You know all that talk about the big real estate bubble?  All those predictions about how the prices of housing in the U.S, especially the suburbs of New York and California, reached a peak, and the market is slowly, but surely, crashing?  Well, I have a similar prediction, only it has nothing to do with property.

These days, it's impossible to open up a magazine, or turn on E! without having the image of a super skinny woman thrown in your face.  It seems that over this last decade or so, the expectations for the female body have gotten higher, resulting in a lower body weight, no doubt, a negative correlation.  Honestly, it's beginning to get ridiculous.  We're at a point where a beautiful body is directly correlated to the amount of visible bone.  At some point, very soon, I predict, it's going to hit a breaking point.  Just you wait.

It will start with the death of Victoria Beckham.  In a panic, skinny women everywhere will have nowhere to turn.  Realizing an opportunity for world domination when she sees one, Tyra Banks will step up to the plate.  She will lead the fashionable people of the world (coincidently most likely from New York and California)  to a healthy voluptuous weight.  Through a series of strange dieting and exercise tactics (to increase girth in key places of course), Tyra will be successful in molding a new standard for the female body.  

A massive surplus in self-esteem will emerge.  The average mean body weight will become pretty constant.  Now that all the extremely thin women are gaining weight, especially celebrities, the general "bigger" population will feel motivated as well.  You know when you see that celebrity that actually looks "normal," and you think, "Hey, I could look like that if only I ate one slice less of pizza tonight?"  Women of all personality types and preferences will begin to meet the standards of body image.  This will inevitably result in more guys getting laid, giving a nice boost to their egos as well.  With all these endorphins flying around, people will be happy.  Suicide rates will be practically non-existent. 

Tyra will most likely get a humanitarian award for her work in restoring the nation.  Because the general population will be so thrilled with their new bods, they'll be too busy gettin' busy to realize that Tyra is ruling the world. 

I know this is a lot to take in and is truly terrifying, but brace yourselves, America.
