The Changing Definition of Beauty

I thought these pictures were really interesting. Christie Brinkley's career began in the 1970's and Cindy Crawford was one of the most popular models during the 1980's and 1990's. In comparing these two women with models today, we are able to see just how much thinner our supermodels have become. The two models in the bottom pictures look dangerously skinny. It is no wonder why so many girls suffer from eating disorders when the women who are representing ideal beauty are stick thin. I really hope that one day soon, media and society in general will come to the realization that this expectation of women is unhealthy and completely unrealistic. Honestly, comparing the two pictures, I would way rather look like a model from the 1980's, and from my understanding, it seems like on average men are more attracted to curvy women than the severely underweight women with their bones sticking out.
