Anorexia is a modern phenomenon.

Wow ...Wild
Interesting How 'The Concept' of Beauty has Evolved to The Modern Day

Love the Two Photos of the Women being Viewed as 'Cupids'

So THAT'S where the concept of the "hour glass" figure comes from...
Wow--what a change.
Thanks for posting...

Scandalous! This will surely lure more lonely men to the depravity of the internet. 🙂

Anorexia is a modern phenomenon.

Yes, because this is how the female body should look, amiright?

Look at the corresponding "Tips for Single Women". I think it applies to married women also. I'm sending it to my three daughters and wife.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the Brigitte Bardot photos since it shows her shooting with a rangefinder. (I admit finding it by accident when scrolling to the bottom of the page.)

She was gorgeous too.
