A lot of the “body positivity” crowd have dangerous BBL procedures in Mexico and Bratz doll style surgery and filler. Often they are incredibly catty to thin women. Supposedly very inclusive, but they were always ridiculing thin women saying they had flat butts, thin lips, that they looked old etc… it was not even inclusive like it claimed to be. It has been an unhealthy trend and is hopefully coming to an end.
@BellClattets@jadedmulatt1776 I addressed her as an anomaly. She is a Kibbe dramatic and has a statuesque presence despite her height. My point is that very few would “tower” everyone without heels. They’re almost always above average height, but you clearly have an exaggerated idea of how tall they are.
We either need to stop saying white or stay consistent. There is no country in Europe, including Ireland, The Uk and Scandinavia, that doesn’t have swarthy and olive complected people along side fair skinned blondes and redheads. Penelope Cruz is from Spain, and there are incredibly fair skinned people who have blonde and red hair there. In my own family we have a lot of people who have black hair, deep olive skin and black-brown eyes, but we have plenty with light eyes, fair skin, blonde and red hair too. It’s simply that Europeans always have a ton of variation. The only difference is the ratios in cold vs warm areas.
@90ebrocio It also relates to the age you get your menstrual cycle. If you get it later, the legs grow longer. Getting your menstrual cycle means growth stops at a younger age.
Models can range in height from 5’6” (Kate Moss) to over 6’ tall. As a rule they usually have a statuesque vibe regardless of height, but no they will not tower everyone without heels. That’s why the photo in the OP is so silly. They’re comparing someone dolled up for a runway show to people running errands. It’s stupid.
Yeah, it’s kind of dumb. The pendulum always swings to extremes. I’m glad that we’re finally over the bbl “thick” (fat) nonsense that was literally causing health problems though. At least we know that being 10 inches taller or having longer legs is simply unobtainable, so we just work with what we have. Attainable beauty trends always existed alongside supermodels, and they will again. It’s unhelpful to compare dolled up women to women running errands.
I agree and perhaps it might help women to understand that not having a model’s body doesn’t mean you have a bad body. It’s a specific build that few women have. Even though Kylie isn’t super short, she simply doesn’t have that leggy statuesque vibe. She looks more pinup or centerfold and that’s okay -seldom can you be both. We’re not allowed to discuss things like this anymore thanks to “bOdY pOsItiViTy”
They might not have the 1990s OG pedigree like the ones you named, but they fit the aesthetic. Supermodels from the 1990s are in their 50s and 60s now. They still do runways shows sometimes, but obviously the younger generation is probably going to start taking over the runway shows. The fashion industry didn’t fare well with the 2020s trends and are going back to classic industry standards. People complained about it in the 1990s too, because the body types are rare. Most women do not have long af legs like that and it makes a lot of us jealous, but we’ll be okay.
@JustineBateman The world has probably been fooled by AI since before the general public had access to generative AI. Media used to use other techniques to fool people before AI. AI literacy should be taught, but I wouldn’t put too much faith in what you believe isn’t AI either.
@Cadyshaun1 I’m seeing guys on the right putting Hunter up against afab women too though. This is not as simple as the extreme right or the extreme left try to make it.
