Since it is a beauty question of top priority, I'm obsessing over the body shape/figure type thing. This retro ad is the height of fabulousness, don't you agree?
Maybe I should warn you, I'm in a mood. I have issues. Whatev.
I so love Ms. Megabra in her girdle mocking me with her head thrown back in laughter. She's saying, "Bwaahahahaha! Don't you wish you had my skinny ass? Just look at my clavicle! You haven't seen your clavicle since 1991! Envy me and my 'average' body!"
Bitch.
Check out the silhouetted chicks. Average, Junior, Straight hip, Full hip, and Stout. I like my body like I like my ale, stout. Sure. Hell, why not?

Synonyms: 1.portly, fleshy. Stout,fat,plump imply corpulence of body. Stout describes a heavily built but usually strong and healthy body: a handsome stout lady. Fat,
an informal word with unpleasant connotations, suggests an unbecoming
fleshy stoutness; it may, however, apply also to a hearty fun-loving
type of stout person: a fat old man; fat and jolly. Plump connotes a pleasing roundness and is often used as a complimentary or euphemistic equivalent for stout, fleshy, etc.: a plump figure attractively dressed. 2.valiant, gallant, intrepid, fearless, indomitable, courageous. 3.obstinate. 5.brawny, sinewy.
That's enough knowledge for today. Why the hell are "fat and jolly" used together all the time? I have never been jolly in my life. Sure, I've been happy. I've been a lot of things and jolly is not one of them. Obstinate is one of the synonyms and I'll take that. From now on my figure type is obstinate.
