There was also these interesting like health things that like doctors at the time used to think about that like pregnant women should be as plump as possible because they have to give as many nutrients to the baby. So if somebody is trying to have a child or expecting child, they would eat all the time and blah, blah, blah. And like that was considered hot. That was the ideal body.

That is why in Renaissance paintings, you can look at these kings and queens and they are like very, they're plump. And that would not be the hot body standard of today, right? You swing to the 18th century or 19th century. This is when the corset era really, really brings in, right? It is so hourglass. It's not even just about like having a tiny waist. They would have these

They would have these

massive train skirts like like six foot train dresses behind them and it was like to have this one specific shape it wasn't even necessarily about like thinness or thickness it was like you had to be both in this perfectly specific way and like we're gonna create these fabrics and literally like break your own ribs and do damage your organs to fit that and then think of the 20th century right in the 1920s we have the flapper that is like short hair it's very a lot more tomboyish but kind of still like pixie girl

completely different from any of the things we just talked about. Then in the 40s and 60s, we have this post-World War I, World War II era, where the ideal body type became this domestic woman. Think very Marilyn Monroe. Like, she's skinny, but she's voluptuous. She has a cinch waist, but is wearing padded bras and big dresses and an apron. And then you can go to the 70s and 80s.

It's now the jazzercise era, right? It was like this lean and muscle-toned bodies were the ideal body. Then... 90s and 2000s, it's heroin chic, those low rise jeans, low, low, low rise jeans. And then 2010s, it's curvy, but fit, you know, the BBLs, but you have a flat stomach and the huge lips like think Kylie Jenner lip challenge.

Think Kim Kardashian with that paper magazine shoe where she's like popping champagne on her butt. And I also think of an interesting side note discussion is like, we really need to have conversations about the way we label some of these body types.

Like the idea that people like labeled Kim Kardashian as like a curvy woman when she was just like a woman with a butt, but then perfectly thin and like every other way. It's like insane to me. And now in the 2020s, we are swinging back to this hyper thinness. Like the BBLs are quite literally getting removed. Yeah. Like, there are celebrities you have who are having their BBLs removed.

And you can even think this is, like, women. Like, the way straight girls love twinks now. Timothee Chalamet, Tom Holland, the boys from Challengers. Like, they love this, like, skinny rat boy. We are going back to heroin chic in this body center in a scary way. Like, there is somebody in your friend group who would scissor role model. Yeah. a woman that would do that with that man.

Like, you know what I mean? Like they let the skinny tattooed boy is like the hot boy now. And you think in 2010s, like that was not what it was. You think in like the eighties and nineties or what the Beatles looked like versus what Michael Jackson looked like versus what like David Bowie looked like. Like these things are not,

unanimous they are not uniform they are ever changing um so because of that again you are chasing a standard that does not exist you are changing a goal post that is perpetually moving which begs the question truly like why do body standards change well when beauty standards masquerade themselves as health standards
