“Hey, has anyone seen my golf balls?”

Suspiciously shaped pigeons:

[ID: Three white Brunner Pouters, a breed of fancy pigeon, with one hidden behind with only a leg visible, and another partly visible at the right edge.

They have huge, round crops (an expandable pouch at the throat, for storing food before it enters the stomach), and smooth slender bodies with featherless, vivid red lower legs and feet. They look simultaneously elegant and comical. END ID.]

Thank you to @sleebyshiba for the ID!!

Edwardian Fashion: The S-Bend Silhouette

The curious S-shape figure of the Edwardian woman was achieved by wearing an undergarment invented by a physician in the later part of the 19th century and marketed as a "health corset". The S-bend or straight-front corset sat lower on the body and was characterized by a rounded, forward leaning torso with hips pushed back. It was thought that because this new corset, unlike the Victorian styles, alleviated pressure on the abdomen and internal organs, that it promoted a healthier posture. Unlike many fashion trends in history, it would take several years for the S-bend to become a fashion statement unrelated to health concerns, reaching the height of its popularity between 1904-1905. It was coloquely referred to as the "pouter pigeon" silhouette.

S-bend corset • V & A, London | The look achieved.

Fashion illustrations tended to exaggerate the S-bend silhouette. It's likely that many women achieved a less severe shape while still maintaining a fashionable appearance.

why are they like that

[void-of-unparalled-chaos]

Why are English Pouter pigeons Like That? I know scientifically its because they got screwed over by humans selective breeding like Pugs but why? The poor things look like if Sid from Toy Story took a pigeon, strapped barbie legs onto it, and then made it swallow a balloon. How is this beneficial in any way?
