What painters in the late middle ages thought was the epitome of feminine beauty...
...luscious, voluptuous, healthy, well-fed women who could fulfil their roles as wives, mothers, mistresses of households and reflected credit on their husbands and fathers, for being good providers...
This is what (mostly male) fashion designers now think beautiful women should look like...
...women who have no shape, no health, no female characteristics (including fertility), plucked, shaved pre-pubescent girls, almost androgynous...
Do these men hate and fear fully grown, mature, natural, powerful women so much?
And why do we women let mal-adjusted males dictate to us what is normal and beautiful in the feminine form?
December 30th, 2010:
Isabelle Caro - the French model whose pictures are the first in the series above - has died from the effects of anorexia nervosa, a disease she had suffered from since she was 13.
She is the third international model to die of anorexia-related causes in recent years.
Isabelle agreed to be the "face" of a campaign to warn young girls of the dangers of anorexia - she was photographed and featured on a billboard during Fashion Week in the US in 2007...
Rest In Peace, Isabelle...
