I loved this title! So true!
You might want to do an article on how in the Renaissance (?) period it was beautiful to have a little meat on your bones rather than be so thin/skinny.
I read that somewhere years ago and it made sense.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And the beholders are influenced by what the culture is saying at the time.
You only need a few teenagers to know that!
For instance,I have stood in a dressing room with the same young man just 2 years ago who told me that there is NO WAY he was wearing ’skinny legged’ jeans. He wanted flares.
When I mentoned that I thought he was merely saying what he thought the world was wearing he promoised profusely that this was not the case.
he was really wearing what he liked. he did not supposedly CARE what everyoen else was/was not doing!
That he really and truly did not like the look of skinny jeans.
well, this year, guess what he wants to spend $30 on!?
Skinny jeans.
When confronted in ROSS he finally ADMITTED that NOW he likes them.
And he finally then admitted that this is becasue everyoen else is wearing them!
ha ha.
A small victory for mothers everywhere!! smile.
