How did we end up here?

Take a look at this slide show from Vanity Fair, featuring some iconic photos from the publication through the years and ask yourself this: how (and why?) has public perception of "beauty" & attractiveness changed?
Long gone are the days of Cary Grant & Jean Harlow - people who by today's standards wouldn't be considered that good-looking. And yet in their time, they were the pin-ups & heart-throbs.
These days it's botoxed "beauties" that blaze their ways across magazine covers as the ambassadors of attractiveness.
Somewhere, someone made the wrong turn at Albequerque...
