Marilyn Monroes measurements from her dress maker..

36-23-37

and Keira Knightley's measurements...

32-22-34

Wow, so the biggest difference is bust size... exactly. So all women that are skinny should be breast implants is what this topic is really saying...

I completely agree with you, why would anyone purposely want to look like a refugee?

this is as bad as saying "omg look at chick what a beached whale"

Exactly. Commenting on either is offensive.

evidently it is ok to bash thin girls and not fat ones! So completely tired of the double standard!

I freaking hate this kind of hypocrisy

That crazy part from looking up the peoples measurements is the stomach area is the SAME on almost every one of them. The bottom picture the girls have bigger busts is the biggest difference.. Talk about giving flat chested girls complexes. Shows the true bully nature of women. Girls are catty. Men are pigs. That hasn't ever changed in society.

So to call ones skeletons but not the others is a direct response to chest and butt size and not the other areas that seem to be measuring the same.

I can't find the magazine now, but I have a magazine from the 1940s that had photos and measurements of all the hot actresses of the time. Betty Grable, Hedy Lamar, Olivia de Havilland, Carol Lombard, etc. Most of them were right around 34-24-34 with 18" thighs. In other words, depending on the store, a size 0 or 2 today.

I like a girl with some meat and curves...much sexier than skin and bones.

hmmmm Marilyn did not look anywhere as lean as Giselle. Don't forget in Marilyn's days they used corsets to squeeze the waist in so you could have fat thighs and still a 23" waist. Giselle is also 5'9" or 5'10" and 35 inch hips on a 5'10" woman look different than 37" inch hips on someone 5'5" - in my opinion, a lot better. I personally love Giselle's body type!

AGAIN I STATE:
I did NOT make this photo (couldn't if i wanted too) its the message it sends. A lot of women starve themselves into eating disorders trying to look like the top row of women instead of embracing that maybe their body wasn't meant to look that way. Keira Knighlt I'll admit does look good, though :P

^^^THIS^^^ She isn't trying to BASH anyone and she didn't say that skinny girls are gross shes just stating the obvious - that our society pushes girls into believing that ONLY skinny is beautiful. Most people cannot achieve this kind of body without hurting themselves. EVERY person is different and beautiful in their own way.

Then that is an issue with society, not people in the pictures. You are bashing people no matter how you look at it. It's bullying. So back in the day with Marilyn and then were what people wanted, did people get all ticked at them because not everyone is as curvy or as busted in the chest. It's a change in the ebb and flow of society. In 30-40 years most likely it'll change again. Haters are going to hate. Some people just want to tear down what they aren't and people will always strive and try to achieve what they aren't. It's part of life.

EXACTLY! Its about society, thats my point and hers. I'm not bashing on anyone and you are implying that I am! People are attacking the OP tho and I don't think thats fair thats why I commented. The OP didn't come in here and say these woman are disgusting and people are implying that she did. She is saying its an issue with society pushing girls to think ONLY this is attractive. I think both sets of woman are beautiful in their own way personally. To all the other people who are bashing thin or fat then shame on them.

everything im finding on Elizabeth taylor says she was 36-21-36

I just posted this on FB yesterday. My opinion is that is didn't get hotter, but that's just me. It's sad that the clothing industry has made it even harder to have womanly curves. I wouldn't mind being curvy so much if shopping wasn't such a nightmare.

I hate having to shop for jeans and finding the pants are made for some chick with no butt. I'm just draggin' this wagon and I'm proud of it. No way would I want a no butt!

TeraMarieD

I love the bottom row...gorgeous ladies!

No matter how skinny I get I always have a booty, lol.

IIm not bashing on the op im bashing on the people coming in here calling the thin girls skeletons,and refuges. Its disgusting and a double standard which is what ive been trying to point out in my comments. Its JUST AS BAD as society saying you have to be thin. and for the record I dont understand why anyone gives a fvck what society says they should be

I showed my fiance these 8 images and asked him who he finds the most attractive.
He picked out the four that are on the bottom.
This gives me confidence in my curves. lol

BUT. Women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes. Women who are tiny are just as much women as women who have curves. It can hurt those really small ladies feelings to be told they aren't feminine. (My sister in law to be is TINY TINY just naturally, for example)

But starving yourself... who wants that when you can eat and be sexy too?

I completely agree. Keira Knightley was GORGEOUS in the first Pirates of the Caribbean. She was a new star and had not given into the pressures of Hollywood yet. She was simply beautiful.

By the third movie she had lost so much weight. It really detracted from her looks. So sad. Can't these girls see how unhealthy they look? I know I am no one to judge. I'm a little too far on the OTHER end of the spectrum (;D) But still, it's a shame.

I hate shopping for jeans and there's only one pair in a size 2 or 4, while there's dozens of pairs in 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14.

And when I wore those 10s and 12s, I hated shopping for jeans then, too.

I honestly don't know of anyone who likes shopping for jeans.

Looking "skinny" or looking curvy can be just a matter of wearing different clothes.

va-va-voom! LOVE THAT DRESS...you look amazing no matter what

The disclaimer need to be with each person. If you run with the pack of wolves that is your own fault when you get chewed up and spit out. Too many people are afraid to be different. That isn't societies fault, but the fault of the person. Everyone is so quick to blame society or others. The truth is written on your own heart.

Yes but keep in mind that it's not just adults we're talking about. If people, especially young people, weren't influenced by the media, then where do beauty standards come from? Why is there such a huge business for marketing and advertising? I wish it was as easy as you're making it sound but it isn't.

This what is making it humorous. A good chunk of these girls are the same size on top and bottom. A lot of it is placement of the how they are posed and photoshop. The top row I'd wager a few of those have been shopped to make them look even skinnier as TMZ and the bunch do that to help promote the story. Add in bottom was professional photos in a sitting and the top are spontaneous pictures at a beach where they aren't posed, in makeup and etc. This image was always about propping up one side and not the other.

To put things in guy standards.. I can't believe women sometimes, as a guy I find 6 of those girls very easily hot hot hot! Any man that says otherwise like they like just the bottom row is most likely only telling that to be a white knight or to make the person that asks them feel better. I have no probably being 100% honest and saying yes 6 of those women are ultra beautiful. I don't care what a women's dress size is, and has never been a factor if I think she is hot or not. I don't have an application process where it asks their measurements, I go by what is pleasing to the eye and that is all shapes and sizes.

To make it out to be about one side or another is just being plain and simple catty. Add if you aren't living that way you should spend less time worrying how others spend theirs. If people minded their own business then society as a whole wouldn't have these standards and values to hold people to. People are held to them because people themselves hold themselves to them. It's not societies fault, it's the fault of any one person that holds themselves to those standards. If a majority didn't hold themselves to the standard then the standard wouldn't exist. Every single one that is in that majority is to be blamed, not society. Quit trying to find excuses or prop yourself up on top of others.

Those girls look unhealthy.

I have never thought the "bony" look was more attractive. Old Hollywood was always more glamorous!
