For the record, I don't mind skinny, and most people have some definition at the clavicle, but when I can start picking out bone markings....it's a turn off for me.
What about Natalie Portman skinny? *smacks lips*

Well, she's preggo now. Maybe that'll change your mind up until birth. ;-)

I thought it was not a bad movie. Of course I watched while thinking about how I could translate it into D&D.

maybe after. Preggo does not do it for me. However having a kid can put all sort of weight on her and increase .......... land size. At least for a few months.

The reason I suggested Ms. Doddario is because she is a healthy woman, who is probably in the 5'6-5'7" and 135-140 lb range, with all that mass in the places where healthy women have it. Had she tried getting into acting before Mad Men became a phenomenon, no casting director would've called her back.
(In Lightning Thief, they had to put her in minimizing undergarments to make her pass for 14-15. Woman isn't quite built like, say, Iga Wyrwal (very few work safe images of Iga, who could probably stunt double for the fertility deity of any D&D pantheon...), but she's clearly someone who both eats and exercises.

Any woman who can work that, an evening gown, and a sniper rifle has got all the right qualities.

What happened to women with class and poise? :(
If there is one thing I've learned, it's that every generation feels that the previous one had more of these things than their own and that the next generation is lacking it completely.
That said, Blake Lively? Good god, the woman looks like she hasn't eaten in a dog's age- where's Christina Hendricks??!?

The only thing I can say to that is that women still have class and poise IF they are given the roles to display it.
Look at the parts given to the stunning elisabeth taylor when she was young or the beautiful Angela Landsbury(when she was 20 she was beyond lovely) Think of the roles given to ingrid birghman or Marylin Monroe.
Now we have segoryney weaver or linda hamilton kicking butt and not bothering with names. Even the very lovely angelena jollie rarely gets to act in full lentgh gowns and display her full beauty because shes busy disarming bombs or killing 40+ guys at a time.
The women of yesterday had entirely diffrent parts to work with than the actresses of today. IMO, please feel free to polietly disagree.

I find it sad that we don't seem to appreciate maturity. I know I'm kind of old, but it seems a bit weird when some of my friends that are around my age mention how hot some underfed girl in her early twenties is, and I find myself saying that she needs a few bacon double cheeseburgers, and she's younger than my daughter. I'm not sure when scrawny teenage girls became the western image of beauty.

It happens once a generation or so. Look at Twiggy(who I'm sure you remember quite wellage-related ribbing)

They have always been so, now it's better, or at least illegal. at one point girls where married at 14, and often their husbands where 21+ even easily as old as 30, half your age is creepy. youth is beauty, money more so. the reason why skinny is popular is it implies you have the time to put towards your looks. a one point round (not fat) was popular, and only cuz not everyone could eat the well.

*Shudder* I actually wasn't alive for most of the sixties. A woman built like a sickly little boy just doesn't work for me on any level.

Technical +1. I prefer my women lush, but I can understand the appeal of the waifish look, although I must stress that it doesn't work for everyone. Most people trying to pull it off just look like they need to eat.

I can relate on some level here BT.
Imagine my surprise when I think I'm gonna score a cute little guy at my local hangout and it turns out to be a woman.
Not even a drag king just a woman in t-shirt and pants with no defineing features that are readily noticable.
We talked a little and she thought it was funny because she goes to guy gay bars so that she can just relax and shoot pool w/o being hit on.

A lot of the overly skinny problem is driven by the fashion industry - It is much easier to hang clothes off a very skinny woman than a healthy one.... so the ideal becomes almost anorexic.
I am with Sir Mix a lot - I prefer women with curves from a purely aesthetic point of view.

My wife can back up the fashion industry pov you put forth. She was JUST on a show(in the audience, but she was in the FRONT ROW! I tell you one day she'll be running the place!!!!!) for plus size fashion, and she was WOWED by what was put forth.

The fashion industry's fixation on models that look like starving little girls and boys would creep me out even more if I didn't find the fashion industry so incredibly irrelevant.
It seems to me that the fashion world is going to have to adapt and quit pretending that these size 0 and 1 models are in any way normal. Seriously, how many size 0 adults do any of us know in real life?

It's a sword that cuts both ways- I know at least one person who is close to a size 0 but that's because she's a super tiny woman(not a midget or dwarf) who is often mistaken for a child from behind. She was ecstatic when clothes started coming out in size 0 and size 1 because she was tired of dressing like a teenager and having to get her business wear out of a school uniform catalog.

I feel for folks at either end of the bell curve in terms of buying clothes, but by definition they represent a small segment of the market place.

UH Sorry CJ. I didn't mean for a funny story to come off as scary.
She and I still talk when ever we see each other at the garage (local bars name) and we both laugh about it every once in a while.Heck she even kids me about a drunk straight woman tying to "cure" me saying I havn't been with a real woman yet, Marie was rolling watching me try and avoid this crazy lady and still try to pick up the guy I was after.

You know, I hear about this a lot both professionally and not- but I have yet to encounter a woman who will confess to actually doing this outside of one dear friend who tried something I will not go into here. I'm thinking it's a little bit like the idea of white women(and that one asian woman) throwing themselves at me solely because I'm black- it only happens when alcohol is involved.

Alcohol is a wondrous thing.
