What is beautiful?

Height: 5'8 and above; Weight: around 110 pounds

Definition of the ideal body type

So if you don't have them

You're not beautiful?

How is it that you must be tall and thin to walk that runway

Wait, but have the hour glass shape

But, of course, not too much 

Because it's not the clothing that needs to fit you

You have to fit the clothing

Accommodate the standard sizes

Because apparently your size doesn't exist

 See those long legs and small waist?

That's supposed to be 'body goals' for you

As if each and every woman should be cut outs of each other

Barbie dolls mass produced to feed the media's needs

Torsos too narrow; legs too stubby; arms too long

What is it on those mannequins out side of store?

They aren't real humans

They don't represent real body types

Their job is to present clothing available in stores

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Beauty isn't defined by measurements

The size of your thigh gap (as if any man knows what that is)

So why do little girls look up to models

Models that were exclusively selected by measurements to represent
