Why is it that if you have curves you're overwieght?
A woman can have curves and still have be the perfect wieght.
I am petite, I have curves and I have a nice butt.
Personally, I rather have the figure 8 and the coca-cola bottle shape anyday over the body of a young girl.
That is the way a woman is should look.
So why is bony acceptable in today's society?
Your opinions.

It's a mystery
Not really - it's a trend perpetuated by the fashion houses who design clothes. The clothes need a certain body type to look their best. The designers showcase the clothes, not the models who wear them. they are basically human hangers for their "works of art"

It's skinny boy-shaped women we see on TV, movies, fashion adds, etc. That's what is presented to us as "normal" and if we see it enough times without asking asking WHY, then we start accepting that shape as some sort of standard of beauty. It's probably marketing by fashion people (it sells their clothes) and also more complicated part of our culture. If more people were starving in our country , I wonder if the standard of female beauty would be healthy curves. I think that's how it was in the 1800's I was sick as a child, and now, 50 years later, am just beginning to get curves. I figure it's a sign that I have fully recovered....All just my opinions.....

Fashion designers have dictated what a woman's body should look like, for no other purpose than to be a moving hanger for their clothes on the runway. Others have then jumped on the bandwagon, and bought into the belief that if the figure is good for the runway or to be a model then that is what beauty looks like.
