I once read a journalist who went to interview India Knight describe her as 'marvellously galleon-like'.

(Obviousy was in Knight's pre-diet era.)

I guess that just means 'fat as all get out but rich enough to make it look langourous and glam as opposed to morbidly obese'.

I'm definitely mature (43) , brunette ( with a little help from garnier ) and curvy ( a 16-18 and 5ft6").

Talking of "hung" - the new series of that name looks like it's going to be great.

Is there a size requirement to be able to define "well hung"?

I've never head a man referred to as a brunette though.

Does curvy really mean fat? I've always taken it to be a euphemism for busty.

I'm definitely not busty! barely a b cup.
I am very hourglass though, which is curvy.
