Models and film stars were often described as having the perfect 'vital statistics'. We never hear of that now, do we?
Surely that has to be a good thing! When talking about male film stars, they didn't state their vital statistics: 42, 34, 3"
When I first married, aged 19, my waist measured a little over 20" (hubbie could get his hands around my waist) and when I married the second time (late 30s) my waist measured 22" - but did it make any difference to me as a person? No! I've never understood what the fascination of all that was about.
