The Sleepover Club: The Return Of Skinniness & Why Body Types Are Still Treated As Trends


Listen Later

All of a sudden, everybody is very skinny again. From Kim and Khloe Kardashian to the hundreds of models that just walked fashion week in each various city. Body positivity is no longer popular, Taylor Swift is calling herself fat in music videos, and it feels as though we're back in the same media hell scape that engulfed our pre-teen lives at the turn of y2k. This week, Ione and Eden are discussing why its been so easy for celebrity culture to disregard larger bodies, and what impact treating body types as trends has on us long term.
