Clavicle?

What's a clavicle? If you know and you are obsessing over it, then you are apparently at the forefront of fashion's latest trend. Yes, the clavicle is the latest body part that the fashion world has decided women should start obsessing over. What kind of clavicle do you want? Well, definitely not a chubby one (is there such a thing?). Your clavicle should be pronounced with a nicely defined breastbone beneath it (read: you can count the ribs). How do you exercise a clavicle? Beats me. It looks like the only way to get one is to reduce your calorie intake. So, it's not enough to have a perfect body from the chest down; now women must also obsess about the upper chest/neck area. While it is nice that women's fashion is no longer pushing women to "bare it all," I find the obsession with the clavicle further proof of the fashion industry's hypocrisy. Yes, there have been fashion forums with distinguished panelists including Donna Karan and others talking about how models have gotten way too "skinny" and what fashion should do to remedy the problem. Apparently, the remedy is to find a new body part for women to obsess over. So now they are emphasizing a body part that is almost impossible to change unless you are underweight or naturally blessed with a "beautiful clavicle."
