From this thread, I've learned:
- Women who carry extra weight, almost always carry it as well as the model on the right.
- DC women who are walking around at a size 12-16 actually think they look like the woman on the right.
- Women posting on this thread seem to have no idea that Salma Hayek, Sofia Vergara, JLo, Shakira, et al, are actually (by American standards) seriously tiny women. Those celebrities probably each weigh between 115-120. The average American woman tips the scales at 166, which is the same size the average man was in 1960. These curvy celebrities are genuinely curvy women (due to their proportions), but they are still extremely thin by American standards. They only look "thick" because you see them on a red carpet next to anorexic waifs with narrow hips and smaller breast implants. I guarantee you, all these women on this thread bragging about how great their curves look absolutely nothing like their celebrity role models.
