It’s summer in the modern age, and that means that I’ve been seeing more scantily clad bodies poolside, at the checkout stand, and on TV than I could possibly count. Got me thinking, does anyone have a “perfect” body? I work with a board-certified plastic surgeon whose New Jersey and Philadelphia liposuctionpatients aren’t looking to be the next Gisselle or Jessica Alba – they just want to look their personal best. But paging through my girlfriend’s latest issue of Allure, I was honestly surprised to see how many of the women in the ads and in the features all pretty much had the same size 2, 5′8″ frame.
What do you think? The sad reality is that there just aren’t a whole lot of different body styles to choose from in the celebrity world, so I’m having a pretty hard time coming up with a range of beautiful bodies. Here are some women I think are attractive, from my (completely unscientific and unverified) guess about who’s skinniest to who’s, well, the most voluptuous.
- Jennifer Garner
- Jennifer Aniston
- Jenna Fischer (The Office)
- Scarlett Johansen
- Halle Berry
Now I know that every one of these women is way thinner than the average American. And I’ll be the first to say that I would love to see more “average” bodies in the media. The fact is that pin-up girls back in the 1940s and 50s were much curvier than women today, and I would bet that most guys still prefer that look. The vast majority of the women choosing a Philadelphia liposuction procedure are not trying to look super skinny – they just want that smooth and sexy body contour that helps them feel confident and feminine.
I think there are plenty of curvier, sexier women out there, but Hollywood has a long-standing bias. So when will the pendulum start to swing? And who do you think has the most beautiful body?
Matt,
Great post. Two things:
1. We get it… you’ve got a girlfriend
2. Is “paging through your girlfriend’s Allure” a euphemism?
Why don’t you post some pictures of you paging through your girlfriend’s Allure?
Just so you know, while you’re wasting your free time looking at Cosmo, Glamour and Today’s Arizona Woman, real men like me are looking at the pictures in The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated and ESPN… THE Magazine.
Anyway, hottest bod?
Terrell Owens.
OK, so it appears that “Michael” is all about tracking down massive amounts of beefcake with a side order of stud muffins. Which is A-OK. I guess there are different ways of looking at “fantasy” football.
And it actually makes me realize that I was very biased in only focusing on the female form. So bring it on folks, male…female…everything in between – who knocks your socks off?
p.s. I wonder what my girlfriend would have to say about this? I guess I’ll have to ask her when we commute home today. Me and my girlfriend, that is. Girlfriend.
I think that Jenna Fischer has the best body among the three. I mean, have you seen her in The Office. She looks gorgeous. If I was that beautiful all the guys in my office would be falling head over heels for me.
