What's with skinny pre-pubescent girls gracing the same magazines promoting plus-sized models and self-confidence? You know what, I don’t want to know how to look great in those sheer summer dresses, or how many people are getting nose jobs…p.s. here's there number, or even that Nicole Richie has united with the Olsen twins who will, together, attempt to fit all their legs into a single leg hole of a pair of size six skinny leg jeans and you can vote whether the jeans will still stay up or fall to the ground…sms your vote too…I guess the message I'm receiving from all this is that you can be "fat" you just wont be desirable. Even I am so used to looking at coat hanger girls, that I notice when a collar bone isn't protruding or whether the models head does in fact look in proportion to her body instead of a strawberry balancing on a toothpick…and yes, even I, the model slammer and magazine milker cares about my weight and wonder why my legs don’t too have a gap the size of Australia between them, before I remember that ahh yes… I ate breakfast! Then there are those that claim natural skinniness, which is all and well…but you have to admit you skinnyton's are a minority…and why should the minority be representing the majority. I asked a few of my male friends yesterday who they thought was sexier, Jessica Alba or Scarlet Johansson, they all said Jessica Alba, except one idiot who said "who?"-I'll have to stop socializing with him. I personally think Scarlet is waaaay sexier. I asked the guys, "Don't you think Jessica Alba has a boyish figure?" to which the reply was, to paraphrase, "Nah, she's hot". This is because now skinny is in, fifty years or so ago a size 14 Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol…what's happened? Why are curves out of fashion? My controversial and slightly unsupported belief is that all men have become gay, and thus are attracted to the boyish shapes of Keira Knightly and Jessica Alba, and because the fashion world is dominated by men, like the rest of the world, the androgynous, rake thin woman without curves is everywhere. So when did all men turn gay? Well, I'm working on that...but if all men are not gay (as I suspect most men will argue, and I for one hope), why is skinny in and the natural shapely woman out?
