Ideal body sizes for women (in the UK)

October 24, 2008 @ 10:32 am

Fabulous Magazine in the UK conducted a national survey where they asked men and women to describe their ideal body size. The differences were quite dramatic between the two genders with men leaning toward a more voluptuous body shape and women wanting a more stick-like figure. The image above pretty much sums it all up.

I wonder what this image would look like if the same survey was conducted in the US.

The United States Geological Survey, the scientific agency within the United States government that studies the landscape of the U.S. and its natural resources, has a photo library online of their image collection. The photos date back to a time when the U.S. was drastically different than it is now as people then ventured into unknown territory and settled there. Some of the photos date back to the late 1800’s (about the time the USGS was formed).

Go on over there to check out their vast image library with breathtaking photos of the American landscape.
