Here's what Thigh Gaps Looked Like in 1945
Here's the article. The comments are great also.
As my friend pointed out, thigh gaps are for flamingos .

I remember growing up, the "look" to strive for leg-wise was three triangles - at the ankles, below the knee and at the top.
I agree that no one should be disparaged for the way they are built, but I get the OPs point. I never saw the need to strive for thigh gap. And I think the women in the 1945 picture are gorgeous.

It's just all so weird, these random fetishes that we women are supposed to adopt as some beauty ideal.

Beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes and there's more to beauty than the way one looks. A gap between the thighs seems like the silliest measurement of beauty to me, and just the thought that strangers might stare at my upper thighs to discern whether I'm beautiful enough is most disturbing. Look at my face. Heck, get to know me. Then decide if I'm beautiful or not.
OT, I know. Rant over. |
