Today, the weight of an average far exceeds that of their TV or Hollywood idol. Infact the average woman now has a BMI that is 23% more than most models or celebrities. Back in the 1900's the ideal size of a woman was volumptous with a corset pulled tight to make her hips and bust appear bigger. The 1920's saw a womans desired figure drop to slender and almost flat chested, as you can imagine the average woman would have a real problem to go from full bodied to slender inorder to be accepted. The sexual revolution of the 1960's saw a meeting of the two types, the super skinny in the early 60's to the full bodied ladies of the dawn of the 1970's. At times the BMI of models and celebrities has lapsed into dangerously anorexic and unfortunately average woman, normally younger women followed this trend into horrifically small sizes. This infographic shows just how much the weight of normal and famous woman has been torn apart.
