Guess What? Time for some art! Agian! (And You'll LIKE IT!)

Ok, I want you to take a good look at these three images of Venus. Notice you see no ribs, no bones and no eating disorders. Theses women are not fat, but they don't look like they need a sandwich anytime soon. Perfect! Nice round curves, and a healthy glow. Granted some people in this world, especially in the Midwest, need to scoot back from the dinner table, but not these ladies. I know this is the ideal woman in the artist eye, but think about this. This is the ideal that artists had over centuries, not the ideal woman of today, which is a twiggy skeleton with some skin draped over it.

Some questions if you will....

What is that girl doing in the background of the second picture? Is she trying to get skinny?

Notice how the babies look like real babies, no matter what the era?
