If those are accurate stats for Marilyn Monroe, she was much smaller than average, and a very nice shape.

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..

MM was of average height, with a below average waist and an above average bust.

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.
