Well, I posted this, I thought, but it's not there, so ...

Succulent bosoms, indeed, PeterT! In the meantime, we have Twiggy, who started it all, and Callista Flock (Aly McBeal), who prepetuates the stick twig look, along with others, being held up as idols of women's bodies. AArrgghhh!

On a serious note, there is Susan Weed's book, Menopausal Years, the Wise Woman Way, in which she says it is dangerous for women around 45 and up to lose a lot of weight because they need the "padding" to protect their bones, keep them healthy and from breaking if they fall.

So...Long Live Rubenesque and all sizes in between! And, PeterT, too!
