Why cavemen liked curvy cavewomen...like Kylie 09/03/07 By Martin Evans
THERE are a few exceptions which will always stand out, but most female stars yearn for a diminutive derriere.
However, it appears that the small and slender bottom is very much a recent trend after an archaeological discovery revealed how Stone Age pin-ups were far from size zero.
Ancient carvings depicting the female form 15,000 years ago reveal that prehistoric women were revered for their curvaceous bodies and prominent buttocks.
The most popular were the cave-dwellers’ equivalents of Kylie Minogue (pictured), whose renowned behind is the world’s most popular posterior.
Historians claim that the carvings – found at a site in Poland – reveal how curvy bottoms were regarded as the most attractive physical trait for women in Stone Age Europe.
Men looking for a mate ignored skinnier women and fought for females with the shapeliest behinds.

Fat bottomed girls don't have plague.
For a long time I've been expecting the reemergence of the Rubenesque full figured woman as the ideal as a reaction to the twin horrors of drug abuse and aids. I think this was a large part of Anna Nicole Smith's original appeal. Of course, we see how well that has worked out.
I've read analysis that says the reason being a "redneck" was a negative trait, meaning people with a tan or even a sunburn from exposure to the sun, was because that meant those people were manual laborers, while pale skin indicated people who were wealthy enough not to do manual labor. Now the anorexic (though tanned) look is held up as the ideal for much the same reason, as only wealthy people are presumed to have the funds to go to a gym and work out or lie on the beach at St. Tropez (or in a tanning salon).
Makes sense to me. A woman with a bit more meat on her bones likely was perceived to be better able to bear children, and survive to raise them, than her skinny sister cavedweller.
Her figure would never be popular in today's world of anorexic females with plastic body parts.
"All you see, I owe to spaghetti."
ugly feminists trying to revise history so as to render themselves more "date-able".
Adam considered Eve a total babe compared with whom?
I think this got posted - then pulled.
I get the idea she was a 10.
In a field of 1.
BOOKbump
Why pulled? someone take it too far afield? I originally found the article at FOX news, maybe someone posted the whole article and not the excerpt.
I can see the headline on The Star now:
Sophia's Spaghettti Horror!
Studio execs frantic as buxom bombshell loses battle of the bulge!
;)
Bitterness? I just plain don't know how to ping it and at the time I posted I forgot what the ping list was called. ;) Senior moment thing.
I couldn't add any more words either.
Just out of curiosity, who is Kylie Minogue? What is she "known" for??
Ok ladies, eat more spaghetti.
Do you do requests?
She's a singer from Australia.

Thanks - a little heavy on the makeup, looks like she applies it with a shovel.
I didn't mean bitterness about pinging the GGG list. It was in reference to the "MY family" remark. LOL (ducking)
Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Claudia Cardinale, Ursula Andress... the golden age of luscious, curvy screen sirens!
