She has no hips. She has no bums. She has no curves. She's a straight stick with no sex appeal at all. You can indeed see her ribs, they were probably photoshopped out though.

This particular concept of beauty seems to be popular in the US. However, a body this thin is not very healthy and it's rather difficult to find - most girls have larger bones and if they try to squeeze to this size, their bones will be showing. Many girls suffer from diseases like anorexia and bulimia because of this unfair, weird concept of beauty.

It convinces many women to get thinner than they are supposed to be. It uglifies them.

I live in a country where we in general like much larger types. Like these, which totally trumps the previous stick figure:



Hope I could explain my point of view here. Also hope Texrat does not remove my picture or my post. After all, this is Off Topic chat, right?

EDIT: as a side note, the girl from the photo is nicknamed as 'mulher-melancia', which means 'watermelon woman'. You can get her photos in google images by googling for her nickname.
