“Twenty years ago the average fashion model weighed 8 percent less than the average woman. Today she weighs 23 percent less”
More like women have gotten fatter, not that models have gotten skinnier. We used to joke about “Muffin Tops” in the 90’s but now women, and men, are simply obese.
a fat woman magazine publishes an article about fat women models are better.....
You are correct. I also don’t believe for one moment that Cindy Crawford, or any of the other models listed was ever a size 14.
That is true, yes. However, the models ARE getting skinnier as well. It is moving in opposite directions.
It seems that as America gets fatter, the ideals that Hollywood feeds us as “beautiful” get thinner, and further from attainability.

I think if you go back to the 1950s and 1940s, you will find that the models and movie stars actually weighed MORE than the average single woman on the street. People used to be very skinny by today’s standards.
