Now I have never been a fan of Betty Grable, however one can't help but to know of her famous million dollar legs. Personally I prefer Ginger's legs to Betty's. Yesterday I happened to read a blurb about Betty having 19 inch thighs. Out of mad curiosity, I made my friend Alicia get me her measuring tape so I could check mine. I am 21 inches. I tried to find info on Ginger's legs but couldn't find anything. I suppose there is no real point to this post other than my interest in her 19" legs.
I don't want to talk about my measurement.
ReplyDeleteDid you measure it though?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you re: Ginger. They look longer and leaner.
ReplyDeleteJust grabbed my tape to measure....
ReplyDeleteOoof! I think I need to add some more miles to my running.
Ginger has awesome legs! I always thought Betty had the better hair, she didn't have long, lean dancer legs like Ginger.
Rachelle... That is what I like too. I know a lot of people like fuller legs, but I like slim shapely legs. Like her dancer legs.
ReplyDeleteLucky Dame... I hear ya! I probably should be eating these York Peppermint Patties then! I need to get back to a nice early morning exercise routine. I've just been lazy... LOL As far as Betty and Ginger's hair, I am the opposite. I think Betty had some of the worst styles of anyone. And Ginger had some of the best (day styles). I say day meaning every day styles, not glamazon styles.
Isan't it strange you never think about a certain part,or size of your body until some draws it to attention...Just measured mine their also 19inches...Trouble is now I will be measuring here there and every where!!! Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteGingeyGinge... Hahaha it is so true! And the weird thing is if they said Katie Holmes has 19 inch thighs I would have cared less, but because it is Grable, from an era I admire, I was all over it! You're lucky! 19inch thighs! I wouldn't mind slimming mine down a bit! Worse yet is in a book or magazine I have from back when, (I'll have to find it again) it says something along the lines of yourwrist should be half the size of your neck, and your neck should be half the size of your waist or something to that effect. I am glad I forgot the exact equation to that or I would be obsessing over it!
ReplyDeleteoh wow if I could only think about 19 inch thighs ha ha! Oh my goodness I would be quite a freak if my neck was half the size of my current waist size, it wouldn't be a good look ;o)
ReplyDeleteginger's legs are nicer by the mile! :)
ReplyDeleteSTM Hahaha My neck too!! I would look like a body builder, but without the muscles! Hah! Ew I just measured my neck and it is 13.
ReplyDeletegarofit Absolutely! I dated a guy once and we used to get into arguments about it. He was in love with Betty Grable. And looking at his ex and his current gal, my guess is that he prefers the thicker meatier thighs. So we used to enjoy arguing over Betty and Ginger. :-D
Betty has shapeless, stumpy legs. Ginger does not.
ReplyDeleteTayva... Grub knees.
ReplyDeletemine are 19 1/2 never thought to measure my thighs before LOL
ReplyDeleteGot too late into the debate, but I do have to put in a good word for Carole Lombard's legs. They were very underrated.
ReplyDeleteI find Ginger never seemed to rely on nylons to help......didnt have to. I agree with Betty's legs being stumpy.....she was stumpy. Gingers whole body and face was outstanding....and her personality along with being the best female dancer of her day iced the cake.The girl who was Charlie's partner on the last dancing With the Stars....he was the Olympic Skater....well the pro partner is a modern day Ginger (opinion).....absolutely stunning.
