I wish that was true as a whole, but no. Sure, there were those that knew a good thing when they saw it, but overall the sentiment towards curves through the eighties was not positive, hence 1992's Baby Got Back. "Oh, my, god. Look at her butt." The shift really took hold with that J.Lo Vanity Fair shoot and everyone thirsting like crazy.

I will go as far as saying that J.Lo and Ricky Martin also kicked off a huge interest/acceptance in latin people in popular culture.

I don't think Freddie Mercury was into the type of women he was singing about.
