You know those How-beauty-standards-changed-in-the-21st-Century and Women’s-hairstyles-in-the-21st-century type videos that have been floating about endlessly? Ones like this?

Body types through the ages. Lingerie through the ages. Hell, even men’s beauty ideals through the ages. Cut Video was doing it, BuzzFeed was doing it, Mode was doing it, and then we lost track.
