The Official Victoria's Secret Thread
Actually that's completely incorrect. In several cultures and historical time periods, being skinny meant you were lower class because it was equated with not being able to afford food. Voluptuous, curvy women were considered the best cared for and the most fertile. Even into the first half of the 1900's, being skinny was looked down on. Think Marilyn Monroe. She was considered ultimate sexy and she wasn't no twig. What I was saying is that one body type (whatever it was - the hourglass pin-up in the 50s and the 1910s, or the boyish look in the 20s and the 60s) was preferred over others. I didn't say that skinny was always in.

The Official Victoria's Secret Thread
No offense, but when you look throughout history, there was always ONE body type that was deemed more desirable than others. From the Gibson girl to the flapper, from the pin-up to the waif, there was always one dominant beauty ideal and I'm afraid that's not going to change anytime soon. Sure, there are these body positive movements going on and change is slowly building, but don't expect big companies to follow suit. If we're going to call for diversity in magazines, heck, I would like to see small-boobed girls on the cover of SI, but I know that's never going to happen because that's not the SI ideal. What I'm trying to say is that there's nothing wrong if a company wants to portray its own body ideal. I personally believe body image is taught from an early age and the family should be responsible in teaching their kids enough self-confidence so they don't fall prey in pursuing unrealistic body images later on in life.

But that is the good thing about VS in a sense: other brands have emerged that cater to bigger sizes. Because of them, other brands such as Curvy Kate, Freya, Panache are the biggest sellers for bigger sizes in terms of lingerie; from what I've heard, they are also better fitting. Yes, they are more expensive or not as readily available as VS, but they exist and they sell well. I think VS could follow the model of Boux Avenue (they have both core sizes and DD+) but I think they fear the complaints they're going to get if they start doing bigger sizes: they're too expensive, they don't fit properly, they're not as pretty as the smaller sizes etc. So either way, VS is damned if they do, damned if they don't. People just like to rip them apart because they are most well-known lingerie brand. Their stuff doesn't always fit me either so I take my money somewhere else.

2015 SI Swimsuit
You're right. I know SI fired a lot of their photo staff but goodness gracious, these previews look more FHM than SI. I'm pretty sure they have much better photos to choose from and they should be more careful, especially when they're introducing rookies. First impressions and all that.

It looks very J.Crew-ish. Probably because of the setting.
