Okay, for the record, Jessica Simpson with a little extra weight is gorgeous! She's got a healthy glow! She has curves! That size is not an unhealthy size. She is not "fat" she's NORMAL, and a lovely healthy normal at that. Fuck off mass media.
And as for Venus, why would we want her to look like a twelve year old girl? I consider myself to be an athlete but instead of playing sports I'm an actor. I do stage combat (including sword in shield, aka HEAVY weapons), aerial dance (trapeze and silks), dance... I need my body to be able to do everything I ask from it and I ask a lot. I used to be teeny tiny. I used to be "altered Venus" size. I see those girls now in their skinny jeans with four inches of space between their thighs as they walk and I feel sorry for them because I think it's unattractive. I was skinny because I had high metabolism and I was lazy. My body was weak. I was a stick with no curves and no muscle. I have EARNED my curves. My thighs touch now. My legs are large and toned. There are muscles in my arms, on my belly. I am PROUD to have these curves. Skinny doesn't mean attractive, skinny doesn't nessisarily mean healthy. The original Venus is so much sexier because she looks like a WOMAN instead of a young girl.
Oh and as for skinny white goddesses, I can now tell you from experience that fighting with any sword larger then a rapier or a small sword takes a lot of muscle. Again, I'm a very physically fit person. I can easily invert myself in the air. I have the muscle for this. Using a broadsword though? I've decided I definitely need to do more strenght building with my upper body because it's HARD. You NEED the strength and the awareness to wield a heavy weapon. Wee little altered Venus wouldn't be able to lift a damn broadsword let alone USE it.
I don't think muscle builders are attractive because they work towards surface muscles and not true strenght. Having a toned, fit body and the ability to use that body... THATS fucking hot and scrawny Princess Thumbalina can't do it. Give me a modern dancer with huge thighs over a model with a 20 inch waist any day.
