These are not the kind of things one would want to see in one's canning pantry.
There is a display of skeletons from a certain period of history where corsets were all the rage. Like Malibu Musk of the 90's. The skeletons are of the female variety. And their rib cages do not look good. They are a bit bent, a bit brittle. In short, it looks like "beauty is pain" is clearly defined in their bones. But hey, this is what it takes to make it appear that we, the female variety, have no organs! What's that you think you see? Evidence of a stomach, a spleen, a liver? Nonsense.
(The Mutter Museum is a great place to tour, should you ever find yourself in the City of Brotherly Love. Their slogan: "Are you ready to be disturbingly informed?" If you say yes, click on! )
Corsets, are apparently, back. It's called "waist training."
I have heard of dog training.
I have heard of marathon training.
But waist training, I think, results in the above photo.
So, it is with great pleasure I present to you a cartoon reminder that having organs is not so bad.
These princesses, with organs drawn in, are not horrible!
Maybe beauty is having organs, and uncracked ribs and a good belly laugh at the idea of waist training.
