Marilyn M's Size 14 is a ludicrous piece of folklore that won't die. I've heard it repeated scornfully by women who were "bigger" than MM in every dimension and themselves smaller than a size 14 (the real point of the canard, after all). One of them considered my adoration of her twin-peach posterior utterly inconceievable and confided to me one day that she accepted the childhood nickname Bubblebutt. She was built like one of my two favorite Poser femmes, BH's free Angelina of the Soft Guitar (a V2 morph if I remember correctly).

The "British sizes" explanation for "Size 14" is the only one I've seen that makes any sense.  And I find it interesting that the only picture that really looks like MM in BH's post is the last one, where what changes is not just the superficial (the hair color), but the confidence and self-regard in the smile. The other pictures are someone pretending to be MM. The last one is her being Marilyn.

There are many prettier women than MM (not including Page, IMO), and many healthier bodies than hers (maybe including Page). And a chorus line of wannabes and self-anointed heirs, but only one Marilyn, who was not a body or a personality or even, I think, a person, but a new way of being female, one that our porn-craving prudery despised and rejected.
