I'd guess because that hourglass shape is something that is naturally attractive, regardless of whatever else is currently the trend. That's why these days exceedingly thin women with boyish figures wear certain styles of clothing or undergarments to give the illusion of having defined curves.

Ah, yes, the hourglass figure.

These illusions must be a real pain to establish and maintain.

Well, I didn't mean anything artificial or extreme, necessarily. I just meant that a defined waist is always in style.

That's part of the reason I've never understood the whole tight jeans thing, its just asking for a muffin top, even if you don't even have that much up there.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I guess that the tight jeans of today aren't a whole lot different than the corsets of yore

Is it possible for someone's face to be too perfect? I think that's the case here... she doesn't even look human to me. It's like she's engineered to be so complete in the way she looks...that it's hard to even find her attractive...

It's an uncanny valley for models... I'm not attracted to her... because she does not exist...

Yeah, but it's not even because it's a picture.

If she was walking down the street... she would fly under... or maybe over my awareness.

Maybe, it's a conscious awareness of how much effort looking like that takes... and in my mind I can't find someone who is that perfect in features attractive...

It's a strange idea I have... wonder if anyone else thinks similarly?

Strangely, I find the originals more appealing than the touched up versions. I'm very sensitive to people presenting a false reality to me... and if I get a whiff of fake presentation... it's a turn off.

On the same coin, I don't like makeup... or hair dying (well if it's over the top like deep red or green or blue... then strangely it goes around to the other side and it's okay again.)

I tend to think that 'unreality' of her look, as with a lot of models, is more the fact that she's holding a rather unnatural facial expression, kind of like if she was just being herself you'd probably see that just fleetingly maybe once in a great while. So if you did see her IRL it would probably take a while before recognized her. That said, IMO, without all the camera, make-up, and unusual stuff she'd probably be kinda average looking and I think when you 'glam it out' you could probably get way more women than you realize looking that artificially perfect.
