she's built like a woman. hips thighs and breast is not"BIG AND BEAUTIFUL" its just natural and beautiful. she's not built like a 11 year old boy which is what the "fashion" industry likes. i want a woman who looks like a real woman

[sashmiller93]

Now THIS woman can be considered regular sized. Other 'plus size' videos pretend that the women they feature are 'curvy' or 'normal-sized' but they are actually FAT. FAT in every sense of it. When will women realize being FAT is just as bad as being a skeletor?

@Lagash1973 thank u

[jtrfpl]

@tigereyes5 yeah, i don't think i said anything about boys with vagina. i like thandie newton and think she is very attractive. the point i was making is that women with curves and shape are now made to feel ugly by the fashion world whom cater to women with no shape at all. it's not right.

[Lagash1973]

@jtrfpl Great post! Totally agree with ya! Bravo! :)

I do understand sizes. Queen L may be a lot bigger than a UK 18, and I underestimated that, but the what I was trying to impress is that you're seeing MM as bigger than she actually was. You can convert US sizes to UK by adding 4, which would make a US 14 a UK 18. The important stats are the measurements. MM with 35" hips is not obese today. Again, is Scar Jo considered obese in the US? You didn't answer that.

[LisaBaby67]

@LisaBaby67 In fact, I just looked it up. According to the web, Queen L wears a size 34. So I guess that's nowhere near a 14 after all.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 I don't think you do understand the sizes. Not at all. If you think Queen Latifah is a size 14, you're mistaken.

@LisaBaby67

The question was rhetorical. I know how the size system works and A US 14 IS a UK 18, which is bigger than what Christina Hendricks would wear. In any case, my point is less about retail sizes and more that MM was not a big woman. She was around the same size as Scarlett Johansson. Are women Scar Jo's size considered obese in America? Is the woman in Gentleman Prefer Blonds someone that people associate with obesity? I don't think so.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 Why do you keep asking me about UK sizes? How would I know? And no, a size 14 isn't huge. It's NOT Queen L's size, I can guarantee that. I can't guess her size, but it's bigger than a 14. And yes, according to standards in America now, MM would be considered obese. Size 12 (which is very normal, not obese) is now considered a plus size in America. If you need size conversions, Google them.

@LisaBaby67

Isn't a US 14 the equivalent of a UK 18? That's like Queen Latifah's size. 35" back then is the same as it is now and it is only 1" bigger than the hips of the average model that is 5" taller than Monroe. Yes high fashion models wouldn't have legs like hers but some like Bar Rafaeli are roughly the same size as Monroe and their' bodies are now used for swimwear.

No she wouldn't be considered obese now. Standards are extreme but not that much.

[LisaBaby67]

@tigereyes5 So? She was a size 14 in American sizes. Nowadays she would be considered obese. Look at the legs on those sex symbols back then. No model would be caught dead like that today.
