Beauty is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. It is those who set themselves up as arbitors of beauty (the fashion industry--the majority of which are gay men) who have basically presented the waif as the 'look.'

Sorry if you took offense...I happen to think MM was very pretty (in a movie star, larger than life way).

I am not offended in the least. I just don't think the reason for the thin slide in models has anything to do with gay men. Sure the fashion industry has many gay men but it is run by women by a far margin. I promise you that if you take Joe Sixpack and show him a Victoria Secret catalog he will not put it down for a while. Now when you actually see those same women in real life they are extremely thin. Thin to the point that many men on here would be saying " I don't like that... she looks like a boy.... blah blah blah." They will say that all day long but I guarantee you Heidi Klume could have these same gentlemen crying inside of 10 days. I just take up for the skinny girls because I like them personally and I despise the immense amount of hatred directed at them by the heifers.
