    Propaganda. Notice how the top row are candid surprise shots that are especially unflattering to those women. the bottom row are all staged shots in very flattering poses.

    Very true observation.


    That doesn't make ANY difference! The women in the top four pics are half the size of the bottom row! It doesn't matter what angle you take pics of them, or the girls on top... the ones on the bottom are ALWAYS going to be curvier than the top. No "propaganda" involved because the girls on the top WILL ALWAYS BE THAT TINY no matter HOW they are positioned.


    No they are not look at the messurements they are all almost IDENTICAL

    Honestly, I don't think either row looks good. The women on the bottom have no muscle and the women on the top are bones.

    I am skinny and proud. Fit and toned and skinny. Hardly a curve anywhere on my body, and that's the way I like it. Don't much give a crap what the men like, or other women's opinions either, actually. What I DO care about is health, and it doesn't take much overweight to put one in the obese category, relative to belly fat, i.e. And another thing. I agree with a few other posters who observed that nobody would DARE point out the faults of heavier women in such a way because they'd be flogged to within an inch of their lives. But it's totally ok to trash talk skinny women, make fun of, say only dogs want bones, etc. Whatever. I don't talk bad about you overweight gals, so I'd appreciate more respect because of my lesser size. Thank you, and have a nice day. :-)

    Love that it gives women empowerment but I think that those women are beautiful. Not everyone would want the 2 body types but the grass is always greener on the other side. Just be happy with you who you are (or try) :)

    Ive seen this on FB as well as tumblr and I totally understand how curvy girls might feel good about it, but bashing the thin girls for beeing thin is just as bad as bashing curvy and overweight girls for not fitting to the western standards and ideals of beauty. Really unnecessary to keep spreading it, no matter how good the intentions are.

    This^^ Look I agree that it's probably not best to aim for an unhealthy /dangerously low or high weight, I don't think it's fair to criticise womens bodies like this. There are some slim women out there who struggle putting on weight, like women struggle to lose it. We should learn to stop tearing each others bodies apart and love them regardless.

    Thank you for that - the top ones look unhealthy - helps keep some perspective :)

    my measurements match Heidi's 34-26-34 I do not look sick unhealthy or like an adolescent boy. I have boobs-I have a booty and I have curves!

    A lot of the time ladies will try and push their own insecurities on the way men or the media portray us, but the truth is out of all the men I know none of them have shown any aversion to a nice curvy, HEALTHY lady. Men I know like all types of women. Women come in bone thin or thick and pear shaped. I'm a pin up photographer, and love women of all sizes. My main concern is that they be HEALTHY/taking care of themselves on either end of the spectrum. All women have their own special something and I think that we should embrace all body types - not pit them against each other.

    I myself have a preference to curvy, pin up types but have worked with the most beautiful of naturally thin ladies as well.

    Love yourselves, be healthy, and for Gods sake stop comparing yourself to others! You're all beautiful in different ways.

    I think they're all attractive. Body-shaming on the other hand, isn't.

    Not that I'm a fan of hers or anything I just wanted to point out that Keira has decent abs which might indicate she works out a bit and might just be built that way
