Move over thin. You're no longer in.

...that's right, because an adjective that was reserved for lashes and "curves" looks like it's getting its day in the sun.

Last week, New York Magazine dissected the New, New Face, a burgeoning Hollywood staple that's all about plumped, but not too ballooned, features as opposed to the taut, tightened E.T. lifts of the 80s. A little fill here by the eyes and a little plump there around the pout and you've got your self an A-List fache.

Then there's the latest Harper's Bazaar. In addition to all the usual beauty at any age features the style bible has an interview with the style-setting creator of the controversial Zoe-Bot. But what is absolutely amazing is that the super skinny stylist allowed herself to be plumped up to—gasp—a size eight. The results are a prettier, healthier looking version of the bangled Bravo reality neophyte.

It seems as these days, thick is it.

girl, you gotta learn to spell better. it's should be its, to should be too, taught - taut, your self - yourself. Really hard to take you seriously with typos all over the place. you need a good editor.
