Those models look a hell of a lot healthier and saner than the eating-disordered, current ones, don´t they?  

For what I hear, pornography today has no suggestiveness left.

and this is one story where we definitely won't demand sources ;-)

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Absolutely, todays models not only look malnourished, but also have a bad posture and look as if they are in a progressed state of osteoporosis.

Fashion models and erotic models are still two different things. As wiki says:

Female body shape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feminists criticise the excessive emphasis on body shape as part of women's self-image in Western society, and contend that a voluptuous body shape is more typical of real women in the West than the ideal pushed by some parts of the Western media through depictions of extremely thin actresses and fashion models. However, in media made predominantly by and for heterosexual men, such as video games, comic books, sports entertainment, or pornography, a more buxom and curvaceous female ideal is portrayed, one that is more in line with the sexual desires of men than those seen in the fashion or beauty industries.


The busty ideal existing in the hetero male subculture causes its own, different pathologies (mainly: breast enlargement).
