So what does he mean by curvaceous . . . ?
Way back, when I first started Engineering school, before the IBM PC, back when CAD programs where just a twinkle in their mother's eye, we got a kit for drafting class that had a french curve in it. It was a piece of plastic with a continuously varying curve that you could use to draw a curving line between any two points. A smoothly varying curve: to me that's curvaceous. It's a matter of quality, not quantity. A eggshell is curvaceous. Curves are strong (geodesic dome). Curves are aerodynamic. And when you run your fingers, or eyes, over a proper curve, there is a sensation of latent energy. Fat, by contrast, is not curvaceous. Fat is lumpy. I hope he doesn't mean fat . . .
Remember Ego the food critic in Ratatouille? He was a thin foodie, because if it wasn't great he wouldn't eat it.
