I was actually taken aback when I saw her wearing the floral dress on the website. Even my husband was shocked. <br /><br />My mother-in-law was a teen in the 50s/early 60s and she said that they would tighten the belt on their dresses as far as it would go to create a curvier look! They wanted to emulate little waists with lovely girly hips! <br /><br />Whenever I am in the salon getting hair done, I will flip through InStyle or Vogue as I wait for my color to process. Most of the ads for Versace, St. John, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, etc all promote the stick-thin ideal! I cannot understand it! <br /><br />If a girl is thin naturally, that is her shape. My sister is like this. But when someone starves themselves to the point they look shockingly thin, that is bad. <br /><br />As for Stop Staring, I loved the fact that their models looks like vintage girls. I hope they are not doing the anorexic thing because some celebs have been seen wearing their clothes.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-56780616773638121642010-06-09T15:38:33.744-07:002010-06-09T15:38:33.744-07:00OMG when I saw the new model for Stop Staring I wa...OMG when I saw the new model for Stop Staring I wanted to scream!! What are they thinking???That model is beyond 'model skinny', and the whole thing about vintage beauty is that those women had curves. And if they didnt, their underware and clothing gave them curves. I'm so disappointed in them for their choice. Its not just an unachievable goal to look like her, its unhealthy and unattractive.TemperamentalBroad@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305259918940809169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-89780367056239989882010-06-09T09:57:25.150-07:002010-06-09T09:57:25.150-07:00Thank you for your response and compliments, Krist...Thank you for your response and compliments, Kristen. I hope all women, vintage or not, honor themselves each day. We should celebrate our bodies and ignore the pressures of shallow fashion trends.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-84171636177381867062010-06-09T07:01:43.686-07:002010-06-09T07:01:43.686-07:00What a wonderful post.
