Ah Marilyn Monroe, a vision of beauty and sexiness, the ultimate beloved icon!
And yet, she might as well be the Lady Short Legs, or at least the pin up for Lady Short Legs. By today's standards she is indeed considered short legged and plump, however she is nevertheless still adored. In this article the writer speaks of "Monroe's unruly breasts, her wide bottom, short legs, cellulite-dappled thighs and rounded, womanly stomach" I find the article a bit vulgar, nonetheless we can take pride in having the body of one of the most desired women of modern time.

It's such a sad state we live in now, that Elizabeth Hurley would say "If I were as fat as Marilyn Monroe, I'd kill myself". She was never really fat, maybe thick? But she looks no fatter than average now, and her face is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the short legs add to her feminine look. She wouldn't have been Marilyn Monroe without them!
Wow, I never realized Marilyn had short legs in proportion to her torso! It's amazing that people would find her unattractive--shows how times have changed. Anyway, yes, she is definitely a Lady Short Legs but she was a beautiful one at that. If only I had her proportions, maybe I'd feel even half as self-assured as she always seemed to come across as being!
ReplyDeleteDid Elizabeth Hurley say that? Well, Liz might not be fat, but she's another candidate for this blog. She's quite tall, about 5'8" I believe, but she has short legs. I remember some one referring to her high street legs that could do with another couple of inches. Not sure if she has a long torso though.
ReplyDeleteshort legs indeed. you know who else surprisingly has short legs/long torso? megan fox! take a look:

What do you think, LadyShortLegs?
Yes that comment by Elizabeth is pretty sick.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, lots and lots of comments regarding Megan Fox and her proportions. Thanks ladies, I will post about her.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't Megan Fox a bit like Liz Hurley, shortish legs, but not a hugely long torso either?
ReplyDeleteummm. her torso is rather long:

I don't want to skim over any more questionable-type pics of her via Google, but she (Megan Fox) doesn't seem to have short legs in my opinion. Am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteI think LadyShortLegs should make a post about her so people can "debate" about it there. Don't forget that this is a post about Marilyn Monroe and not Megan Fox.
ReplyDeleteGood point! And, all things considered, I think Marilyn Monroe was better-looking than Megan Fox any day of the week. ;)

ReplyDeleteHer weight fluctuated over the years in which she was in movies. I thought she looked great in all. But, I sort liked her best in those super young pictures with darker blonde hair. Funny that she's considered to have short legs when I think she's got great proportions and not short legs at all. With so many boob jobs now, it kind of takes away from those women who have a natural large bosom. And simply a beautiful doe eyed face.

I apologize to LSL for muddying up her blog, but I thought a comment here was aimed at something I said. And I was so very angry at comments in BR2 and misplaced them here.

Funny article. "A woman, any woman, not even a movie star, with her body shape today would be told to embark on a bikini diet, and sharpish".
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and pay money for all that. Sometimes I feel that someone is damn interested in the situation in which women feel more unhappy about themselves. Plastic surgeons and owners of cosmetic companies become millionaires.
When i read this paper I felt like both the author and Elisabeth Hurley have complexes about themselves. Especially the latter, like most models... They are so unhappy about themselves that always try to put somebody else down. Like 'Oh, Monroe was fat and ugly, and I'm slim and leggy". Though in reality she looks much worse and is not even 1% as famous as Monroe.
Well said, livingthings85!
ReplyDelete>>Like 'Oh, Monroe was fat and ugly, and I'm slim and leggy".<<
ReplyDeleteLiz Hurley is most certainly NOT leggy!
Her legs are short for her overall height and alos quite chunky.
ReplyDelete"Liz Hurley is most certainly NOT leggy! "
ReplyDeleteNot as famous, not as sexy, and even not leggy... :)))
hey I think that Courtney Cox has short legs
