Attainable beauty?

Gotta love Lady Smaggle, she is not only hilarious but spot on, on many topics. She recently did a post about the changing image of models in the last 10 years. I grew up with more curvy, natural athletic models. Today the models are so thin that they look like they are on speed aka Amy Winehouse. I understand that some people are naturally skinny, I was a super thin kid, being 5'10 and 121 pounds throughout high school. I was athletic and could eat whatever I wanted. I also did some modeling as a young girl, I was awkward back then and was still curvier than the models of today being that I have always been blessed or cursed with large breasts. But of corse this changes as you age. I am comfortable with my body and confidence is something that is important no matter what size you are, this is a result of maturing and growing up. Thanks to lady smaggle for bringing this up and being just plain awesome! Just look at the difference.  I also threw in part of one of my neg sheets from 1993 blury but it's me.

This is a tough subject...one thing I have to say is: why aren't there pint-sized models? You know, supermodels for the shorter statured lady...
Too bad about the spammer you're getting, those are frustrating. I really curious as to why people waste their time leaving negative comments...why don't they just go look at blogs they do enjoy?

Hey thanks for linking to me! :-)

I totally agree with the clothes horse. I just don't know why people bother. No one is making them read the site so why don't they just bugger off?
