They're Bringing Sexy Back

So, I have been on a hiatus for the past few weeks and realistically speaking, I will probably only write sporadically from here on out. My life is going to be filled with Economics, Political Science, and International Relations, and the time that is left will probably be filled by reckless activities in conjunction with alcohol. I’m sure that anyone who reads this blog is a diligent student and wouldn’t have the time to fill their brain with my fluff anyways…right.

For those of you who know me, you will recognize that the majority of my friends are guys. As a result, I am privy to all of their graphic conversations that take place at the bar on wings night. I’m not complaining in the slightest, I actually like taking part in the heated debate as to who would be better in bed; Scarlett Johansson, or Natalie Portman (a tough call, I know). If you were to ask any of these guys who they thought was a fox, never would you hear them say some emaciated looking run way model, who looks like a 12 year old boy. They like girls who actually have breasts and an ass, (unless of course Rwandan refugees turn their crank) so why is it that girls strive to look like they just walked out of a refugee camp?

For a long time I have been fascinated with the pin ups of Alberto Vargas, Rolf Armstrong, Art Frahm, and Robert Skemp. In my opinion, they brought sexy back long before JT and his entourage. The women in their art are undeniably provocative, while still wearing their clothing. Mainstream media has desensitized us to the point where we cannot recognize subtlety. Unless something is graphic and blatant, it appears to go unnoticed. To accommodate for this need, plastic surgery can give women larger lips and tits, and smaller hips. Haven’t you ever noticed how all porn stars look the same? Unlike Vargas’s protégé Marlyn Munroe, these girls enter and exit the limelight as soon as it takes the guy to finish. They are replaceable commodities, and can be bought, consumed, and discarded.

It’s about time that women want to look like women, rather than an oversize coat hanger. If you have a rack or an ass, be grateful. There are women going through dozens of invasive, disfiguring surgeries just to have any semblance of your figure. Don’t let people idealize how you should look, being comfortable in your own skin is what truly defines sexy.
