    Because it is true...

    Marilyn Monroe weighed around 155 in Some like it Hot lol - and she was almost exactly my height. No one said she was tubby - She was a voluptuous, round and obviously an adult female with actual hips and butt. http://imdb.com/name/nm0000054/bio

    She died the year I was born. Note her official measurements.

    Note the pictures from the movie - http://imdb.com/title/tt0053291/photogallery

    and most especially this one. http://imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1307/Mptv/1307/3733_0056.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0053291
