Not curvy enough for mom!


Listening to NPR Morning Edition today I heard the most hilarious story by a 94-year-old woman whose mother was concerned she wasn't curvy enough as a young lady. The answer? Mama bought her a blow-up bra right before she left for an international trip. In true Lucille Ball fashion, the bra takes on a life of its own while the girl is wearing it on the airplane. Check out the link below -- very worth listening to.
The story puts anorexic chic into perspective. At one time being too skinny was the anti-sexy and girls did their best to grow rumps and boobs to get a little attention. Remember, Marilyn was a size 14! She could have eaten one of the Olsen twins for breakfast with a biscuit and some gravy.
