Let’s first take a look at what has been circulating for several years, promoted recently by internet “fact” pages. Time magazines definition of a perfect body, in 1955 #ThrowBack pic.twitter.com/9Aty1dHZ1A — Total Woman Crush (@WomanCrushPixs) December 10, 2013 Photo The image which has circulated for several years is a black and white image of porn star Aria Giovanni, who was also Penthouse Pet of the month back in September 2000 and Playboy’s Model of the Day in 2007. The photo actually dates back to around 2004, and was originally in color. The retro style of the photo is likely one reason it has convinced casual readers that it could be from the 1950’s. Several other images from the same photo shoot can be found easily online. @HistoryTabloid @cynaramenezes esta modelo se chama Aria Giovanni, ela nasceu em 1977 ;c) pic.twitter.com/KTlvVeNTga — Barça (@gusbarcelos) January 24, 2015 My word.
