking the ’90s with both their famous moms and their supremely svelte figures. Not everyone is happy about the trend.

“Please, I am so tired of this. I know we’re all pretending this isn’t about bringing back thin worship or whatever but I can’t keep doing this,” fashion writer Tyler McCall tweeted in exasperation.

The skinnies sashaying down the runway are a drastic shift from the “slim thick” and body positivity that had been in vogue in recent years with womanly ambassadors such as Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion putting their full bodies on display.

Even the famously bootylicious Kardashians seem to be turning away from curvy physiques. Kim and Khloé are looking increasingly skinny of late, leading fans to speculate that they’ve reversed their Brazilian butt lifts — though it has never been confirmed either had the procedure to begin with. At the Met Ball in May, Kim boasted her dangerous diet which had her shed 16 pounds in three weeks to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress.

“Is the era of the corpulent hambeast as a symbol of beauty coming to an end?”

Did it ever exist? Male humans are wired to be attracted to healthy looking females (unless they’re groomed).

What? I’ve never seen anyone “ravaged” by TB but it’s easy to imagine that it’s not a pretty sight...not a fitting model.

and Lila, who looks like a ten-year-old boy?

Lila Moss doesn't look like a 10-year old boy.

She's 20 in that photo and looks like about half of the typical 20-year old girls that I knew when I was 20, before we were all forced to eat a diet of processed foods that made everyone fat.

The homosexuals who dominate thr fashion industry prefer women who look like twelve year old boys. This is nothing new.

Looked like that in my youth, though not very tall, and people did make some demeaning comments (mostly aimed towards not having enough “fat” on my chest) though not as bad as overweight ones got.

I AM SICK OF THESE FAT ASSES FLAPPING THEIR BUTTHOLES IN THE AIR.

Kate Moss’s daughter is not ‘heroin chic’ she looks thin and healthy. ‘Heroin chic’ was anorexic and skeletal.

“Now, it seems as though the thin, heroin-chic body of the 1990s and early aughts is also making a comeback.”

For the last few years, my wife and I often stream old Brit mystery shows from the 1990s-early 2,000.

The super skinny women on those old Brit shows were probably
on some types of drugs.

My wife is 82 and weighs +/- 5 lbs from her wedding day, 125#’s. She was never fat nor skinny.

Some of the women in those Brit shows often look like refugees from a starvation camp.

As a lifelong RN, my wife wonders, how many of those women, many years younger than her, are still alive and functioning.

Gluttonous "body positive" Lizzo:

As in; "I'm positive there's more than one body in there."? I'm no lightweight, but dang.

I agree with Tom McDonald (a rapper who likes to call it as it is); "Now being fat is beautiful? Name a thing that you can't do? Jumping jacks, run a mile, live past 42"

Yep.

The entire fantasy about women rests entirely on THE MAN'S shoulders .... er .... brain . . . um . . . imagination . . . . . uhhhhh penis.

And no man wants a woman bigger'n him ON TOP.

The ogling of beautiful women is strictly a male thing and men are naturally wired to be the protector/gatherer and we so willingly do this because in our heads, we're the only ones that can DO these things.

I blame all the Kardashian types and followers that mutilated themselves for destroying any desire for a large(r) woman.


I never understood why a woman would want to willingly give up the adoration an American Man is taught and conditioned to treat a woman.

not having enough “fat” on my chest

LOL

If one goes to the Caribbean Islands, there are often topless women strolling the beach. Mostly it's women 50 plus with the "fat" on their chest having succumbed to gravity, and now hanging around their knees. After being thoroughly grossed out, I told one such woman to "put them away before someone got hurt". Needless to say that didn't go very well.

man I hope so.... nothing more beautiful in the world than a thin, athletic white woman.

There you go!
