In the days before you could order both groceries and magazine subscriptions online, it was damn near impossible to walk through a supermarket checkout line without seeing the term bikini body plastered on glossies at the newsstand. By todays standards, strapping two pieces of material onto any body fits the bill, but a decade ago, the term was still reserved for only those with six-pack abs and not an inch of perceived bodily "imperfection" in sight.
The definition was so narrow, the ideal so unattainable, that when actress and runway model Kate Upton appeared in a bikini on her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover in 2012, people straight-up called her fat. Fast forward five years to when she appeared on the magazines cover again in 2017a year after Ashley Graham became the first curve model to cover the issueand that same body was criticized for not being diverse enough, proving just how much our definition of the bikini body has changed for the better over the last 10 years

Unfortunately I'm a visually stimulated sexiest male pig that appreciates a "bikini body". And I think most normal males are the same. As with the earlier post on the Perilli Calendar this is feminism going wild.

The definition was so narrow, the ideal so unattainable, that when actress and runway model Kate Upton appeared in a bikini on her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover in 2012, people straight-up called her fat. You can google this cover. I'm no prude but it probably pushes the boundaries for Free Republic.
Point is, no red-blooded male called Kate Upton fat.
Maybe the gay pedophiles who run the fashion industry called her fat but real men didn't. Not a chance.

Socialized medicine and a population of morbidly obese people. What could go wrong?

No we definitely want pictures.
I’ve posted the referred to Kate Upton not bikini body picture.
But now we need bikini body pictures for comparison.

Rush is right that liberalism, feminism, is about letting ugly girls access to the mainstream. No one wants to see fat trucker chicks in a bikini.

"The death of the bikini body is the best thing to happen to fitness in the past decade." So say the dimocraps... The new democrat is a large hairy dike with a big attitude....

As American women become fatter you will see two things: more feminazi sniping against normal-sized sexy women's body types, and two, more euphemisms for obesity, i.e. curvy, large, big, body confident, empowered, etc.
As far as I'm concerned, the perfect female bikini body is and always will be Raquel Welch in that caveman movie.

Id vote for yoga pants as being the best thing to happen to fashion in sometimes.
