According to this blogger, the average female mannequin is 6 ft. tall and wears a size 2-4; the average American woman is 5 ft. 6 in. tall and wears a size 12-14. I cannot understand, in a country where 1/3 of the population is categorized as obese, we continue to worship boyish, pre-pubescent stick-bodies rather than fit, womanly figures.
Thankfully, in Latin America, cultural ideals of beauty are a bit different. This photo was actually taken in Honduras, but we encounter such (sexy) mannequins on a daily basis here in Antigua. As you can see, women in Central America are preferred to be curvier and more feminine with a little...ahem, junk in the trunk? Thank goodness! Cheers to a healthy female body image!
