Even Carly had curves!

So after catching a bit of The Grammy's the other night. I realized that Beyoncé actually has some curves.

Now Howard was complaining that she was fat yesterday and I just couldn't disagree more.

I'm really rather sick of girls and women who seem to want to have the physiques of 11-year-old boys.

I'm finding that the "Golden Age of Hollywood" female form, regardless of how fake and propagandist it is, is really what I find attractive on a woman.

Lauren Bacall had it. Rita Hayworth had it. Betty Grable (above) had it. Ann Miller had it.

Many others had it.

There's some T. There's some A. And quite frankly... it is all woman!

Now I'm not implying there's anything wrong with being skinny or even plump if that's where your body tends to be. I mean, I live my life in a constant battle with the size of my gut and ass!

But the pop culture of the late 1960s gave us the almost emaciated girl as the standard and for 30 years girls and women have been way too heavily influenced by it. (Though Audry Hepburn, while skinny, totally had it in a different way!)

I demand curves on my women dammit!

Though I'd like 'em to be as sultry as Grace Kelly in Rear Window too!

Man did she ooze the sult!

We want them to look like Bettie Page, and they think we want them to look like Amy Winehouse.

And we end up looking like Delta Burke.
