How to fake a "thigh gap"

http://www.upworthy.com/if-you-need-an-example-of-how-silly-our-standards-have-gotten-for-how-women-look-ta-da-2?c=upw1

I try not to pay attention to body-shaming BS for my own sanity, but I just learned about a trend pressuring women and girls to have a gap between their thighs, and it really caught me off-guard. (Haven't heard of it? Lucky you!) What's next? Obsessions with perfectly round freckles? Super wrinkly elbows?

Thank goodness for satire because without it ... well, just hopeless tears and frustrated head-shaking, I guess. This tutorial makes a great point about how ridiculous this "ideal" is, plus it's friggin' hilarious.

Not only was she an empath ("I sense hostility,Captain" ... "Deanna, they're Romulans ...&quot but according to one lady I know she was an android because "you could flip a soup bowl through her thigh gap"
