the current media obsession with skinny girls is temporary at best. each age and culture has had different ideas on what is beauty. the ancient chinese thought bound feet were sexy. women that are considered "chunky" today were very sexy in the middle ages as a fuller figure denoted wealth. hollywood stars of the 40's and 50's would be considered "full figured" today.
the pendulum started swinging the ultra-skinny way when Twiggy became a fashion model sensation in the 60's.
today, when i walk through the mall, i see girls that i would consider "heavy" wearing skin tight and revealing clothing that attracts the attention of teen boys. the pendulm is swinging the other way. it'll probably take the advertisers awhile to catch up, but they will.
