Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Genevieve Morton and Megan Avalon represent variations of "sexiest women." But what I find a bit troublesome is that people and media stars like former ESPN Personality Dan Patrick, of The Dan Patrick Show (of which I'm a fan), push one kind of beauty: the skinny kind, as represented by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models, Genevieve Morton (photo at left) and Brooklyn Decker.
Now, both Genevieve and Brooklyn are very lovely, but today, hotness is in the curves. Like the hips of that excellent business woman Kim Kardashian, who just posed for W Magazine.
Kardashian says that photo shoot, featuring her naked body painted silver up to the neck (at right), is the last nude one she will ever do.
Don't believe it.
Kim's physical combo of curves and just the right amount of muscle (not to mention a booty that just will not quit) is a show-stopper. As long as she can work it for eyeballs and bucks, she's going to show it - nude.
Even if it's years later, Kim's going to want to show everyone that she's still got it at 40. Just wait.
But Kim's excellent proof that curves are in, and that's true for her royal hotness Beyonce. The modern queen of Hip Hop is the dream of every young boy who's aware of sex. As much as Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue flies off the shelves even in an era largely hostile to print magazines, just put Beyonce on the cover and see what happens.
She's not skinny.
Why do some persist in showing a look most often associated with eating disorders? Especially when we have female bodybuilders like my friend Megan Avalon.
Megan (photo at right) calls herself "Barbie With Muscles," and can just as easily grace Sports Illustrated as Genevieve Morton and Brooklyn Decker can.
Plus, she looks like the female bodybuilder she is, and in an attractive way.
Megan makes it OK to be a strong woman. She's not using steroids, has a normal female voice that's great for television, and she stops traffic.
If the Dan Patrick's of the World would stop pushing a classic white male view of beauty where skinny chics are pushed on us, they would help advance society in the direction of appreciating the curvy, strong, confident woman. (Which, I wonder if Dan Patrick fears?)
Plus, if Dan comes around, he can encourage Genevieve Morton and Brooklyn Decker to add some muscle and get arms like Kelly Ripa, Jillian Michaels, and Ms. Avalon. The end result will be to tell young women they don't have to literally starve themselves to death to look great for men.
Achieving that objective would be a major achievement for America.
