Your moment of Zen: "jeans on a fuller rear-end bottom-half mannequin"
‘J. Lo butt form’
The company launched a “Sex” mannequin with “a larger booty and body” tailored for fashion label Express and for stores carrying lower-end trend clothing, said Critchfield.

On the juniors’ floor of Macy’s in Manhattan, Guess jeans and streetwear label EckoRed display jeans on a fuller rear-end bottom-half mannequin, known as a pants form, opposite a large poster of J.Lo and her clothing label, while a DJ mixes hip hop and reggae to teen and 20-something shoppers.

6. I would think that a flare leg would be more flattering
than a straight leg for a fuller rear end, but I'm no fashion icon. :shrug:

2. Unfortunate as it sounds at first,
us guys who like a big shapely butt are thrilled beyond compare.....

But I guess that makes me sexist....

But you know what, I like curves, period.

Everyone shuld try to find their healthiest body. If that means there are a few extra pounds here and there, as compared to the twiggy model, so be it....

5. I have dated/lived with woman
who are obsessed with this skinny ideal that still persists.

Women, especially, are bombarded daily with how over weight our country is, how unhealthy we are and images of skeletons selling people a sense of beauty....

All you need to do is look at Lindsey Lohan and Hllary Duff to know this is a problem....

From voluptuous young ladies to stick figures.....

7. Well when I was a kid "Barbie" was the ideal
I haven't met a "natual" woman who ever looked like a Barbie. You're right we have bought a bill of goods. Unfortunate. Thanks, from all of us "regular" women.

8. Next they can work on the fact that most women's legs aren't that long.

10. I had a great time. Thanks for asking. I made it to work somehow.
I forgot some (like you) are so tall. I always wanted to be tall. I am petite, but I'd trade my petite frame any day for some long legs. :)

11. Looks like you have to learn to walk and stick your ass out at the
same time, if you're a normally built woman. :shrug:

I see back-pain in 1 hr.
