I don’t even want to think about who you’d get to model Orthodox Jewish lingerie. Maybe Ben Stein is available. ---

Might this be indicative of some deep-seated Jewish association between big gazots and immodesty? In the movie industry - which has, let’s get it out of the way right now, a fundamentally New York Jewish culture - there’s a similar pressure to think of stacked actresses as cheap hos, and a woman can only retain her prestige by going under the knife. Strapping down doesn’t (pardon the expression) cut it. ---

At the risk of taking this debate somewhere I am sure the OP does not want it to go, Orthodox Jews are not the only religious group that enforces “modesty” or “chastity” with a bunc hof rules about the way women need to dress. ---

Okay, so has anybody found any proof photos of Lauren Odes? The ones I have seen are obviously not the gal in the news picture. And can we be sure that’s not Laurie Nodes? ---

True enough, but the issue here really isn’t dress, it’s _body type_. I’ll refrain from making any further speculation about what might be “deep-seatedly” Jewish or not. Not my place. ---

Damn right the Hoff rules. _Baywatch_ was one of the greatest boobfests of all time. But his first name was David not Bunc and his ancestry is German not Jewish. ---
