Has changed so much in the last 50 years.
Then:
Now:
Does anyone know what I mean? Personally, I prefer "then" to "now". It was classy then. Now it's kinda slutty. All of these little girls think that they have to be super-thin with big boobs and wear skimpy clothing to be "beautiful". And a lot of guys think they have to be the stereotypical prettyboy. I don't know. We already knew I was weird, heh. What are your thoughts?

| in a society based on money and the material that comes in it's wake, the one thing that sells better than ice cream is sex. |

Hmm, make a nice combination though - ice cream & sex. hehe
But yeah, I knwo what you mean, I much prefer then to now. One of my all times crushes is on Gene Kelly.
Oh, i should put him in the celebritie thread...
I bet you never thought your movie would turn out this way
You crossed the other way, youd hope i wouldnt see you, you say youre doing fine, but thats not what it looks like, your undercovers on...

I watched this documentary the other day, about strip bars or something...This guy was saying that theyd be in a club (he worked there), and theyd be girls dancing naked on the stadiums, and around the poles etc, but if a woman came in in a tight pencil skirt and tight sweater, every guy in the club would turn round and drool over her.
What you dont show is always more alluring than what you do.

Exactly...I'd rather have something left to the imagination than have it all right there for everyone to see.

i think the "classic beauty" look is still very much a standard (among all the new, trashy slutty stuff)>
take Jennifer Connelly for example
sheer simplicity.
can one imagine anyone more perfect? no. one can't. one can not, indeed. |

I agree I think for the most part peoples taste in the way they want their celebrities to look hasn't changed at all, just they way the celebrities package those looks.

| I don't think it's valid to compare major actors/actresses of one era to the pop stars of another. It would make more sense to pick current actors like maybe Mel Gibson and Cate Blanchett. |

Modern actresses comparable to Audrey Hepburn (beautiful in a cute way) might be Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts.
For guys, there's still Harrison Ford, Pierce Bronson, George Clooney, and many others.
Sure, the slutty look wasn't so much around 50 years ago (what about Mae West), but that's doesn't mean "classic" beauty is gone. |

I think Christina A is just repulsive, She just looks like she needs a wash.
The white trash slut look is just horrible, i'm sure only the most stupid of men actually fall for it.

even though i prefer "classic" beauty, which someone like, say, Jennifer Connelly has (pictured below with undeserving husband) i don't think we should discriminate against girls who are more overt about their sexuality (like Monica Bellucci). it would be wrong to.

Jennifer Connelelly obviously doesn't mind about the whole beauty thing. Her husband looks like David Moyes.

It hasn't changed that much, I'd say.
The comparisons above aren't entirely fair. An Errol Flynn equivalent today would be a George Clooney or a Mel Gibson, not Justin Timberlake. Though it did just dawn on me that Justin Timberlake bears a slight resemblence to the very young, 1940s-era Frank Sinatra.
The Audrey Hepburn picture above, I can look at and think she's beautiful, but I don't find her sexy. Christina though, in some photos, I do find very sexy. I'd rather roll around with her than Audrey Hepburn. So where sex appeal fits into the beauty equation, I don't know. To me, it counts.
Also there were stars from 50 years ago who worked the overt sexuality angle. Dig up some pics of Jayne Mansfield or Mamie Van Doren. And Bettie Page's cult following thrives to this day.
One thing I do agree with Mr. Crouton Fouton on is his dismay with today's celebrity weight standards. Sometimes I think the lettuce-diet thinness of most of today's famous actresses is more of an effort to impress women than it is to appeal to men. |

There's a button called "Preview Reply" . That's what I do whenever I post a picture, helps me avoid posting company logos and little red boxes. And answer my question on the "Show Yourselves" thread! I'm confused...haha

No somuch for mr professor there, but the floppy, sloppy scruffy hair thang,.
I dont know, i think that im attracted to those sort of guys because its kind of like 'fuck you, i dont care' atttitude, but stilllook incredibly gorgeous while doingit. However, its only the fake attitiude that i go for - i like my men to wash....
Also its kind of the bad boy vibe - which i seem to be really digging right now (again).
but yet at the ame time, guys like Mr Kelly, who are incredibly neat, charming, and gentlmen likem, I would never kick out of bed for eating biscuits, ya know...
