Women and Shape
Filed in archive Weight by Florence Cardinal on April 17, 2007

I've noticed the changes myself. I went to high school in the fifties. I was a skinny kid, all legs and a small bust. The popular girls then were what could be called buxom - big breasted and lots of curves. Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell were excellent examples. I, with my boy-like figure, was not.
I began to fill out on the sixties. Guess what? he pendulum took a wild swing to the opposite side. Remember Twiggy? Even her lips looked bony.
According to the Diet Blog:
It is tempting to draw an inverse correlation between the BMI of models and celebrities against that of the general population. It seems that as the average joe (or josephine) got fatter, the people we idolized became thinner.
