Ah, the 30's...

I saw this photo from 1937 at Coney Island, of beauty contestants. I think the one on the right is pretty hot, but what I find sad is that in today's fashion circles, you know she'd be considered "fat." At least back then, fashion was in touch with what normal people looked like.

Yeah, it is strange that we have created such unobtainable standards for ourselves.

You're right, Jeff. It is sad. Most of the women I'm attracted to would be considered "fat" by today's standards. It's a shame that women are ingrained with that thought that they must be a twig to be beautiful.
