She wasn’t smaller than average..she was average..today..where girls get boob jobs for a HS graduation present..our senses have become conditioned to inflated bosoms..
Those actually are not the same proportions when height and weight increase by the same ratio. To take an extreme, think about a 6' tall man at 200 pounds, and a 3' tall child at 100 pounds. The adult may be reasonably proportioned, while the child is severely obese. The correct proportionate weight for Nida Agdal to match Marilyn Monroe's shape would be roughly 138 pounds at 5' 9" tall (1.0615^3 * 115 . . . actually not quite true for technical reasons; 134 pounds is a better match, but in either case, Nina is proportionately significantly slimmer).
weight should increase by the square of the height. If they were proportional, the taller model should weight about 132 pounds.
When baby got back, baby gots to wear granny panties.
Pass
Maybe weight should increase proportional to the cube? No time to think about it now.
Think of it like this: a bust to waist ratio of 35:22 is 1.6, vs. the average ratio which was 33:24.5 or 1.35.
That's a 20% variance in the ratio which, to a normal male observer is . . . eye-catching.
Ladies, you are not “curvy”. The Sports Illustrated models are curvy. The Victories Secret models are curvy. You are fat.

A bit of fat on a woman is normal, healthy, and highly attractive.
Perfection! Aaaah!
Jessica Biel! Heh
True. Even with the rolls and ripples photoshopped out, they are still just just overweight.
When they are that skinny, their curves come from a surgeon and a good photoshop artist.
These are nothing if not three dimensional calculations.
The variable here is the bust, for which MM was proportionately larger.
If Agdal had that, she would still probably be 7lbs or so underweight compared to MM.
Beats counting sheep by a mile!
On the same topic..if you can find a copy of "Boccaccio 70" the scene with Anita Ekberg is juts plain awesome...

I agree. I am all for fat shaming.
No, when they talk about "plus size", these days, THIS is what they mean:
These women are clinically obese.
I agree. A size 12 is considered plus size and that is the average size of most women.
the square of the root is inversely proportional to the angle of the dangle ...
