I was once a skinny blond 18 year old and I gotta tell you I am way past that now.
I am now a full bodied 56 year old.
I am distressed by all the images of women that are now popular.
A friend just sent me an article on the preoccupation of being under weight for women these days.
How our (in the states) models are now 18% thinner than their counter parts in the 1960's.
We in the US are the most over fed country and we are dealing with diabetes and heart disease and then our magazines show women who are 18% thinner...I see what you are saying about women looking like young boys....
We have been moving in that direction since "Twiggy".
I like to look at the European images...some of them are women with real full bodies and they seem to celebrate their bodies.
We can do that too.
I celebrate my full, healthy, aging body!I appreicate your going into this topic.
I thought what you shared was important. Thanks.
