Um, I think you got my question wrong. You stated

That's why it's so odd and wrong that the ideal woman now is 14 years old and looks like a starving holocaust victim
and that made me wonder whether the described ideal woman was the ideal of only the fashion world or also of normal people. Because I think most people who don't really care about fashion do not find the high fashion model look attractive, they're more into the look of .. I don't know, Victoria's Secret and that sqimsuit magazine.

And yes, I do think youth is idealized. People panicking over a grey hair, botoxing out their wrinkles .. in this case however I wouldn't define youth as teenager but rather as maybe a 22-year-old .. and slenderness is probably a part of that (toned and convex-but-slim .. by the way I am still talking about normal people's ideal, those who are into health and stuff instead of decadence).
