i remember watching a movie my freshman year of high school that revolved around how the standard of "beauty" has changed in the public eye over the years. an easy example to give would be girls like marylin momroe, curvy and voluptuous, were once seen as the ideal woman. somewhere along the line the standard changed to adorning slimmer, slender women. The ideal perfect woman seen in men’s magazines and tabloid covers are now skinny. Its almost as if any ounce of fat on the human body is now seen as a bad thing...
does anyone know why/how/when this change started happening? i know not everyone feels that way, beauty is very subjective, i'm just saying the masses as a whole seem to view "beauty" differently now.
