Whoever said "You can never be too skinny...."

Was probably some skinny bitch and jealous of all the real women around her. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times...fashion model skinny ain't cuttin' it.

This article covers it very well...basically, lots of gay men chasing youth are placing unnecessary pressure on women to try to look like teenage boys. (That's the article theory, not mine...). No matter the reason, essentially, a lot of people out of touch with reality are creating an image of beauty that doesn't really jive with what regular society calls hot and sexy.

I suspect the fashion moguls are out of touch the way CEOs of companies are out of touch with what really happens on the ground. In retail, the C-suite sets sales goals for different stores in their retail chain. They do this without ever setting foot in some of the stores. So, pray-tell, how do you know how a store is doing? How can you tell what their level of success is, if you truly have no idea what shoppers in that town are thinking? And don't tell me you worked your way up the ranks...even if you had (you didn't), I know for a fact you're overestimating your skills in hindsight.

Oops. I digressed. So what I'm saying is, it's simple. Stop chasing the silly image forced on you from on high (evidently, real high. Acid, maybe?). Instead, re-define your image. See yourself as a sensual, hot mamacita. Not some walking praying-mantis. Think about it. If you saw a praying mantis in real life, you'd either: 1. run away screaming, or 2. (if you're bold) squish the thing. So please explain to me why you want to attempt to look like a giant bobble-headed stick thin green bug? You aren't even the right color to pull that off. Pull your shoulders back, swing your hips, and for goodness sake, let the boys figure out how much time they have left to speak to you when they're staring (hypnotically) at your hourglass shape. I mean seriously -- no such thing as too skinny? Pfft.
