    I so completely agree! Liz, I thought, never looked more fabulous than she did in Cleopatra. Her figure was fantastic-- she was no reedy little thing. Marilyn was about a size 12, which is considered beyond plus sized in today's modeling industry! The most important thing to me, it seems, is to look healthy. None of these super-thin modern starlets look happy or healthy at all!

    Anyway, I didn't say the bottom row are healthy,

    Wish I knew how to make things bold/underlined

    Remember a size 12 then was not a US size 12 now. More like an 8.

    Really when are any of those girls in the top row shoved in our faces. You know who I hear about every single day, all the fuller figured actress and singers.

    Every day when I go to the servo to buy ice coffee ah ha (front page magazine covers duh)

    So how is the bottom row any healthier or more curvy when the messure ments are almost all the same?

    I think it's the sight of ribs that makes me feel they've gone too far, or can you see ribs with a healthy BMI (I'm not that trim yet so I couldn't say from looking at myself).

    Yes you could still see ribs on a person at a healthy BMI. Note that the women in the bottom (well 3 of them) are wearing one piece bathing suits - how do you know they don't have ribs showing too?

    I can see my ribs, and my BMI is 20.5.

    Not that it's super relevant, but not one rib is visible in the photo from either row [and the bottom row women have their torsos covered so you wouldn't know if they had visible ribs anyhow]. The only real difference I see is that the bottom women have smaller, more defined waists and larger breasts.

    Handy to know (guess I'll be seeing mine soon yay I think).

    Personally, I don't really find her appealing, but I'm a hetero girl so my opinion doesn't really count that much....I guess I'm saying, that is not a look I'm aspiring to.

    Of the tabloids saying how unhealthy the look because i read all the magazines at the checkout and the only ones that have women they are holding up as beautifull it is either the fuller figured or the average sized girls. when was the last time Heidie Kirstin Or Nicole Ritche were promoted by magazines to be women we should look up too :laugh:

    Maybe ribs was the wrong word, despite the abs, they just don't look healthy to me. Personal opinion only.

    I should take some time to read the headlines perhaps?!
