Hispanics As the Beauty Ideal

[Ben Kenobi]

Here's one clean shot I found with Norma Jean.

Imran:

Of course, I have a handicap by what I am allowed to post .

Look at it this way, she never would have become Marilyn without first being Norma Jean. So which would you rather have? The real person or the picture?

Information about the importance of symmetry in beauty can be found in the link.

John T:

Agreed. Another example of cross-cultural beauty norms is the waist to hip ratio. I got credit for a paper writing about beauty norms in first year.

Some stuff is not subjective, but the most important characteristics are subjective.

In response to Albert's OP, note that different women are used in different situations - blondes are "more fun" so they are used in commercials, shows, etc where relaxation and fun is the order of the day. Brunettes, however, tend to appear more often as professionals and mothers.

Here is hot "professional", Jill Hennessy....

Seeing that I'd never be able to get close to the real person IRL, I'll take the picture .

Where is the ad exec, Ming, when you need him .

[JohnT]

He's also supposed to be a SF buff, but he never appears in the novel threads.... perhaps the "Ming" persona is just a ruse?!?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes, maybe he's just a robot programmed for MarkG's evil desires.

Why the hell is she in a giant hemorhoidal donut?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Because people... like... donuts? Duh .

[JohnT]

WTF is a hemmorhoidal donut, and how do YOU know what one is???

[Ben Kenobi]

Still sure?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yes, obiwan... 100% sure! You could post every picture you could find, but you ain't changing my mind. Marilyn is hotter as a blond to me!

[Bereta_Eder]

phallocratic greek saying by men with big mustaches (or without mustaches but old brains nevertheless): blondes for fun, brunettes for marriage.

[Ben Kenobi]

Well I can think of worse ways to spend an evening then googling for Marilyn Monroe pictures.

BTW

Jill Hennesy is in an inner tube.
