“The Dark Ages gradually ended six centuries ago with the Renaissance, which seeded new ideas for a different world. The Renaissance ideal dominated our culture until three centuries ago, from the 14th to the 18th century, when it was superseded by modernism. Not surprisingly, this human ideal has almost been forgotten in our culture. The Renaissance, literally "re-birth", was a revival and rediscovery of classical Greek and Roman culture following the decline of culture, trade, and technology…

was portrayed on the silver screen, was most know for being the first sex symbol in the 1950’s. Monroe made herself into the most iconic woman in history by promoting an on-screen style that seemed natural. Her American sweet heart face and sexy hourglass physique made her the ideal movie star.

The history of fashion can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century but I have chosen to write about the 20th-21st century. There are two basic modern fashion categories Haute Couture and Ready to Wear. The difference between Haute couture and Ready to wear is that Haute Couture is custom made whereas ready to wear clothing is made in big bundles of the same thing. Haute Couture is French for ‘high sewing’ or ‘high dressmaking’ or ‘high fashion’. Haute Couture is exclusive custom…

In other words Brenna Ehrlich explains it as women with an hourglass figure tells men they are single and are ready to mingle, and/or ready to birth a healthy child. Men today still look for a woman with a larger butt along with many other features. The ideal image that everyone gets at from all the…

Character traits are extremely important in novels; they affect the way the reader feels about each of the characters. Authors will often give the protagonists positive and relatable character traits so that the reader will feel emotionally invested in the characters. The antagonist will usually have negative character traits to build up dislike so that the reader will root for the protagonist. Character traits in a book often drive the plot and lead to the climax. Without defining and…

thus can have less difficulty in getting pregnant (Buss, p. 56). Therefore, the ratio is an accurate indicator of women’s reproductive status. Similarly, another major finding relevant to body shape is that men in general prefer women having an hourglass shape, because curvy figures demonstrate high level of female reproductive hormones (His and Hers, p. 97). As a result, both Buss and Perrett’s research can be added together to highlight the importance of physical beauty in signalling…

In the 20’s curves and the hourglass figure went off trend and the ‘beanpole’ look came in.

I knelt beside my bed, hands pressed together, praying for the Gods make my parents death quick and painless. I wanted my parents death so intensely, so long had I dreamed of this day. It may seem selfish of me to be asking for this, but it had been nearly four years since I'd set foot beyond these walls and my patience had long since worn thin. I did not asked to be born cursed. It was simply the fate I had been given and I blamed no one, not even the goddess Cailleach Bheur who placed this…
