Some people think a girl who wears a size 12 or 14 dress is overweight – Lucille Ball was that size, and she never looked overweight to me.
I don’t believe that’s possible. She looks more like a size 2 or 4. I’m a size 4 for anyone who wondered and she looks thinner than me. I think you mean Marilyn Monroe and even she looks thinner than that. “
Interjection, I just looked it up for confirmation. Lucille Ball was indeed a size 12. Vivian Vance was about 10 lbs. heavier, but made to look frumpier, so she would look much heavier than Lucy.
No one would look at Lucille Ball and think she was fat. But by our foolish standards today, she most certainly would be considered to be un-shidduch worthy (by weight alone), were a shadchan to be asked to redt her a shidduch. That, IMO is beyond sick.
