Looking beautiful vs feeling healthy

For a perfect woman's body, there seems to be a new "standard": iPhone 6 legs and 100-yuan wrists.

Six women working for a company reportedly coined the term iPhone 6 legs. It means placing the 13.8-centimeter-long iPhone 6 horizontally on a woman's knees, and only if it covers both knees can she be said to have iPhone 6 legs. The term 100-yuan wrist refers to wrapping a woman's wrist with a 100-yuan note. If the banknote encircles the wrist, she has a 100-yuan wrist.

The so-called beauty standard has gone viral online. A rough search of hashtag #iPhone 6 legs on Sina Weibo, a popular micro-blogging site in China, threw up hundreds of thousands of posts from young girls gleefully displaying their slim legs for their "success" or with despairing looks for their failure to meet the "standard".
