skin + bones = hollywood GLAMOUR

Thin is in! Of course. A size zero always makes BCBG Max Azria, Louis Vuitton and Chloé look a lot better. Don't you think?

The idea of sexy is constantly changing for example in the 1800s, Romanticism idled soft, voluptuous curves. In the 1900s, the hourglass figure was the mainstay of the female figure. In the 1920s, flappers were it, and in the 1940s and 50s, the sexy look was rosy-cheeked Monroe’s with natural heavy curves. By the 60s, the notion of good looks was an ultra-thin shape with pasty twigged frame. The 1980s and 90s proved to be more wholesome with the "lets get physical" mentality of exercise and diet.

However, today in the 2000s, emaciation is the new beauty. Celebrity Living in a recent edition revealed Hollywood’s shrinking, “pin-thin” population. The center pages columned some of the most well known stars pictures, height and weight. It literally resembled a line-up of starved Ethiopians in fashionable couture.

Some of the most shocking was Nicole Richie (above), 24, who is 5’2” and an estimated 85 pounds. Lindsay Lohan, 19, is 5’5” and weighs 109 pounds. Lastly, Mischa Barton, 20, stands 5’9” at 117 pounds.
