commonhealth Give us some coverage on the Iran conflict, NPR. Like seriously.

commonhealth Yea and professionally athletes are getting bigger, stronger, faster...

commonhealth That is why they always look so serious cuz they are hungry ...

commonhealth A new study? Someone threw money at THAT?

commonhealth Just don't blame this crap on men. No man desires a twig. Fashion execs push this onto girls.

commonhealth I do love a triangle

commonhealth Can we see the models as they look today? Or listen to how they became anorexic or bulimic so the company could sell underwater?

commonhealth Ham planets have grown progressively fatter as well, healthcare costs went UP!

commonhealth Sad state of affairs just like so many other things in the 21th century

commonhealth Iam a simple man thank god for creating better halfs

commonhealth Corporate stooges buy into this crap. And if one, more GUY comments on how thin=good someone gets their own tapeworm. Get the hell out of women's backsides.

commonhealth Best two words in this tweet: “now-defunct”

commonhealth I am boycotting them and was a VIP Angel.

commonhealth Nobody cares about skinny runway models. Trump just assassinated a high-ranking Iranian and Iraq wants us to pull our forces out of their country. Putin is winning.

commonhealth The more robust ladies could always have their own show.

commonhealth They’re weight decreased in direct proportion to VictoriasSecret relevance and profit.🤔

commonhealth They progressively looked trans. Speak the whole truth! That was the main motive behind the brand. The biggest secret. Victoria used to be Victor. Thanks.

commonhealth If you can’t feel good about yourself because of how other people look, then you have a problem.

commonhealth Likely written by the less attractive. The use of the word 'unattainable' is laughable.

commonhealth And.....?

commonhealth What what about Taylor Swift? She lost another gig!

commonhealth The models had to become thinner because Victoria's Secret's underwear became scantier.

commonhealth Seems like they all 'attained' it.

commonhealth No one likes a FATTY!

commonhealth On the flip side tho thyroid problems are real and can make you a skeleton or a balloon. I went to school with a girl barely 90lbs well into adulthood. How she survived none of us could understand but VS was the only underwear that could fit her. 🤷🏻‍♀️ which sucked Cuz $$$$

commonhealth Deflation. ....a beautiful economic. ...model. ..

commonhealth We all know Victoria's secret was tapeworms.

commonhealth Sucks the show cancelled, I was actually scheduled to perform a xylophone solo on one of the young lady’s rib cage this year.

commonhealth Good riddance to ugly ideas.

commonhealth Fine but how can we blame this on men?

commonhealth i prefer curves

commonhealth There's nothing 'unattainable' about being thin.

commonhealth Thin is not unattainable. Communist countries produce extremely thin people by the millions!

commonhealth

commonhealth At 5' 8' and when I weighed 120 pounds I still refused to shop at Victoria secret because I didn't feel like the clothes were made for women with an actual bum and boobs.
