until you see the 2010s, at which point you will disagree. This, is because the other parts of the article are based on models, and what was considered attractive.
how can they be so right, and yet so wrong?

the 2010's are based on, trending images. which, also includes models that people hate. Besides, it's only 2015, what's a foolish trend for just 2014 and 2015 going to do to the overarching trend of what the ideal body shape is for the entire 2010s? (who can say, there's still a few years before this article should have come out.


Yes I realize that this isn't, really a good place to read anything actually reputable, but it showed up on my facebook and I figured I'd give it a read for the 1910-2000.

Doesn't so much make me wonder what the next decade will be, but rather, what triggers these shifts.

Well, it's not that much of a surprise that the earlier centuries were based on models. During that time, films were just starting to take off and slowly becoming a favorite pastime. So, the idea of celebrities being representations of the ideal image wasn't around quite yet. Aside from royalty and the most respected people in the upper class, the only people with the ideal look of perfection was models and possibly some entertainment artists (i.e. singers [mostly opera]).

I actually think they captured the ideal image of perfection for all of the centuries quite well. The present era's one might be influenced greatly by Kim and Nicki's current trendy influence in the world (whether it's in a positive or negative light) but they are leaning in the right direction with the "curvy" idea.

It's insane seeing the stark differences between quite a few of them, especially the trends that were only 10 years apart.

All I can say is I'm glad the "heroin chic" 90's trend is out. They look positively sick. gonk
And my god, the women of the 60's were tiny. o_o

I personally enjoy the most, the figures of the 30's and 50's.

As for the 2010's... I have to ask... how do they not fall over from the bulk? There's a major off balance issue, there.

I thought that the 50s and 70s looked the best. (shape wise)

2010, yeah, seems to be dealing with, no, not balance issues. they have inflated ego's of hot air.

And obsession with plastic surgery too, perhaps?
