The
American high school girls are already obsessed by this new beauty
trend, the 'thigh gap'. A 'thigh gap' is a small space between the
inner thigh. You also can say that the upper thighs can't touch each
other when you're standing straight up with your legs next to each
other. Spotted on the catwalk and now a beauty ideal under young
teens. The bigger the gap, the better.
On
social media you can clearly see how serious this girls strive for a
'thigh gap'. As disciplined top athletes they train there but of,
taking diet pills and some are even on baby nutrition. On the Tumblr
page: fuckyeahtighgap.tumblr.com you can find a photo collection of
models/girls with a 'thigh gap' and then you start wondering if this
is healthy. The subscription of the blog calls:
