Men's taste in women has changed dramatically over the past half-century, shifting away from girls with curves and big breasts towards the androgynous and the skinny.

BULL$H!T!!!

You'll notice that many designers and fashion writers are gay men... and these are the people who are telling the rest of us what's sexy?

Agreed, Oberon.

Curves & big breasts are STILL where it's at for this man. :)

Gay guys are after the boys, hence, they think that female body should be similar to boys.

Seems to have worked to a great extent. I remember the forgettable Jennifer Anniston a few years ago was curvy... just recently, at some premiere, she looked like she'd been through a course of chemotherapy. All to get the "parts" in the movies.

Actually, blame Ballanchine for starting this. He was a choreographer for ballet dancers in NYC in the sixties and seventies, and decreed the tall dancer. Before, ballet dancers were short with the regular feminine shape, though never voluptuous. Ballanchine wanted them tall. BUT--the male dancers had to lift all that heavy bone, and they didn't get any taller or stronger! The answer was to force the giraffes to stay as skeletal as possible so the poor boys could still lift them. This started an entire fashion in the dancers' world, which then carried over into fashion and theatre. And it is the movies that defines what is beautiful.
