What you don't see is that her arms are likely longer than yours..

I've stood next to her; her arms aren't longer than mine (that would be a bit difficult - my size approaches that of Charles Barkley). She's about as tall as my younger sister, and has a few more curves than your average supermodel (and VS model for that matter). My point is that all the VS models don't fit the "Kate Moss-Calista Flockhart-please-feed-me" mode that many models are in.

With many of them, I could agree with you. Most of 'em could use a Crisco-IV pumping pure fat into their veins. But there are some who actually look like "real" women; Tyra Banks among 'em.

Are there other actresses/musicians/models/et.al. that I find sexier than Tyra? Absolutely. (Lisa Nicole Carson is absolutely incredible, and she could never be mistaken for "small") But Tyra's pretty easy on the eyes as far as I'm concerned.

Tyra Banks is beautiful.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

The proportions I work from involve head size (once she closes her jaw, dropped slackly for the photo to simulate lust) compared to width of shoulder--that's how I know her arms are long, because her head is small in proportion to arms and shoulders, just like the average male. As for your size, my term of "likely" comes from average male height, which is around five-nine. As you are above average height for a male, you've just demonstrated my point.

A cartoonist, say, that draws females for an action comic book, draws on proportions and exaggerates them for effect. In many ways, these gals are cartoonish. That our standards of what means "beautiful" these days are changing is a matter of interest when a woman considered beautiful has classic masculine proportions (with the barest minimus of adipose tissue added).
