Since when?

Since when did "curvy" become a negative thing? Curves are essentially the main physical characterstics of feminine beauty. I ask this because I once again found myself watching daytime television. I was watching Pretty Oprah (Tyra Banks) I have a crush on her. What can I say? So she was chatting with somekind of fashion expert and they were talking about a woman and the fashion expert said that the woman was curvy...but in a good way. As if being called "curvy" was an insult. I can only assume that curvy went the way of voluptuous and became synonymous with fat. That being said, fat is only a bad thing in terms of appearance if you don't carry it well or if it robs you of your curves. Hell it helps some women by giving them curves they don't actually have.

The interesting thing about curvy being used for fat is that I think it shows a blantant misunderstanding of feminine beauty. You may have a hard time to believe this but the next time you watch a fashion show or some kind of fashion related program look at the models with the greatest acclaim or who are in the greatest demand. As skiny or as dangerously underweight as some of them might be you'll notice that they still maintain a semblance of curvyness. Hell next time you look at plus size models you'll notice the same thing. It's the curves that mean everything.

So inconclusion send me the curvy and voluptous women. I'll take them even if popular fashion doesn't want them;)

Oh yeah this also brings up another question. If all these positive, healthy (this is also another word that has become synonymous with fat) traits are becoming synonymous with fat, how are you suppose to be able to give an eloquent compliment?
