... for a title to this post. But, credit where credit is due: This post is inspired by all the totty I'm seeing as I make the rounds lately, most recently in Blog-Bud Morgan's Alphabet Wars. Which is all well and good. We ALL like to look at beautiful women.
That said... You should be expecting this, you know I'm gonna do it, I've done it before, I'm not gonna change now, so here comes the inevitable "but." WHY are all the models we see stick-figure, rag trade runway rejects? That's a rhetorical question and I don't want or mean to kick off a war here, that is NOT my intent. I'm thinking I just might begin an irregular feature at EIP featuring substantial women, if only to serve as a counterweight to all the anorexic beauties we see elsewhere. I may do this, I may not. But I will today.
So... here's Whitney Thompson, a "plus size" model who won some sort of model competition in the recent past:
Forgive me my ignorance on Things-Fashionista; I'm not at all well-versed in this space. But we know what we like and we do like young Ms. Thompson. She could park her Jimmy Choos under my bed any ol' time. You can google her for more hawtness.
I mentioned over at Morgan's place that I think the culture's changing definition of beauty is a generational thing. Not to flog the dead horse or anything... here are a few examples of what I was raised on in the beauty space:
Marilyn
Gina
Sophia
Get my drift? This seems to be a case where we're not wallowing in nostalgia; things actually WERE better in the way-back than they are now.
One final shot across the bow... this was my first step in researching this post:
