"To put this in perspective the most beautiful woman to ever grace the silver screen (Sophia Loren) would be considered fat and ugly by today standards if compared to her at the absolute height of her beauty when she was 35. Hell at 68 she looks better than these skinny emaciated things that pass for beauty today."

It's definitely a problem, I've seen comments in other forums where people (mostly guys) have called Alicia Silverstone a "BBW".

We've lost our way, when it comes to the definition of "beautiful" and "hot". Women should have HIPS, not be built like a 13 year old boy (with d-cup implants).

True, she should have done her hair differently.

I'll see that size 12 and raise........

When I look at some of the old time stars, not Sophia Loren mind you, they do look a little hefty. Loren had long legs, nice hips and a large chest. This came together to make her look a but heavy, but I don't think she was. She was quite attractive and had two of the most beautiful eyes.

She did age with grace. I saw her a few years back and she was still a very attractive woman.

Welllllllllllllllll, that's not really what i meant, but the other pics of that girl show she is very nicely proportioned.

I'm not sure what that thyroid removal caused for you. Did it allow you to over-eat without worry?

[Fiddlstix]

LOL. All in good fun, my FRiend.

BTW, you have a great FR profile page too.

[Toby06]

LOL, what's the code for that smiley?

[Fiddlstix]

It's done with the wingdings font. Here it is.

<font face = "wingdings" size = 4>J</font>

Just copy/paste that snip of code to do it. J

Spain's main fashion show is to turn away models if they are too thin. . . .

I didn't expect the bloody Spanish thin decision!

Models to be banned for being too thin

Banned on the Run . . . way.

It has been my understanding that fashion designers dress their models as they would like their boyfriends to dress.

The homosexual designers seem to prefer that their models look like pretty boys. There is no other way to describe most of the girls and women who walk the runways of the major fashion houses.

I remember reading that Steve Tyler's daughter, and Liv's younger sister was a "Plus Size" model. I was thinking she must be like a size 16 or 18. Turns out, she's a size 12!! Drives me nuts when people give young girls the idea that when they are a normal size, that they are fat! Our daughter had two girls in her 7th grade class who were battling anorexia because they thought, at 5'4", and 95 pounds, that they were fat.
