I read an essay once pointing out that the ideal Playboy girl has a figure that you have, if at all, only at the cusp of puberty/womanhood: large, high breasts, small waist, long slender legs. (Nowadays, of course, you have it at the cusp of plastic surgery; it's pretty standard for Playmates to be in a small spread, spend the money on surgery, and then graduate to Playhood.)
Then again, there was an amazingly stacked woman at the play last night: high, big, unsupported breasts, slender waist, curvy tush. I was envious.

So, um, we're talking Barbie, right?
No wonder I never even tried for the Playmate look.
So, um, we're talking Barbie, right?
Totally. It's no coincidence that one of Hef's favorite models ever (and longtime mistress) was Barbi Benton.
So, like long, coltish legs, this is another thing I managed to completely miss about teenhood? Feh. (I'm irrationally bitter about this.)
eta: talking about the high boobage, not the coltish legs.
Heh. Nope, I never had this. But I've noticed it on my sister (not in the bad way, pervs), who, if asked, will happily bitch about my boobage and her lack thereof. So maybe it's a trade-off.
Yes, but were there whortleberries?
My sister has coltish legs.
Huge boobs though, so she's not that sort either.
There is a preternaturally high boobage I associate only with teenhood (though not all teens, by a long shot), that doesn't seem to make it to the early 20s.
I envy the experiences that went into forming this opinion.
In this interview with John Rhys-Davies, he says
But I can do other things: I can weld, I can turn, I can build. I rebuilt the engine for my Rolls-Royce and there weren't TOO many bits left over.
What does he mean by "I can turn"?
Turn like wood on a lathe (think shaping table legs, for instance).

You know, this increases his sex appeal by like, a hell of a lot.
(Signed, thinks Bob Villa is kinda hot.)
Never had the preternaturally perky boobs, nor coltish legs. I just kept the toddler shape until 11, then the weight shifted up or down. I completely lacked the TV adolescence.
