Cleaving Clavicles
If there is one thing that drives me crazy about the "thin-ification" of movie stars it is the bony clavicle. All those fancy dress straps that rest on those protuding lines. Those deep hollows between the neck and the shoulders. This look is so foreign to my physcial reality. To the reality I have seen in the healthy women around me. I just wanted to point it out.

This observation seems unfair in some cases. Older and/or pear-shaped women often have a natural body distribution where weight collects on their lower body and midsection, rather than their arms and upper body. A close friend of mine is normal weight but has very bony shoulders, and she is very hurt by peoples' insensitive comments on her skinny arms. She wears bulky sweaters even in summer.
Which one of these women is "skinny" or "unhealthy"? Your judgmental attitude belies the fact you are no doubt, one of the many overweight or obese people in North America today.
These women are not "too skinny" and your promoting the stereotype that anyone under 150 pounds is unhealthily under weight is dangerous. Studies prove that being overweight is, in fact, far deadlier than smoking.
These women are beautiful and healthy and should be held up as positive role models for what today's young women should be. Time to banish the women like Rosanne Barr to the past where they belong
