“But I think the first real change in
women’s
body image came when JLo turned it booty-style.
That was the first time that having a
large-scale
situation in the back was part of mainstream
American beauty. Girls wanted booties now.
Men were free to admit that they had always
enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments
later, boom—Beyoncé brought the leg meat.
A
back porch and thick muscular legs were now
widely admired. And from that day forward,
women embraced their diversity and realized
that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha
ha.
No. I’m totally messing with you. All
Beyonce
and JLo have done is add to the laundry list
of attributes women must have to qualify as
beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have
Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic
button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California
tan,
a Jamaican dance hall booty, long Swedish
legs,
small Japanese feet, the abs of a 'female' gym owner,
the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of
Michelle
Obama, and the chest of a barbie doll. The person closest to
actually
achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we
know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our
athletes.”
