Secret of shapely legs revealed

    Since half of women reportedly hate their legs, plastic surgeons have defined the perfect pair of pins — long with the bones in a straight line from thigh to slim ankle, the outline curving out and in at key points.
    According to researchers, straight and slender legs are considered attractive because they combine fragility and strength. Using data from sources as diverse as Leonardo da Vinci, Greek statues and even Barbie dolls, they analysed legs widely accepted as the most attractive in the western world.
    The primary requirement for beautiful legs, says the study, is straight bones, a line going through the top of the thigh, the middle of the knee joint, and the middle of the ankle joint. However, straightness alone is not enough — on the inside of the leg, the calf needs to have a well-defined convex curve, short, but pronounced, say researchers.
