Comment on We all forget that for a time they were out of style. This 1940 magazine proudly announced that they were back

I have to laugh when I see similar pronouncements now, usually with a reference to Sidney Sweeney and how she is a signifier of boobs being back on the scene as popular. LOL, when weren’t they popular? I remember talking about this just last summer with someone I know and asking about Sweeney - are you telling me there was a time when a beautiful blonde with a great body and a huge chest was going to have a hard time in Hollywood because of those traits? Like someone casting parts was going to be like, “sorry, we’d hire you if you get a breast reduction and gained a lot more weight, because boobs are out and being fat is in”.

The rightwing chuds were all celebrating her as if it was only flat, unattractive and morbidly obese people on the screen just prior? What universe are they even living in?

Also: I’d love to know when or if any heterosexual men were consulted on whether boobs were “in style” or not. I cannot imagine any man that consulted his calendar or with some fashionistas as to whether they were “in style”. 🤣

I have a feeling such pronouncements are being made by groups that are not heterosexual men?
