Curious here: how tall was she?
About 5-6. Very pretty but too little for my tastes.
I'm a size 14 and 5'4". I'm shorter than Marilyn but, like her, have some cushion for the pushin'. :wink:
MM never struck me as chubby or anything, but she was no athlete. Modern female athletes often have a sort of a cut look from trying to take evey possible excess pound off and that is less than attractive in most cases, nonetheless it was not always that way.
Did you get a look at the picture of Katie Sandwina which I posted above? She was one of the strongest women ever to live, about 6-1, 225 or thereabouts, and count put 300 lbs on a bar and do military presses with it, and from the one picture at least, was very far from being unattractive.
