I'm not saying that Fraulein meant that in her post, but I'm pointing out that some of us prefer a variety of looks, beauties unavailable to us in the "good ol' days."

As I said above, I do think the focus on rail-thin frames has gotten out of control, but I like the variety of attractive women available today.

It's too easy to get nostalgiac about the past and talk about how "classy" the old actors/actresses were(which is QUITE debatable, honestly.) I like the fact that Kelly Hu or Jessica Alba can be leading actresses. Otherwise it'd be an endless stream of N. European faces with the occasional Sophia Loren as a break in that pattern.

To deny that the offerings of years past were more limited is to deny reality.

I'm an avid collector of early 20th century American photographs. I love design and I collect lots of other things as well (Panton, Aarnio, Colombo). Anyway, my area of interest is primarily the 1940s-1960s. I have a MASSIVE vintage clothing and accessory collection as well. (I consider myself an expert on vintage furniture and clothes.). So that era is my passion and expertise, and perhaps also affects my view on the matter. But I certainly stand by what I said. I suppose it's just a matter of my own personal style and taste.
