The 'perfect women': A journey throughout history

Well, this is what consumes my Saturday night! I have decided to take a look at 3 different decades, 1950's , 1990's and 2000's and compare what was considered to be the 'perfect' body for women at that period of time. I know this all sounds riveting!

1950's (I have decided to use this pink font because it reminds me of this particular decade)
In my personal opinion in the 1950's it was attractive to have a 'curvy' feminine body (think hour-glass). We have all probably heard the rumour that 1950s glamour star , Marilyn Monroe was a size US 16. Even the undergarments of this decade were designed to enhance feminine features!




The 1990's
Well in my opinion the late 1990's and early 2000s encouraged women to have 'big boobs' and an athletic looking stomach. I remember that I used to have a barbie doll and it's stomach had abs on it! Have you ever noticed how almost all pop singers used to dance around in mini crop tops showing off their stomachs with their boobs bouncing all over the place? It was all about being fit and healthy!



Nowdays
Well it seems that nowdays it is attractive to look almost malnutritioned! Models are looking skinnier and skinnier! I don't really know what else to write about this topic , especially since it is overly debated and discussed. So I decided to include a few images instead! Note: If you type in 'skinny' into tumblr a whole heap of stomachs will pop up! Ho hum!
