For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think it has stemmed from models needing to be very thin in order for the designer's clothes to "hang" well. Nowadays, it is not enough to be a fantastic actress. In fact, some celebs are famous for being thin or for who they are dating, not acting. I mean, Lindsay Lohan? I have never seen her act. The Olsen twins? Same again. Nicole Richie? Not even an actress!!
Back in the olden days, you had to have the X factor, and be a great actor. Skinniness did not feature. Look at Marilyn Monroe. Or Jamie Lee Curtis- she was nicknamed "the body" and she was never skinny!

Now, celebs have to have a perfect body- big fake boobs and weigh less than 7 stone. It's gross. Bring back the talent!
The only time skinny looks ok is if it is on a woman who is also very small all over. a 5'11 woman, size 4 and weighing 5 stone just looks like someone suffering from starvation. The human figure was supposed to look well fed, just look at all the Classical paintings of women. These are the women that men used to have on their walls in their castles, and probably got their jollys off with. Full, curvatious, well fed women. Not skinny, ill, malnourished looking. Bones were never beautiful, unless they were in your cheeks. (face, not posterior)
