Cover to Cover

We all know that beauty standards have changed over time. Our (by our I mean American society) definition of beauty has gone from healthy looking women portrayed tastefully to sexy, near naked, very thin anorexic looking women. I have included some images from Vogue Magazine covers from 1932 when they used their first photo to their latest issue December 2009.

This is the evolution of Vogue:
