In an earlier post, I write about Kim Kardashian's clinched waistline, where I say:
I think that she does "enhance" her behind, but possibly through exercise and of course by the types of clothes she wears.It is natural for a woman to make herself more attractive. Making one's waist look smaller is no sin. But look at the way Kim Kardashian does it: by exaggerating her hips, which I think are superficially enhanced (through exercise - and surgically?) to look bigger. As well as a clinched waistline, Kardashian's dress is cut close to her body, exaggerating further the smaller waist in relation to the bigger behind. Her exposed breasts add to all these bulging parts, so all we can focus on are the undulations.
On the other hand, Mrs. Bartholomé, the subject of a painting by her husband Albert Bartholomé, about whom I write here, is much more modest. Her dress hangs down her lower body, rather than hugging it tight, like Kardashian's. Her upper body is not only covered, there is the further armor of a large bow to make sure we have no visual access to it.
What we see in the end is a pleasant and feminine woman, wearing a modest dress which nonetheless accentuates her pleasant and feminine curves. There is none of the sexual aggression that Kardashian portrays, forcing us to modestly look away from her brazenness.
