Hi, Everybody,

I always wondered why my ideal female shape, an hourglass figure, seemed so rare.

Now, according to Wikipedia's entry on "Female Body Shape," the hourglass, as I and probably most guys who look at Dimensions, doesn't exist.

The story discusses the:
Apple: a triangle facing downward; big on top. Meaning: Big breasts, skinny butt and thighs.

Pear: Triangle upward; big belly and butt.

Hourglass: Triangles opposing, facing in. Now, here's the part that's controversial for me. The story continues with, "This body type enlarges the arms, chest, hips and rear before other parts, including waist and upper abdomen." Which is to say, yes, big butt, thights and arms, but not big breasts. At least, that's how I interpret this sentence.

Maybe they're right. The only lady I've ever seen in life or pic who was very big all over, but had a relatively small waist, and so was the perfect icon of hourglass-dom, was Happy.

I saw photos of this ideal, "super-hourglass," if you will, one day over 10 years ago in the supermarket checkout counter in a National Enquirer-like tabloid. The beautiful lady was named Happy. The head (title) for the story was something like Eight-Foot-Round Lady Saves Life of 600-Lb Woman," in case anyone remembers.

If I can figure out how to upload the photos, I'll send 'em. Too bad she never modelled. A loss to humanity.

Ladies reading this out there in the ether, if you are blessed with a Happy-like figure, please lemme know!

Sincerely,
wagnerstrauss
