Men's taste in women has changed dramatically over the past half-century, shifting away from girls with curves and big breasts towards the androgynous and the skinny.
The assertion comes from two psychoanalysts who pored over every Playboy from December 1953 and calculated the body mass index of every centrefold. Over 577 issues, the models became taller and their waist increased, while their hips became narrower and their bust became smaller. If Playboy is any guide, the needle on the male sexual compass has switched from Marilyn Monroe to Eva Herzigova, the scientists say.

I'll be happy to perform an inspection to determine if the mountains are man made.

Is it OK to Like Both Skinny and Small Breated AND Curvy with Big Breasts?
I'm not picky, really...

Over 577 issues, the models became taller and their waist increased, while their hips became narrower and their bust became smaller and Hefner became older and more satiated.

I remember when she turned 60, Sophia did a layout and interview with Vogue Magazine. The wardrobe department had brought in racks and racks of clothes for Sophia to try on and wear for the shoot. Sophia said in her interview that after trying on 4 racks of clothes, nothing fit her correctly....that designers make clothes for boys not women. I will never forget her quote to her interviewer while trying on clothes....she threw the clothes out of her dressing room and said...."I cannot wear these clothes.....they are flawed!!!" :o
This is why she has all her clothes designed for her by her tailor of over 40 years.
The final photo shoot consisted of her wearing just a mink coat while laying on a chaise lounge.......

Absolutely right!
To: kAcknor
When you consider how those pictures pushed the limits of publicly acceptable sexuality in their time, and constrast that with how much more public sexuality society is willing to accept today, you've got to wonder how much further we can decline before we hit rock bottom with our collective smut obsession.
