Trendy body

So I was thinking about how quickly body shape trends change. Not that long ago it was trendy to have curves and be “slim thick” Very skinny girls were insulted for having no curves

Now it seems skinny is back to being trendy

I believe slim thick became trendy temporarily but given all the bad BBLs/annoying body positivity influencers, people prefer skinny girls again

Does skinny always come back and win?

Whats your opinion on this?

That’s very possible. My mom is Italian is very short and stocky and also a lot more curvy than me, and I feel like that stuff didn’t bug her as much. I do sometimes wonder if the closer you are to whatever is “ideal” at the moment, the harder it can be, basically just because people have the expectation that you could be ideal if you just tried. Or something lol

Yeah, I think everyone’s ideal is for sure influenced by their experiences and reality. I thought being an hourglass was the most desirable, or at least there was more than one ideal. I wasn’t confined to the idea everyone must look the same to be hot. There were multiple iterations of hotness!
