Yes that is true, but that's why I said that I like toned and healthy looking bodies no matter what size bone frame they have or body shape (hour glass or long and lean or husky), or height. I am not thinking of what is pushed at us by the fashion industry.

Hmmmm . . . seems to me that Marilyn, Jane M, and Jane R all had that Hour-glass figure. So again, we have an example of society choosing one body type over another as the quintessential form of beauty.
Why can't we have a Marilyn, a twiggy and a Sandra Bullock (an "everygirl" in my opinion) and count them all as beautiful because they reflect the "best" of their "body type?" |
