But the most telling fact about beauty has to do with what is know known as the waist to hip ratio, the circumference of a woman's waist divided by the circumference of her hips. This measurement is a fairly accurate gauge of the hormonal status of a post-pubertal female, and thus her fertility. Etcoff reports the work of Devendra Singh, a psychologist who has found that this number is more important to men than weight or--astoundingly--breast size. Less surprisingly, she reports that Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe had the ideal ratio (.7), as do most contemporary supermodels. ('Top' Duke sororities are probably in this ballpark, too.) A 60 inch hip circumference divided by a 42 inch waist equals a hip-to-waist ratio of .7.
Somehow I think there is more to it than this ratio...

The stars might lie, but the numbers never do.

If you meet a human, let alone a woman, with 60 in hips and 42 in waist...you have found a true anomaly. There's probably surgery involved there.

"I Need A Miracle"
< snip >
...I need a woman 'bout twice my weight
a ton of fun who packs a gun with all her other freight
find her in a sideshow, leave her in L.A.
Ride her like a surfer running on a tidal wave.
And it's real, believe what I say, yeah
just one thing I got to say
I need a miracle every day.
It takes dynamite to get me up
too much of everything is just enough
one more thing I just got to say
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day,
I need a miracle every day, (got to be the only way)
I need a miracle
