True - the "real woman" is in the title of the article. I wanted to try and make sure I didn't personally put down "the runway model body" in my own commentary on the article. I was paper thin growing up as well, and titles like "stick figure" and "totem pole" actually hurt when you eat like a pig but just have a high metabolism to keep up with it.

I do like the dress comparison in general, though. It's one of the reasons I also like watching Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. He puts each woman's body through a computer and shows what styles work with their bodies and what styles don't.

I think you would look awesome in Beckham's dress, btw. ;)
