Join me on a voyage to a simpler time. When women were naturally beautiful; not air-brushed, silicone enhanced, botox injected, anorexic waifs.

We will encounter curvy Rubenesque women. Full-figured women.

The journey starts today . . . .

Ru·ben·esque (rōō'bə-něsk')


adj.
  1. Of, relating to, or in the style of painting of Peter Paul Rubens.
  2. Plump or fleshy and voluptuous. Used of a woman.

Extreme thinness as a beauty aesthetic tells us what we want from women. Extreme thinness says something. It declares a willingness to dominate want. We needn't waste our breath telling young girls they don't need to be thin to be pretty. Instead we might better spend our time figuring out why needlessness as a character trait has become attractive in women. In this century, in this country, where women are stronger and more powerful that any other period or culture in documented history, the waif beauty ideal screams that a counter message is being whispered into the ears of our girls.
