I was watching TV and there is a new show about women who are over the hill and they all want to be models. I thought it was pretty cool. We saw this skinny older woman and someone with me commented that she had a "smoking hot body." It made me think about the past. Back in the day women who were "thick" were considered attractive rather than skinnier women. I believe it could be due to the fact that if you were skinny that meant that you were starving and if you had weight than you had money. Then I decided that it's hard to be a woman! Actually I made up my mind a long time ago, but this just confirmed it all.
If you go way back, like to 15,000 BCE, they found a statue called the "Venus of Willendorf".
She is tubby! Of course those who are involved believe that it's a symbol for fertility, but still. She was worshipped for her womanly size! Look at her bo bos! She didn't wear a bra and she was still believed to be something worth looking at! ;) The archeologists who found her actually gave her the name of "venus". Regardless art tends to tell stories of the past and so it is probable. When we see art today with heavy women we say "ew gross." There was this woman artist who was pretty heavy and she smashed her body against some glass while naked. Not a lot of people appreciate it.
I just wanted to write down what I was thinking about. J Have a good day!
Gotta Go.
