    blah blah blah-these threads make ME sick!
    didn't your mother ever tell you "if you have nothing nice to say-then don't say anything at all"???
    thin bashing-fat bashing-it all adds up to the same thing-Rude Hurtful and Pointless.

    I just think people are taking the picture the wrong way entirely. The point is not that skinny people are ugly. it says since when are they MORE attractive, not attractive in any way. I take from it that it means skinny or big no one is really more attractive than anyone else. We each have something different we like and want to look like and a lot of us have that one person we see as perfect and special. I love my husband and I am not even attracted to other people, so big or small, it never makes a difference to me as long as it is my husband. It just goes to show that any size is beautiful and it is about the person inside or who we are meant to be..or be will with in the case I mentioned. Everyone has a unique body shape and frame to work with and make fit their own style. xoxo

    P.S. I prefer to be a little in between these two rows. I would prefer the bottom if I had to pick, but I am naturally curvy and comfortable with that part of me so I would like to keep it of course. I also am not fond of Kiera's thin frame, but either is she and then again some people with the same frame are okay with it. I say if they are happy then it is no one else's business how they look! Even if they are unhappy it is no one's business but their own to make a change in their life.
  • This is such a sticky topic. Yes there are girls/woman who are naturally very thin but I think this post was truly to get upset at the clothing industry. Back in the day what was the smallest size? Size 3 maybe? When did 00 be a size for young girls to strive for. Heck I want to be a size 5 does that make me fat by industry standards?

    To all the ladies out there who are naturally thin, god bless you. All you have to do is work out for health not weight loss.

    As a former size 5 and now a size 18, I understand both sides.

    A size 12 back then is a size 6 now. Elizabeth Taylor would be a 00-0 size in today's sizing charts.

    True, I forgot about Audrey. She's unbeliavably gorgeous, AND rail thin.

    Who is saying that a size 00 is something girls have to strive for,some of the women being called the hottest women out there today are nowhere near size 00

    I agree, Audrey Hepburn is one of the most beautiful women to grace this planet. Just like today, old hollywood wasn't just skinny or big it was a mixture. People just like to have these polar opposite/sides to attach to.

    See how similar they are. You people are looking at the pictures but they are all the same size. Not much has changed!!!! Besides perception. In fact Brigitte Bardot puts to shame in the skinny department a lot of the a-listers today in waist size..

    I find it interesting that all the sexy women threads made by women are about "curvier" , larger women looking better then thin or fit women.....

    ...yet all the sexy guy threads created by women are topless, ripped celebs.

    Just have to say quickly;

    The bottom four are known sex symbols. Today's equivalent is not the top four. The top four pictures are unflattering paparazzi shots - seriously I can't believe this needs pointing out. As someone else said - their measurements are pretty much the same anyway.


    I'm sick of these sorts of posts - we shouldn't be criticizing someone's weight. I don't understand how people can have a cry about people calling them overweight, or saying they're unhealthy - then jump straight onto the forums and criticize people for being too skinny and how they are unhealthy and not sexy.

    Grow up people. It's pathetic.

    Skinny and healthy is fine, but skinny and eating disorder and/or self hate isn't right. It seems the majority of us women are Not naturally skinny, it's not about making the naturally skinny women feel bad, it's about providing a more accurate representation of the average female so that those of us who are not naturally skinny don't go through life feeling we have failed to achieve our optimum size.

    When the first thing a particular model is told on landing a new job is 'lose some weight', without even laying eyes on her to see what weight she is currently at, that's Not sexy (this is something I read on a pro ana site, no I'm not pro ana, but I did get curious to see what it's all about). It does give you an idea of what the fashion industry expects of it's participants though right? This is why we say curvy is healthy is sexy. (Handful of naturally slim girls excepted of course).

    So how is the bottom row any healthier or more curvy when the messure ments are almost all the same?
  • I can't believe this post is still going. It's sad to see adult women shaming any sort of body.

    It is NEVER ok to negatively comment on someones body. You never know the damage you are doing.
