Having swollen lips like a scalpel, losing weight until you have space between your legs to walk like a mannequin or being able to hide your waist behind a sheet of A4 paper… so many dangerous and viral challenges which, in the age of the internet, spread rapidly on social networks, and bring together a huge proportion of teenagers. The latter then learn “body bashing”:the intolerance of defects, the culture of beauty, the hyper-sexualization of the body, which are advocated among other things by the current dictates of the fashion world. And here is the latest of this type of dangerous and destructive tendencies (which can be as much for the mind as for the body):the ab crack. An abdominal slot, in itself, which accompanies concrete abs. A physical detail specific to some (and we insist on some!) high-level sportswomen, or other models. Like actress Emily Ratajkowksi, who has a number of assets and who many teenage girls and young women dream of looking like…
The top, revealed to the general public by her topless performance in the sulphurous clip of Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke Blurred Lines released in 2013, is the sad ambassador of this new phenomenon. As evidenced by one of her recent Instagram posts, on which she seems (according to the legend) to present her favorite swimsuit, but which, alas, only serves (and will only serve) as a model for future pro-ab cracks.
Frankly, we hope that this trend will quickly disappear. Because if some naturally very thin people suddenly have this physical characteristic, we must not forget that this is not the case for the greatest number of women. So, next!
