Oh how I long for the 30s, when voluptuous wasn’t a euphemism for “fat”, and being able to see someone’s ribcage was considered wholly unattractive. The “girls guys like to look at” vs. “girls guys like to touch” phenomenon has been plaguing me since Jr. High, when my boyfriends would remind me with some sort of pride of ownership that I looked like Botticelli’s Venus , and yet the skinny girls with tiny little butts would be on top of the “hot lists” that the boys passed around in Math class. (It’s okay; I’m over it now; I mean, why would I be talking about it 15 years later if I wasn’t over it!?)

Of course, it is interesting to note that one of the main features that seems to have grown on the woman on the right side of the advertisement is her bosom; I don’t think there’s a supplement for that.
