    ^ I love Bettie too. She has had quite a life!

    I think Marilyn Monroe is great. BTW, by today's standards, she was "fat". She had huge feet too.

    Well, then...by today's standards, I like "fat" women.

    If you're not Marilyn's size...then eat a cheesecake! WHEEEEE! I'll bring it and share!

    I never really got the pinup stuff, although I can appreciate the classics - Sophia Loren in "Boy on a Dolphin," Raquel Welch in "One Million Years BC," and Farrah Fawcett in a red swimsuit or whatever she had on.

    I like this picture, though. Not that I could put it up in the office or anything. And I don't even know who she is.

    Yowzah. When you look like that, you don't need a face.

    Hehe.... do you think we'd have to strap this one down to get her to eat cheesecake?

    Believe it or not, I like the lighting and the form and the art involved in the photography. With the double lighting on her, the illuminated opposite sides of her form make her look more slender than she already is. However, if you check out her right upper arm, she does have some tonality there, which I don't think would be present in an anorexic model.

    I don't wanna see her face - I like it just the way it is.

    a woman of marilyn's build certainly isn't gracing any covers of Vogue today, but that woman was far from fat by any standards! a size 16, yes, but thats a 40-50's 16. i buy a lot of vintage clothing and in her era i wear 12s and 14s, today i am a size zero to two. regardless, i'd kill for her figure! she had an absurdly small waist...something like 23 inches....swoon.

    its funny how the beauty standard has changed. people's bodies are getting larger and larger (and feet getting bigger too), yet the standard is not growing proportionately, its even getting smaller and even less realistic. weird.

    anyway, following are my fav. pinups of the moment (both anonymous):

    Norma Jeane Mortenson (AKA Marilyn Monroe):

    Height: 5 feet 5 1/2 inches
    Weight: 140 lbs.
    Measurements: 37-23-36 (Studio's Claim); 35-22-35 (Dressmaker's Claim)

    That was according to marilynmonroe.com

    Snopes had a nice article on the subject too:

    Claim: Marilyn Monroe wore a size 16 dress.

    Status: Not exactly.

    Examples:

    [Columbus Dispatch, 2000]
    Actress/Estee Lauder spokesmodel Elizabeth Hurley was recently named "Babe of the Century'' in some poll. This apparently caused her to lose her senses, because she went on to gratuitously dump on Marilyn Monroe — who's hardly in a position to defend herself. Hurley says that the screen legend was overweight, peaking at a dress size of 16. "I've always thought Marilyn Monroe looked fabulous, but I'd kill myself if I was that fat,'' Hurley told Allure magazine in an amazingly tactless moment . . . "I went to see her clothes in the exhibition, and I wanted to take a tape measure and measure what her hips were. (laughter) She was very big."



    [Phoenix Gazette, 1996]

    "I'm more sexy than Pamela Lee or whoever else they've got out [in Hollywood] these days. Marilyn Monroe was a Size 16. That says it all." — Roseanne.



    Origins: The
    fascination with this "fact" about Marilyn Monroe's dress size is not its literal truthfulness per se, but the implication it carries: that our standards of feminine pulchritude have become so extreme that the woman who has been idolized as the world's premier sex symbol for half a century would be considered "chunky" or even "fat" by modern standards. (Conversely, some of today's celebrities seem to be fond of invoking the "fact" that Marilyn wore a size 16 dress as a means of asserting that they themselves are, if not thin, in better shape than the renowned Marilyn Monroe was.) Marilyn may (at times) have been a little heavier than today's ultra-svelte models, but the notion that she was "fat" (even by today's standards) is based on misinformation or misunderstanding.


    The claim about Marilyn's dress size is difficult to prove or disprove, both because of a lack of information and because of the number of ambiguities it engenders:





    • Like most women, Marilyn Monroe experienced weight fluctuations as she aged, became pregnant, and went through cycles of weight gain and dieting, and so she would not have worn any one dress size, but a range of different dress sizes.
    • The standards for women's dress sizes have not remained constant over the years; they have changed as the size and shape of the average woman has changed. (Clothing manufacturers assume most women don't want to wear clothing of a size identified as "Large," for example, so they adjust their sizing so that the average-sized woman takes a "Medium." If the size of the average woman has increased a bit over the years, then the very same size that was a "Large" fifty years ago might be a "Medium" today. This is sort of what has happened to women's dress sizes since the 1940s: a woman who weighs more now than she did twenty years ago might actually be wearing a smaller dress size today.)
    • A person's overall physical contours can't necessarily be determined from a piece of his clothing. A very tall and skinny man might have to buy pants with a waist size larger than he needed in order to get the correct length of inseam, for example, and therefore inferences about his weight based solely on the waist size of his pants would probably be inaccurate. Likewise, a woman whose bust, waist, or hip measurements were unusually large or small (such as a woman with an acclaimed "hourglass" figure) might have to buy a size of dress that was not reflective of her "overall" size. (Even examining the clothing Marilyn wore in her heyday wouldn't necessarily answer the question about her dress size, since her outfits were custom-made by studio dressmakers and therefore didn't bear size tags or hew to standard industry dimensions.)
    • Reliable documentary evidence is tough to come by for this sort of thing. Doctors might record a patient's height and weight, but not her dress size or measurements; other citings of Ms. Monroe's size are difficult to take at face value, as their sources (e.g., studio publicity shops) are known more for exaggeration and puffery than accuracy. Additionally, weight and other size measurements are mere snapshots: a mature person's height is unlikely to change significantly, but the other numbers can vary quite a bit over time.
    So, what can we say with any certainty? We can at least establish a range of measurements for Marilyn Monroe based on the available sources:

    Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches Weight: 118-140 pounds Bust: 35-37 inches Waist: 22-23 inches Hips: 35-36 inches Bra size:36D

    A woman of Marilyn's height, at the extreme of Marilyn's weight range (140 lbs), would probably wear a size 12 dress today (which is the same dress size listed for Marilyn in the book The Unabridged Marilyn). Perhaps at one time she did wear dresses that might have been considered size 16 (or even 1 back in the 1950s, but she almost certainly did not wear dresses equivalent to today's size 16. This is borne out by citings such as the following (which might also be a source of some confusion, as a British size 16 would be the equivalent of an American size 12):



    [The Times, 1994] Even the 1950s mannequin does not have a totally unattainable figure. She has a wasplike waist, but her shoulders and hips are femininely broad. She resembles that universal sexual icon, Marilyn Monroe a dress of whose was recently auctioned and found to be a British size 16.

    Perhaps we should end by pointing out that although Elizabeth Hurley is a bit taller (about 3½ inches) than Marilyn Monroe, her measurements and weight are similar to the figures reported for Ms. Monroe. And while Marilyn was not considered "fat" in her time (nor would she be today), Roseanne, on the other hand . . .




    But what I figure is, estimating an average for her claimed sizes... she was larger than I am in the bewbs, smaller than I am in the waist, and smaller than I am in the hips. I'm a 36B-27-37.

    I like Bettie Page the most--I get so many compliments from people at work saying that I look like her. They say that I have the same facial structure, body type, etc. When I looked like a crackhead, I never received such compliments!


    I absolutely love hourglass figures. Just the name "hourglass figure" emulates pure femininity.

    I have a few Bettie Page videos that I bought for Stripper Con-Ed. If anyone would like to grab them pm me. I'd love to trade them for Carmen Electra or Fawnia Videos or DVD.
