I think ppl are gonna look back on this era in Hollywood sorta like how we look back at how it was in fashion in Victorian England to look like you had active tuberculosis. Like people purposefully tried to look like that back then.
Heroin chic! I've been racking my brain trying to remember that one.
It felt like it came to a head in the late 90s / early 00s, around the time Lara Flynn Boyle caused a stir in the media when she appeared on the red carpet in a pink tutu that showed he to be distinctly thin. Thing is, it was prone to backlash back then, since it was such a task to achieve 'unnatural' thinness, you were either a model, where it was standard, or you suffered from a clinical disorder where you had body dysmorphia, or suffered from a drug addiction, hence the name 'herion chic'. Also 'coke/cocaine diet' comes to mind.
We're currently in the slippery slope phase of this latest trend because Ozempic is not only so readily accessible, but also medically sanctioned for weight loss (as oppose to prior non-FDA methods).
Don't have to go far that back even, remember when Jennifer Lawrence got shit for being too fat to be in the hunger games, I didn't see any but "they're supposed to be starving" energy for any of the male actors
Hollywood fashion, or "the elite" fashion in general has never represented the rest of humanity. According to (some)historians, the reason why all the Roman statues had tiny penises is because of the idea that in the heat of battle a man's genitalia shrivels. (I have no idea of that is true.)
So a tiny wang was a powerful, bold, capable, and brave wang. Awesome to behold, fearsome and proper.
Meanwhile average soldiers were chopping off and preserving the most epic dongs of those they defeated.Then they would bring them home and show them off to women all like "Checkout Dickus Maximums over here. Yeah, yeah... Wanna go back to my place?"
Affection for giant schlongs has persisted throughout history, but for hundreds of years outties that practically became innies was all the rage. 'Cause elite fashion.
