spiral Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I've always loved her shoulders: how wide and sculpted and shapely they are. Fascinating; nobody else is like that. Favorite body all around? Probably Niki Taylor. But Yasmeen is up there: That's an interesting choice. I think that's the first time I've seen someone choose Niki. Niki really did have a great body. Usually when people talk about the supers with the best bodies, they choose either Helena Christensen, or Stephanie Seymour, or Claudia Schiffer. They all have nice T&A. But when it comes to actual body shape, Yasmeen trumps them all. An hourglass shape is a rare natural occurrence, and it's even rarer to see it on a thin woman. Atelier Versace, S/S 1991 Quote

But when it comes to actual body shape, Yasmeen trumps them all. An hourglass shape is a rare natural occurrence, and it's even rarer to see it on a thin woman.Niki, at least early on, had that thrillingly rare, almost impossible combination of being tall (5'11'), slender, and leggy, yet at the same time curvy, with narrow waist and full hips and full breasts (32D). All of her proportions are, at least to me, perfect - what Barbie only wishes she could be. That said, there are lots of fabulous body types, and Yasmeen is one of them. All of these women have great bodies. Helena had a great body, for sure, but she's probably not one of my topmost favorites. Stephanie is great too, but her appeal is more her cool sexiness . Claudia always seemed too much like a Bardot knockoff to me - for big-breasted blondes (BBB's) I much prefer Laetitia, even though she was hardly leggy.Yasmeen did have wide hips, and I always loved them. One thing I noticed about Yasmeen's shots in VS was that they almost always had her wearing some kind of wrap around her waist. I think she was regarded by them as being too wide-hipped, and they wanted to hide/distract from that. Even her few SI shots mostly don't show her hips in their entirety. I know neither of us would agree with such a Philistine judgment! Quote
spiral Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Escada ads I hope these are not reposts. I searched for the word Escada in this thread, but these particular ads did not come up. The importance of labeling pictures. Quote
justwastingtime Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 <_< <_< <_<She has Christy-type hair in the first several of those. I think I prefer that look on Christy, but I like Yasmeen in practically any hairstyle Quote
