Edit - Gah, Joltguy beat me to it. But still!

The ones on the list that didn't get it naturally should be excluded.

I only see one anyhow.

Actually Pam looked better before she inflated her ... assets.
But still, God bless any gal who doesn't have it and takes steps to get it.

OAW · Jun 1, 2005, 01:22 PM

Beyonce is without a doubt the truth. A straight up "hour glass" figure. Live ... not Memorex. And ridiculously fine on top of that. While there are other "Hollywood" actresses who have just as much if not more curves than her, she is a good choice for a list like this because she is more well known across the board.

All I know is when that guy Simon from American Idol supposedly said she couldn't sing and didn't have a great body he must have been having a "Look Ma ... I'm on crack!" moment. Either that or he was suffering from a case of temporary insanity.

Agreed

Yes, because being superficial is important.

I see a trend here.

Or he was just being the attention whore he is.

xi_hyperon · Jun 1, 2005, 02:23 PM

I don't see Angelina Jolie on this list. She ranks as curvy in my book.

ReggieX · Jun 1, 2005, 02:35 PM

Where's Megan?

wdlove · Jun 1, 2005, 02:42 PM

Top CURVE

RAILhead · Jun 1, 2005, 02:51 PM

Good lord, she has a HUGE arse and no calves whatsoever. THUMBSDOWN for Bennie -- even though she's from Houston.

JHromadka · Jun 1, 2005, 03:11 PM

I don't think you ready for this jelly

KeyLimePi · Jun 1, 2005, 03:15 PM

Oh she's natural, alright. Naturally petite. Seriously, 'eye of the beholder' and all, but curviest? With no push-up bra or retouching her eyes are the roundest feature above the waist.

OAW · Jun 1, 2005, 04:25 PM

And you say that like it's a bad thing!

Not surprising though. I am admittedly making an assumption (though likely a safe one) regarding your ethnicity, but it has been my observation that most white guys tend to be more boob focused while most black guys tend to be more focused on the "pretty brown round". Hence, the explosion of the breast enhancement industry as more and more white women (especially in the entertainment business) inflated their boobs because there were plenty of white guys who went for that look. Whereas you see a lot less of that (though it is certainly not unheard of) among black women because they know that if you have a pretty face and a nice round butt they will get plenty of attention from the brothers. And even if they had an average face they could still get plenty of suitors if the butt was sensational.

Of course, there are exceptions but this does appear to be the case much of the time. For instance, check out Kenya Moore (1993 Miss USA ... second African-American winner) on the cover of Smooth Magazine (think Maxim for the brothers) ... it's the second cover from the top.

http://www.smoothmag.com/backissues/

Now a lot, if not most white guys would say her butt is too big ... some might even go so far as to say she is "fat" ... whereas most brothers would say she is walking perfection (she does have a matching set of boobs to boot). She's definitely more curvy than Beyonce all around ... but she's not as well known. And you can best believe she wasn't rocking that much a*s when she was competing in pageants because in most of those she was going against mainly white competition and subject to a standard of beauty (i.e. tall and skinny) set predominantly by white judges. This is why it is so difficult for a most black women to break into high fashion, or runway modeling, or even ballet because they are constantly under pressure to lose the butts that they naturally have and essentially be dark version of a European standard of beauty. A standard that is unrealistic even for most white women hence the chronic problem of eating disorders in those industries. Even the venerable Tyra Banks has said that she's basically given up runway modeling (except for the occasional Victoria Secret show) because she got tired of trying to lose the butt she naturally has to appease the show directors.

So like I said, most brothers would say that a Beyonce or a Kenya Moore or even a Serena Williams have sensational butts .... while most, though not all white guys would likely disagree. And OTOH, most brothers would look at a Paris Hilton or a Cameron Diaz or a Charlize Theron and go "meh" when it came to their figures (even though they may find them pretty in the face) ... whereas most, though not all white guys think they are some of the hottest chicks walking. So I suppose beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Now that I've taken the time to check out some pics of everyone on the list that I didn't know offhand, I wondering how all of the following are on the list ...

2. Penelope Cruz
7. Scarlett Johansson
9. Debra Messing
10. Kate Winslet

I'm sorry. But all of these chicks are definitely on the skinny side. Now having said that, how is Britney Spears or for heaven's sake Salma Hayek not on this list?

Randman · Jun 1, 2005, 05:32 PM

Don't know about Messing but the other three all fit in for curvy.

Shakira needs to make a movie appearance just so she can win that list every year. Nobody beats her when it comes to curves, especially when she starts swinging her hips. Yum

Cipher13 · Jun 2, 2005, 02:29 AM

Beyonce Knowles has a fat ass.

I really don't understand the appeal. Oh well.

Only 3 types of girls that matter:

BoB = Big Ole Bootey
BoBBy = Big Ole Bouncey Bootey
BoBBY B= Big Ole Bouncey Bootey AND Boobs

toothpick skinnies go away!

KeyLimePi · Jun 2, 2005, 07:38 AM

Apparently the poll was published in 'In Touch' magazine. Never heard of it.

I did find this little quiz, which was odd.

Yea I gotta say I hope that Debra Messing was a typo for Megan Mullally. Debra is easy on the eyes, but Megan has got the curves

OAW · Jun 2, 2005, 02:03 PM

I attempted to break it down in my second post but I'll try to make it a little more plain here. There are some guys that prefer a woman who actually has these things called hips. Whereas other guys prefer a woman who is about as straight up and down as they are. There are some guys that prefer a woman who actually has some thickness and shape to her thighs. While other guys prefer a woman with very slim thighs that are often no bigger than her calves. And last but definitely not least, there are some guys that prefer a woman who has some roundness to her ass ... so that if she stood with her back against a wall her lower back doesn't touch it ... so that if she put on a thong the string actually disappears! And other guys just uh ..... don't.

RAILhead · Jun 2, 2005, 02:23 PM

Yeah, add me to the list of guys that like skinny white chicks -- that's the line I'll stand in. Don't get me wrong: I like curves, but I prefer the curves on a woman's calf muscle to a fat, round side of butt.

Not at all. I have certainly never said that anywhere in this thread. Besides, the comment you replied to was one I made in response to Cipher who had said he didn't understand the appeal of Beyonce's ass. A specific response to a specific statement. It's this thing called context.
