http://www.listal.com/list/the-hourglass-figure After being disgusted by the women portrayed in the <b><a href="http://www.listal.com/list/16-skinniest-celebrities">16 skinniest celebrities</a></b> list, I felt inspired to make this list, to celebrate the female curves. I'm talking about the Hourglass Figure, the sexiest figure a woman can ever have. Basically, bust and hips must be almost same size, and waist must be at least 9" less diameter than the top & bottom. According to a recent survey of 6,318 women, only 8.4% of the population fits this bill, my babe being one of them ;-) <a href="http://www.listal.com/viewimage/505802"><img src="http://img.listal.com/image/505802/250full.jpg"></a> So forget about the rest of the shapes - the twigs, the rectangles, the pears, and the triangles. Let's bask in the glory of this list and celebrate these sexy women with killer curves. <img src="http://img.listal.com/image/505803/300full.jpg"> <B>Associated Listal lists:</b> <blockquote>* <B><a href="http://www.listal.com/list/the-queens-of-burlesque">The Queens of Burlesque</b></a> by tartan_skirt</blockquote> <B>External links worth checking out:</b> <blockquote>* <B><a href="http://hourglasswomen.net/">Hourglass Women</b></a></blockquote> en-us GMT GMT Listal.com <a href='http://www.listal.com/person/sophia-loren' title="Sophia Loren"><img src='http://img.listal.com/image/517735/50full.jpg' style="float:left;" /></a><a href="http://www.listal.com/viewimage/506055"><img src="http://img.listal.com/image/506055/490full.jpg"></a> Size 38C-24-38 A mind-blowing Hourglass!
