My mom gave me these facts a long time ago, and I always go back to them every now and then for a "reality check"...I'm sure many of you have seen it before, but it's always nice to revisit

The average actress and model is thinner than 95% of the female population and weighs 23% less than the average woman.

If shop mannequins were real women they might be too thin to menstruate.

Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14. By today’s standards she would be a plus sized model.

If Barbie were a real woman she’d have to walk around on all fours due to her proportions

The average woman is 5’ 4” 144 lb. and wears between a size 12-14.

Average model is 5’9” 110 lb., size 2-4

The models in magazines are airbrushed—not perfect!
