Janet Jackson invented thickness

[Larry Lambo]

1986. Slim frames where the accepted ideal. Curves were cool and round butt on a small frame was attractive, but weighing more than 127 pounds was considered a flaw.

Then this video drops.



Pedestrian by today's standards, but back then it was revolutionary. In a land where light skinned model type chicks Vanessa Williams and Pebbles were the symbols of black female beauty, a short stubby (but obviously pretty) Janet Jackson convince mainstream Black America that thick was ideal.

It took white people 15 years to finally catch up and make the same epiphany with J-Lo.
