Look at lainie's post above...Marilyn Monroe was 5'5 1/2 and 140 lbs (at her heaviest). So, I guess that bears out that MM would be considered 'obese' by todays flights of fashion (ie., gay men who want to make women look like 12 year old boys). Marilyn would be, ahem, a size 14. I rest my case.
I'm not picking on you for your comment but it keeps coming up on this thread. Not everyone that thinks Marilyn Monroe was fat is a gay man who likes 12 year old boys. Many normal men like myself and even great men like Ronald Reagan like thin women. By no means would I consider Marilyn Monroe an icon of beauty, at one point yes, but that may have been prior to breast augmentation when her attributes were rare.
