The other night in chat, we were discussing actresses of the past. A conversation ensued of how these actresses in the past were REAL women laugh.gif drool1.gif

 

So I thought Id start a thread about them all.

 

Chime in!

 

This evening's entry...

 

The incomparable Rita Hayworth.

The rest of you may not know this one, but I love her. The "red-haired Marilyn," Rhonda Fleming:

What I love about these women is that they're not skin and bones. I guess Audrey Hepburn was pretty thin, but she was naturally petite, and it suited her. The other women weren't ashamed of their curves.

 

I wish it was still like that today. Those of us who aren't stick figures would like it a lot better.

I definitely prefer a woman with "meat on her bones." You could even call me a "chubby chaser."

I think that this Hollywood trend of super-skinny women is inherently anti-feminine. I've said it before and I'll say it again: real women have curves, not angles.

It strikes me that there's probably a less crass way of saying that, or one could avoid using the term altogether.

It has really bothered me a lot, too. And then there's the plastic surgery craze. Pamela became the ideal, how screwed up was that? Angelina was pretty until she decided to starve herself. Same with Jennifer Anniston. But now actresses have to look like waifs or strippers. Ugh.
