It takes me out that they consider actresses like Monica Bertolucci voluptuous. I think she is hot. The minute an actress puts on just enough weight to still be just under average weight, they make a big deal of it. Then I see movie boards talking about how great actresses like Calista Flockheart of Ally Mc Beal look. I'm not a man, but it seems to me that men should be lusting over Monica more than Calista. It is almost like those that prefer these emaciated women to not really be women, but to provide a legal be to be with someone who resembles young teen.
