Marilyn Monroe
- Tudball or Svelte Beauty Queen?
She was the apple
of the American Public Eye - but was that apple plump or was it
the perfect
size? Many modern day weight loss gurus would consider
Marilyn Monroe on the plump size based on speculation that she was
a size 14-16. Do you agree? Here are some facts to help
in your decision:
Measurements
of Marilyn Monroe
Weight: varied
from 118 - 140
pounds
Height: About 5'
5"
Measurements: About
36-22-36
Another thing to
consider is that Marilyn Monroe lived in a different era. Clothing
is sized by manufacturers and clothing designers, based on the average
size of 'current individuals'.
In our best guesstimate, Marilyn
was about a size 8-12, depending on whether she purchased her dress at
a high-end store or a low-budget store.
In this current
era of 'Seeking Slimness' society tends to go over
the edge in what should be considered 'acceptably thin', so the
dieter should take that into consideration when setting their weight
loss and fitness goals.
And due to the ever-changing
Clothing Size Wars, perhaps the best gauge for slimness rests its
laurels on actual measurements rather than clothing size. Although
clothing sizes can change - whether manufacturer or designer driven,
it's pretty difficult to change one's actual measurements.
In our Diet Eyes,
Marilyn Monroe was a size perfect! Let's see those hubba-hubba Marilyn Monroe
measurements again:
Weight: 118 - 140
