Right then. Oh, and apparently all this is only about women. Men, you may continue to have modern, hoiked-up ice-cream scoop boobs.
“The new version is not so much natural, as faux-natural. It may not be hoicked, but it is certainly perky.”
“Look a little close … there is a subtle but significant difference between the 70s boob of the actual 1970s, and the new 70s boob.”
