The Tape Measure

With all the ruckus about the size 16 model in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, I was wondering if it was a warning sign the “ideal perfect woman” was making another shift. This video was up and running on the headlines last week.

I had always heard the perfect measurements were 36-24-36 and the lower half was based on a waist to hip ratio. 36-24-36 waist to hip = .667. In the late 1990s, it appear that a lot of Playboy models were in the 34-24-34 range which is .706. Then we enter into the millennium and a larger booty seems to be chic. Here’s a few examples. What do you guys prefer? I have always thought that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but I ain’t anxious to go back to the tater years of the early 1900s.

By the way, my math skills were learned from the below video (I posted it earlier on the TSCL thread “what’s the square root of 69?”

Jennifer Lopez 34-25-40 = .625
Kate Upton 30G-25-36 = .694
Raquel Welch 37-25-36 = .694 (some sites listed her at 37-23-36 or .638)
Kim Kardashian 34DD-26-40 = .65
Christy Brinkley 36-23-35 = .657
Karen Velez 37E-23-35 (Lee Major’s ex-wife and playboy model) = .657
Charlotte McKinney 34DD-24-34 = .706 (the Superbowl commercial model)

To me, the quality of what she has up top has a lot to do with my perception of a chick’s body but big hooters simply don’t overcompensate for other areas that might lacking.

Watcha Think?
