What Are All The Women Without Curves?

I love how you’re trying to embrace the body you have instead of changing it into something that’s not part of you. Beautiful.

If you’re on the thin side of the ruler — god knows how many models would kill for a body like yours! Get clothes that “belt up” under the bust, clothes that are human shaped (no bag-like clothing or you might look like you’re going to get lost!) Don’t try the revealing tops because that will just emphasize your small chest. Boat-neck tops are always pretty on thin people with angular bones.

If you’re just a ruler because of it — perhaps straight jeans?

Why We Lack Hair On our Body?

I just learned that the lack of hair on our body compared to other apes is not because we needed sweat effectively (and thus outrun prey in mid day), not because of our aquatic lifestyle, not even because of sexual selection or a couple of other theories, but most likely because of neoteny, also called juvenilization.
