ANOTHER REASON TO HATE MODERNITY:
Men lusting for less curves (AFP, December 20 2002)Men's taste in women has changed dramatically over the past half-century, shifting away from girls with curves and big breasts towards the androgynous and the skinny.The assertion comes from two psychoanalysts who pored over every Playboy from December 1953 and calculated the body mass index of every centrefold. Over 577 issues, the models became taller and their waist increased, while their hips became narrower and their bust became smaller. If Playboy is any guide, the needle on the male sexual compass has switched from Marilyn Monroe to Eva Herzigova, the scientists say.
Great, soon they'll all look like young boys and the culture will be entirely degenerate. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 19, 2002 9:25 PM
Lucky bastards- they get paid to look at porn. Imagine the conversations when asked "How was work today?"

All;
One day I must relate the story about She Who Is Perfect In All Ways and her experiences buidling and testing web site blocking software, because of course if the software always worked, you wouldn't need to test it...
Does this mean I should give my WonderBras to Good Will?
I think the answer is in the second paragraph you quoted. Just who in the heck is Eva Herzigova?
Finally, I will only believe this is a valid trend when the next Disney heroine resembles Twiggy not Jessica Rabbit.
Actually, for the most part I think the boys will look at whatever you put in front of them.
Maybe it was just the editor's
taste that changed.
I was hoping someone else would know what a Herzigova is. Sounds like somplace that Serbs would be killing Bosnians.

Posted by: jerry dodge at December 20, 2002 6:45 PMMy guess is that what they're seeing is simply the greater availability of breast implants. In the early days, in order to get a, umm, appropriately mammalian display, you would end up with curves all over. Now, you can have your pyramids upside down, if you will.

Posted by: oj at December 20, 2002 10:04 PMEva Herzigova is a hot anorexic blond from I think the Czech Republic. Trust me, if you Viagra-popping freaks knew who she was you'd want to bone her.

"hot anorexic" is an oxymoron, except for the heroin-chic youth crowd.
