Yes, in Queen Christina (1933). > But these days even Marilyn Monroe would be considered too plump. Too plump for what?

Yes, in Queen Christina (1933). > But these days even Marilyn Monroe would be considered too plump. Too plump for what? For today's idea of beauty. She was 37 - 23 - 36 inches, as the Studio claimed. And no silicone! Today girls want to be size 8, or 10 at most.

Of course we all have them. Barbie is built as she is because that's one of many models much sought after, yet rarely achieved. If that's a freak to you I have no objection because there are very many ideals available. Vive la difference! (Apologies for this accentless AmerEnglish keyboard.) Why is Sarah Palin so despised?
