Sadly again, LMAO.
Shapely legs on that Rivers sculpture? WTF! Maybe to a anorexic tofu eater.
Maybe his young daugters as this guy filmed them nude, but they are most definitely feminine only to some artsy or fashion metrosexual. No curves at all except from the pumps, that aint sexy. Eat a burger aned work out some, sheeesh. And we wonder why our younth are so deluded and except for those in athletics, anorexic or given up and gone fat. Twisted. Unhealthy. And defintely NOT sexy or shapely. Except to a perv Humbert Humbert type.
