32. I don't understand the fascination with anorexic looking women.

Edited on Sat Sep-01-07 05:13 PM by AZBlue

Kate Moss has a pretty face but the body of a 12-year old boy.

I am currently too heavy, but at no time in my life would I allow myself to go below a size 8. And if I'm a size 10 or 12, that's ok too (and I'm only 5'6"). I'm a woman and women have curves. Throughout history, the curvier figures were idolized and skinner women were encouraged to gain weight. When and why did this change? Seems to have occured during the 20th century, as women competed more and more with men. Did we decide we needed to look more like them too? It baffles me.
