A thread about Teri Hatcher reminded me of what I consider one of her best features – her hips. They’re smooth and rolling and lead quite naturally to where they’re supposed to lead to. Let’s face it, some women have hips that REALLY look great peeking out from between a halter-top and low-riding jeans. The kind of hips that look like they were made with somebody using a compass, a French curve and a very dirty mind. The kind of hips that lead naturally to a nicely rounded butt … and we all know where that can lead to … One other candidate:[Christina Aguilera](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/img/human/christina-aguilera-chaps.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.talisman.org/~erlkonig/img/human/&h=545&w=290&sz=54&tbnid=mnFypuOHjB8J:&tbnh=130&tbnw=69&hl=en&start=46&prev=/images%3Fq%3DChristina%2BAguilera%26start%3D40%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN) ---

I read once of a study where pollsters determined that young men tended to look at the bosom, but as they got older (i.e, child-siring age), their focus shifted to hips and buttocks. That is, to characteristics that made for easier birth. Amazing how much human behavior is firmware. ---

That is, to characteristics that made for easier birth. Amazing how much human behavior is firmware. This could explain why men’s magazine stick to curvy women, while fashion mags for women tend to go for the lollipops (i.e., women whose heads seem huge because their bodies are so tiny and skinny).Men are just not wired for the lollipops. ---

When you get older, you realize boobs are just a good place to start, but all the good stuff is down in hip-land, if you know what I mean. ---

Yeah, those hip bones linked above are nice and all, but I prefer hips with a little bit of meat on them, like [Salma Hayek’s](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2888/Events/2888/SalmaHayek_Kambo_4548913_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Hayek,%20Salma) or [Kate Winslet’s](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/2638/Events/2638/KateWinsle_Kambo_3823550_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Winslet,%20Kate). ---
