New 90210 Cast Shows Body Ideals Change

The girls from the new 90210 are thin...and I mean REALLY thin.  It's funny looking back on the remake of a show that was done well so many years ago, to see how the body ideals have changed in today's day and age.  A post over at Big Fat Deal, sums it up nicely.

It is absolutely striking to note how different the young women cast in the roles in the 2008 version of 90210 look than their predecessors in 1990... Notice how the bodies of the 1990s females in the cast are proportioned. They have hips, wider thighs, vaguely pronounced muscles and heads that appear to belong on top of their bodies. By the standards of 1990, these actresses were thin and pretty.

Without the aid of Photoshop (which was released just after the first 90210 episode aired), these young women - “ old as they looked to audiences at the time - “ probably would have looked ridiculous decked out in the clothing we see on the stars of the new 90210. They would not have been good for the consumerist, fashion-fetish aspect of the program at all.
