we're talking american skinny, not russian skinny here[/quote]

What is Russian skinny? Skinnier than the rich women here? [/quote]

I lived there for six years.  Russian skinny is MUCH skinnier than American skinny: long, graceful bodies that are naturally quite thin, but the ones who marry oligarchs and minor business men diet to become even slimmer, and they take plastic surgery to a whole new level: the Botox is meant to be strong and visible, and they like their giant filled lips as big as possible, to the point that looked cartoonish to us.  My dh once picked up ds at the international school and then announced that the oligarch wives who were waiting for their kids all looked like they were wearing those huge wax lips we used to get as kids around Halloween.  Those women's bodies look great forever, but their faces age at a shocking rate, probably due to the fact that smoking is almost universal among them and they drink a lot.  However, you also see a lot of normal (ie, poor) Russian women walking around the city, and many of them have enviable slim bodies (natural, but also enhanced by smoking).  Of course there are plenty of fat Russian women too, but there does seem to be that naturally thin body type that is more common there.  Russian men in general become chubby and drink a LOT, which is why they die so much sooner than Russian women, and also why Russian women who want to marry a man who isn't quite so much of an alcoholic as the drunk who smacked her mother around need to remain hot to compete over the relatively few good marriage prospects available.

You must be talking about the first wave of the rich in Russia.  The look you describe is quite passe these days.  It's called "the delight of the villagers".  Although in general, we Russians are much more decorative and appearance-oriented than Western women, the currently favored look among the rich is that of effortless beauty: little makeup, amazing bodies, long hair, athleisure, beautiful skin.

I must also correct you on the subject of Russian men.  The marriage market in Russia is exactly the same as everywhere else: there are enough men for all the women but only a small segment of men are super-desirable to most women.  Therefore, what they mean by "shortage of men" is really the "shortage of super-desirable men".  On drinking, WHO places Russia in total (unrecorded+recorded) alcohol consumption as #19 in the world - that is, behind Germany, Nigeria, Ireland, France, Portugal and a few others.  The secret to the "Russian skinny" look, likewise, is the same as everywhere - small portions and movement.  Culturally, portion sizes there are much smaller than in the US, and body size follows.
