..........It is now widely-acknowledged that body size ideals are, in part at least, shaped by an individual's resource security, such that heavier body sizes are preferred where or when resources are unpredictable or unavailable. ..............
and there you have it friends. this is why millionaires go for anorexic models and the poor man goes for big juicy curves
actually no.
The fashion industry is controlled by who? White women and gay men. And women do their best to eliminate competition. Women do not like other women having better looking faces, bigger breasts, bigger butts, and better figures. And the clothes mean more than the models. So, what happens is that there is a primarily androgynous look about the face, and a stick figure. And the gay men tell the women how the women should walk with an exaggerated swing...also, because its fashion.
Then, this image is pushed through the magazines like Vogue, Cosmo, and others and perpetrates that this is desirable. And that men must go for this look. Rich male celebs want the best, and want a model, because its propped up as the best.
All it is, is an image manufactured by the Fashion Industry, marketed and sold thru magazines...and devoured by the celebs, and as we know the reg women want to be desired by rich men, so want to look like that or get into the industry---and the cycle continues.
