Vintage Ads With Some Weight Behind Them

Ads Show that Curvy is the New Skinny

While we here at Quail Bell appreciate women of all shapes and sizes, popular culture doesn't seem to be quite as sympathetic. With Kate Moss saying, 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,' it's nice to take a look back and see that women used to want to add some oomph to emulate Marilyn Monroe, instead of shedding weight to look closer to a skeleton.

Those were the good old days. I wish it was like that now considering that the average size for a women is a 14. We all just need to embrace in each other! :)

I agree! It'd be awesome to go back to those days for a hot second and be slobbered over by all sorts of men

I love how the poor skinny girls are "friendless"! It's funny how much culture has changed in just a few decades.

Any man who can't appreciate some good curves doesn't know a damn thing.
