- In the documentry THE HUNGER WITHIN, the authors of the film claimed the
- average ( arimetic) american female was 5,5 and 155lbs while the average
- american model was 5,11 and 105 0r so lbs. So Cindy is right, she is
- a "short fat blob" compared to her peers!
-
- Personally I dont see her making it as any big breakthrough. To my eyes
- she has the std anmeic looking model's body the only differnce is she
- has large breasts tacked onto them.
-
- Not to say she doesnt have her appeal ( though I like all female body types).
- I enjoyed watching her video just to see her bend, grind, and stretch. I
- didnt take it serious as an exercise video ( as is advised in Shape Mag ).
