Yeah, I haven't noticed that. Although I do believe the US population is getting slightly taller, I thought it was a natural thing, not based on stuff in our food.

Most of the youngsters that are in their teens right now are close to or above 6ft tall (In this area, possibly 30-40%) so that tiny little waif look will eventually disappear. This brings up the question as to why hasn't anyone looked into the growth hormones that are being passed on to everyone. There is no reason whatsoever for these kids to be this big across the board. My 4yr old nephew is over 4 feet tall now. At this rate by the time he is 10 he will be taller than me.

I'm just saying she's not curvy or voluptuous by any means, and I've heard some people go on about her great figure. But all I can conclude is that that's based on the modern love for slim-to-thin athletic builds that some champion nowadays. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 7:20:33 AM Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] CLASSIC MOVIE ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE 60S Here's the pic of Fox wearing the tshirt: http://cm1.theinsider.com/thumbnail/400/552/cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/87/50/megan-foxa-all-star-party-6.jpg I have to admit that it looks good on her.

In Salt she looks dangerously underweight. I agree with you on all of the classic ladies. Most of them wore a size 6 or 8 dress. In Hollywood the average is a size 2-4 now. I think currently Jolie is going for size 0. Which is the ultimate. On a side note, I was walking by the tv and they were talking about Megan Fox wearing her 8 year old stepbrother's tshirt.

Remember when the (white) actresses in TV and film had actual curves, full lips, and were often brunette stunners? Sophia Loren, Racquel Welch, Liz Taylor, even Marilyn Monroe--all would be considered borderline overweight in the current atmosphere. I heard a lady on an entertainment show today say for the millionth time how breathtakingly beautiful Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston wore, and wax ecstatic about their great figures. I see Anniston as fit but slim, Jolie as dangerously thin, and neither coming close to the standard of beauty of yesteryear. Although when made up, Jolie's feline features indeed are old school... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 21, 2010 6:28:37 PM Subject: [scifinoir2] CLASSIC MOVIE ILLUSTRATIONS FROM THE 60S -- Celebrating 10 years of bringing diversity to perversity!
