Playboy centerfolds are becoming less shapely

[GePap]

More imortant than size, frankly, is proportion. While I personally agree with monkspider in terms of what body shape I find most attractive, I think the key is to have a well proportioned shape, whether someone is thin or not. The problem with many modern models and so forth is that they are not proportioned correctly, as far as hip v waist v chest goes: and this goes both ways. Someone with a very thin waist and hips but a large chest, due to augmentation, does not look right, in my view.

As for betty: didn't playboy start in 1954? And playboy is getting slaughtered by Maxim and FHM anyway.

Playboy has been suffering from decling subscriptions for a long time anyway.

Competition.

Anyway, Playboy models have become less curvy, but not drastically, just a result of the fitness movement. Certainly not like runway models who look far too much like stick figures. Karen McDougal is still the most beautiful playmate ever imo with Marianne Gravette having the prettiest face.

First, for once and for all: it's Bettie, not betty

And Playboy went downhill from the moment they started showing pubic hair. A real pin-up never ever shows anything down there! Sometimes I wish Vargas was still alive and these were still the 40's...

Karen McDougal

[Berzerker]

YES, Karen McDougal is to be worshipped. A VERY pretty face, a VERY nice rack, beautiful glutes, nice tan, propotionally perfect with just enough hips combined with a physically fit body, and from what I can tell, a nice personality. Strange how so many people like racial purity and discriminate against people of a mixed background, Mc Dougal is Scottish/American Indian I think. So often, the most beautiful women are racially mixed...

[Az]

I don't think that race mixing is set to give out a prettier individual. I think that beauty comes to people regardless of ethnic origin.


Karen IS a gorgeous woman. 'Nuff said. I think everyone will agree.

[Berzerker]

With few exceptions, the most beautiful women I've seen are racially mixed.

You guys are crazy, big bosoms are great.

After awhile, the novelty wears out. Firmness and shape beat size anyday.

Che - Well, it's been three years for me and the lady friend and I am still just as obsessed as ever.

[FrustratedPoet]

Actually, what you prefer is quite likely either:

a) what your mother had
(i.e. first breasts you saw - probably. Oedipus stuff is freaky, but often accurate)

b) what your first girlfriend had
(i.e. first breasts you had any kind of sexual experience with - probably)

Those things can leave a mark on the mind that never goes away.

[monkspider]

I dunno FP, sound reasoning and all but my first girlfriend had remarkably tiny boobs (probably an A cup, no less), and I never lived with my mom.
So maybe this does have to do with my first girlfriend, but instead I feel a need to overcompensate . Who knows.

Anyway, on topic, Playboy is making a ghastly mistake, and hips and breasts are still where it's at.

After twelve years, 38D is . . . well, great, I have to admit.
