She looks Bettie Page-ish.

Also, dude grabbing the cop's leg looks to be about 5 seconds away from getting a nightstick in the face, one way or another.

The U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help the Europes and should help the Australia and the Asian countries defeat the South Americans and Nazis with our maps so we will be able to build up our future, for our children.

Philadelphia was its own state back in those days; The Pennsylvania Annexation of '52 shook the city to its roots.

I remember back in the 70s when Miss World was prime-time viewing. I think it's on one of the lower cable channels now.

If you look at where beauty pageants are still popular, I think there's a strong correlation with countries that quite heavily police their internet connections.

Well, except they're all more womanly than most women in celeb magazines who are thin. But this is partly about the difference between men and women, and has been the case for a very long time - the people who like thin women are other women.

I ain't gonna lie; those women are HAWT!

Some of them gals are rare dishes, cookin' with gas, and them gams are killer-diller. I'd like to get a look at their share crops.

Came here to say this. It used to be called a "girlish" figure, but that's probably not politically correct now.

Face it, fatties, thin is still more attractive.

I would disagree. It's been my experience that women who profess to love 'skinny' women just hate them, and themselves. I would, in fact, go so far as to say that women's fashion is and has been the most misogynist iinvented nstitution of the modern .world (there are plenty of worse practices out there, but they aren't as new.)

I don't know if it's "like" or "hate", but women buy magazines with thin models. Publishers have experimented with trying more regularly sized women and they won't go for it.

And how is fashion mysogynist? Most of the editors of fashion magazines are women, and the designers are either women or gay men. Catwalk shows have an audience of women and fashion magazines are read by women. If men liked this, they'd be buying cosmo to fap to instead of playboy which has almost no emphasis on clothing.

Bulimia, generational anorexia, depression, life-long warped ideas of body image, nothing hateful there, sure. You seem to be coming from a perspective that holds that only a straight man can hate women, but you need only look at the industry itself, and listen to the things these women and gay men say to and about each other and their models to see that it is plainly false.

In particular, I recall a website referenced here on FARk, operated by a supposed fashion insider, (which I will not name due to it's being vile) which contained a starvation Tip of the Day. The threads in the site's forum which specifically decried the models in 'men's magazines' and Victoria's Secret as being too fat for fashion demonstrate that the ideal of unnatural emaciation put forward by the fashion industry has nothing to do with being attractive to men.

TL;DR - you don't have to exclude women to hate them.

You're aware of why fashion models are thin?

OK, men like thinner women, but stick-thin models are for fashion, while porn generally has slightly less thin women.

/would still fap to a fashion show if it was all I could get

these women are thin

the average women today is fatter than the average women then

a few overly thin fashion models today has no bearing on the above two statements you silly cowhogs

Mmmm, vintage sluts. You can see their legs.
I think about them living now. Covered in wrinkles and bedsores. Boobs drooping lower than a hound dog's smile. Wearing adult diapers or a catheter bag because they cant control themselves. Dentures that keep on falling out of their mouth that stinks of cat food.

Why yes, that is New Jersey.
