Hello Facepunch,
I am here today to make a new thread about the comparisons between vintage women and the women of today.
Women of the early to mid 20th dentury hold a lot of signifigance in todays world. The women of the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s were know as the women who overcame sterotypes and broke barriers to become the people they are today (in the US specifically). As such that includes the changing of roles from strictly housewives to a variety of jobs including businesswomen and sex symbols.
Two women known as sex icons during the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s were Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. They were the pioneers of sex icons and paved the way for the women of the modern world. Serving as models, sitcom actresses, and even big screen productions, both of these women are household names in American History.

Since most of us lived and remember the end of the 20th century, we know how women are in todays society. Working on rights equal to men, they have become a commonsight in places where 30 years ago, only men would be seen. The Womens Rights Movement in the 20s and the Prohibition in the 30s, aas well as the advent of World War II in the 40s all contributed to this.
Todays sex symbols are know less for being sophisticated, and more for being sexy and revealing. Typically these traits were very risky in the mid 20th century and very rarely did it occur (that is until the advent of the Playboy Magazine by Hugh Hefner in the 50s).
Women such as Jessica Alba and Megan Fox are known for being traditional modern sex icons and as such are typically attributed with the cute revealing girl and the sexy revealing girl accordingly.

[b]Now the real question I have for Facepunch is, am I the only one who finds vintage women very attractive? Not saying that I dont find todays women attractive, but to me, the curvy vintage women hold a special attraction. How does the rest of you feel on this?[/b]
the way things are going do you think we'll just have nude celebs in the future (not pornstars)
Hourglass figures are great. It's just a shame the vintage girls didn't show more skin in publications.
I mean I'm sure they did at shows and that but I wasn't alive in the '40s.

:flashfap:
Vintage clothing = P. cool.
vintage women = wore more clothing
modern women= less clothing
oh and more natural?

Miley Cyrus anyone?
This thread fails to make a valid argument. The pictures above make the comparison between models of different ages, not the common woman.
All women are sexy (well, in mean of time, some may not be whatever the time they're from)
women are attractive if they're in the right (or no) clothes. I don't care from what time it is.

My intent wasnt to say certain women are better than others, it was asking what YOU think about vintage women from an earlier era. Pretty much why I bolded the last part.

not to mention her face, yuck!
Jessica Alba is like the only hot modern day female. And oh, Scarlett Johansson and Sarah Chalke. Megan Fox looks fucking disgusting.
Photoshop + Makeup = Makes them look better.
All the modern women are rather skinny and have small tits.
