AFTER decades of being considered bony, unattractive monstrosities shunned by culture and society, being thin is finally back in fashion.
In a landmark moment for those with fast metabolisms, cultural critics have heralded the long-overdue end of an era when normal, overweight and even the obese are upheld as the universal standard of beauty.
Naturally slim 5ft 10in Carolyn Ryan said: “I have no real boobs to speak of. My backside is not plump and luscious. No man has ever described me as ‘thicc’.
“No matter how much weight I gained around my hips, thighs and bust to be more like a Kardashian, it didn’t stay on. So I long ago resigned myself to spending my life alone.
“But now being slim is in, young, pretty and white women like me are finally covered in the media, and I feel seen. It’s emotional for me to know that my lithe, toned body will finally be accepted.”
Vogue editor Cheska Johnson said: “Heroin chic is back, slim silhouettes are dominating catwalks, the plus-sized reign of terror is finally over. We’re putting a size zero girl on the cover and I don’t care who it shocks.
“If little skinny girls can be represented then perhaps they’ll be inspired to go into acting, singing, modelling or just being universally desired.”
