Yup, Rhadin. I read somewhere that Marilyn Munroe would be diagnosed as clinically obese these days. Read somewhere else that the Queen of Sheba must have weighed in at around 300 pounds to have been considered remarkably attractive in her era and region.
Might use my fantasy time machine to pay MM a visit, but Her Royal Highness Queen of Sheba, I'd pass on.
Revisiting intriguing women? Interesting ... I think I'd like to have hung out a little with my late grandmother (nothing naughty, you understand, just good pals) when she was a mightily educated but rebellious and militant feminist flapper back in the early twenties. Apologies thread purists that she wasn't a fictional character. She just seemed to act like she could have been.
Cheers. Neil
