Is there a reason she's dressed as an amazon? Beyond the thirst-trap?

The original article that went with the picture spoke of "a new race of amazons" and calls the woman on the right, "Diana", which may be a reference to Wonder Woman (AKA Diana, Princess of the Amazons).
- Or the Latin name for Artemis.
  But where are they? I need to know... so I can avoid them...
- This article is a perfect example of linear extrapolating.. They were like "huh, when you feed people a balanced diet with proper nutrition, they get 3 or 4 inches taller. This trend will obviously continue until people are 10 feet tall in a few generations."
Wonder Woman was created in 1941. I assume this comic was created in the 1950's based on the dates.
Only connection I can think of.
- Greek mythology is actually older than Marvel comics.
Fashion is cyclical
A better question - is there a reason women today do not dress as amazons?

Those were lies :( where giant women?

Damn, if only

Interesting how it says "authorities" not "experts"

Well it's likely short for "authorities on the subject", i.e. experts.

My mom is apparently the prophesied one, she is 6’2”.

They were on to something though.

Definitely not 6 foot. But yes I do exceed size 11... by quite a large margin 😅

...am I a 2000s gal?

6' ~ 1.82m

A bit tall for average height

They weren't as far off as one might think. If everyone had a standard of living growing up that scaled with trends at the time, women would probably be taller than they actually are.

When I was 5' 11" and starting college as an honors student, I was shocked that most women in the program were around my height or taller, while the men were all taller than me. I think it was mostly because the other honors students came from well off families that pushed them to have high GPAs, made them eat healthy as they grew, and gave them every other possible advantage. Honestly, they didn't seem much smarter than many other students I later met. They mostly had privileged upbringings.

I’m so close to the prophesied one. But really it’s my mom that was the leap. Grandma is tiny, mom was nearly my size.

Less gooo! that's what I have been waiting for that's what it's allabout !!!
