Whats with all the wins? These ads are hating on thin people, “Skinny Girls aren’t Glamorous Girls?” It puts pressure on girls to change their body unnecessarily to be considered beautiful just like ads do today.

Girls need to just be healthy and proud. Naturally skinny or thick, whatever. It’s your health that matters, among other factors (cleanliness, personality), that make you attractive.

They still weren’t going about things the right way, but it was certainly a difference.

i think skinny meant something different back then, cause most of those girls look fairly slim. like sarah c. said, i think they meant gaining weight in the t&a regions, not gaining weight in the way that typical americans do these days.

Do you feel better about yourself, now that you’ve made someone else feel bad? Can we stop this cycle of making fun of people’s body types? Skinny or fat, it’s just plain mean.

None of them are fat tough. I think it was ment to gain ”in specific places” but a respectable add could not make reference to boobies.
