I think she's gorgeous. She's not super toned, she's not 3% body fat...

She's a bombshell. Opinions?

    Amen...There's a reason men wanted her and women wanted to be her...she is, to me, the epitome of femininity. Lovely. Glowing...even if she wasn't a natural blonde :)

    Her curves were perfection, imo. But still unattainable for most women. She was dramatically hour glass. Most women, no matter what they do, will not have her measurements. Would she be allowed on today's runways? Probably not. But she was a healthy weight and had an exceptionally admirable figure, even today. The whole "she wore a 16" statement I keep hearing irritates me. For one, sizes ran a LOT smaller back then (hello modern vanity sizing). And just look at her measurements. Now way she would be a today's size 16. Most of her clothes had to be custom because of her unusual measurements.

    All that being said, she's one of the most beautiful women ever.

    Well a size 16 back then would be a size 6-8 in today's sizes (still not "runway" size as today most runway models are size 0-2)

    She did have a very dramatic hourglass...My measurements aren't far off from hers except for my bust... :(

    Here's a pic of me and the family in front of a 40' tall Marilyn.

    Pretty amazing statue, actually...

    The most celebrated sex icon of the 20th century, confessed to a friend that despite her three husbands and a parade of lovers, she had never had an orgasm.

    I'd rather be me.

    If that's the truth, I must agree.

    Not saying I wanna BE her...I'm saying I admire her physique.

    So, "Joltin' Joe" DiMaggio was more of a "Nudgin' Joe"?

    I think MOST MEN prefer women like this. Yes one can make an argument that not all women can get this way. My point is some tone, some fat, curves, and WOW!

    She's several months pregnant in that photo.

    But, yes, she was beautiful. And would have been a size 2-4 in today's sizes. Not a 12 or 14 or 16 that people claim.

    i would be a lot of money that most men do not prefer her body type.

    She's pretty but I still don't get the hype. While she had a lovely hourglass figure, she's not my ideal. If we're going with her era, I prefer Audrey Hepburn who I think was infinitely more classy.

    And looks aside, Marilyn is definitely not someone I look up to at all. I've watched a few of the movies she starred in and I can't stand her fake voice or fake persona. Mostly all I feel when I hear about her is pity at how tragic her life was.
