What date is it?
Whoever People magazine deems “most beautiful” this year is just a representation of what has bubbled up in the cauldron of pop culture. That silhouette of the “ideal woman” has been put through a series of fun house mirrors (fashion, movies, pop music, politics). It also changes year over year, so the physical qualities we embrace today are often at odds with those from previous generations.
To prove our point, we’re taking a closer look at body ideals over the last 100 years—which shows that, as they say on Project Runway, “In fashion, one day you’re in, and the next day you’re out.”

I do like this. I like the illustration that curvy, thin, tall, tiny, athletic, all of these have been ideal at some point.
But.
I don't love it, because I wish it didn't exist. I'm pretty damned sure there is no corresponding post showing how much the ideal MALE body has changed throughout the years.
Because men just get to BE whatever they are.
Well, it's time women have the same benefit.
Dig these pictures, and then decide that you are already in the perfect body, here and now: yours.
Love it.
Live in it.
BE.
