So today I went online to find out good jeans for my body type. (as we all know finding good jeans is a bitch). I found a website called "The Perfect Hourglass". It was a website devoted to the American ideal body image for a women. It had a list of celeberties with the ideal body, like Jessica Alba, Eva Mendes, and Scarlett Johansen. There was even a calculator, where you plugged in your weight, height, hip meassurements, waist measurements, and boob measurements. Then it spit of some numbers like your BMI and your distance from the perfect beauty ratio.
According to this, the perfect ratio was .7, so your waist should be 26", your hips 37", and your bust 36". How disgusting is that. A place online, accessible to girls of all ages, that tells you wheter or not your beautiful. Not a calculator for a healthy weight, but one for a weight and shape that will make men drool and other women jealous.
What happens if a girl has small boobs, or boyish hips? Apparently, she's just not attractive. Is this the kind of thing that is supposed to be beneficial? To me, it looks like its just there to make the lucky women egotistical, and the normal women sellf councious. I know so many beautiful women who don't have this "perfect hourglass figure". They have their own butts, and boobs, not Barbie's. To me, these girls are a thousand times more beautiful than the plastic bitches on Laguna Beach and Gossip Girl.
Beauty isn't a ratio or a body shape, and its not how much sex appeal you have. Its your personality and individualism. Its not a mold you have to starve yourself to fit. Young women shouldn't be exposed to this kind of criticism. Its degrading and sexist.
So ladies, eat when your hungry, run when you feel like some exercise, and buy the jeans that make you comfy, not the ones that make your ass look perfectly "apple shaped". Your beauty really is in the person you are and your character, not your boobs.
Am I right?
