"Love is a matter
of tastes"
So
people say when they do not want to involve into debates or want to escape
discussion,
holding this phrase as a schield protecting their silence. "Love is a matter
of tastes" a beautiful analogue of the first saying when the author is
asked, why he uses as models such plump ladies, the author doesn't know
what to answer. It goes without saying that he asked himself seeking the
answer to this
question.
Not very often was he lucky! First of all, cult statuettes found in southern
steppes came to my mind, the statuettes of so called "Scythian women" -
goddesses of fertility worship of then promised to our ancestors the hopes
for survival. Judging by works of art, subjects of household activities,
cult images.
It's
quite possible to say that fashion working on gregarious instincts and
always ruling over the majority of any society, has been changing.
It's
predictions all the time. Depending on the situation plump, skinny ladies
or even men (as it occures today) could be the object of passion. According
to this wide range of weaknesses, perhaps in the heart of every author
can arise a strong desire to announce his own view against the universal
yelling. Temptation to do so is getting strong because never in the History,
in authors opinion, was there such a mass passion for little "cobwebs",
so, if you permit me, the author will tenderly
call
scinny girls who have very long legs.
Obviously,
this passion we know from advertisement about; the advertisement
whereby
its easier to use "walking clothhangers" than to waste money on adjustment
of clothing, accessories etc. for stouter women, i.e. not to complicate
the life. In this situation magnificent, grandiose shapes of plump women
are deprived of attention, but they doubtless deserve it! Under the judgement
of the author despite of visible dislike on the part of press, Plump women
do not fell
wounded.
It seems that the unbridled propaganda of "cobwebs" promoting pleases
them
because they are consaous of their superiority without excessive advertising.
Probably,
it was not necessary for the author to spend so many words for eulogy of
objects of his attention. Photos that he's attached to the letter, speak
for themselves about his predilections. Formally author went from "Scythian
women", from their resolves and texture.
