That's true. But even in the Marilyn Monroe ere wasn't curvy like this considered perfection? Like stomach, thighs and all? I mean I consider skinny a sign of physical health but it would be funny if all of a sudden that changed and all the models had to gain weight.

I thought for SURE Xtina was going to get tons of praise for Your Body, her weight gain and her confidence in her video. No dice though.

That's not true though. At least not like the natural curves this article is talking about (curves that come with weight). Janet, Star Jones, JHud, Toccara Jones (
), hell even Rihanna have all gone though transformations to be skinner.
