Sexualizing children or infantilizing adult women? I’d say there’s quite a bit of both going on, but I’m always struck by how 20-year-old women in the past were full-on adults, while today 30- and even 40-year-old women are encouraged to dress and act like teenage girls.

mo pie, that’s an excellent “before” picture.

What disturbed me looking at the site Improving Aphrodite, considering the before and after pictures of Venus. It looks like in the after Venus doesn’t look like a woman, she looks like a pre-pubescent girl. What does that say about our society sexualizing children?

Ha Ha! I just looked at your before photo. You are carrying a bit of baby fat there, truly.

I’m not sure I want to see myself thinner, outside my imagination I mean. A mixed blessing maybe.

OMG…..look at how chubby your cheeks are. FOR SHAME!!!!

I forsee a day when chubby cheeked babies are on the “too fat” list (if they aren’t already with all of these JonBenet type beauty pageants out there)

WOW!!!!! That is REALLY depressing!
(On the up side, I discovered I look kinda like Botticelli’s Venus! Talk about a role model, lol!)

I understand that, in Amy Winehouse’s case, some of her weight loss probably has to do with her drug addiction. Which is scary enough. But the others, doing that on purpose? YIKES!
