Yeah, me with the hourglass figure as well. I also am in the possession of a ridiculously large chest, which it is impossible to find bras to fit in regular stores. I haven't had a bra that really fits me in years. I just can't afford it!
I've also noticed something, as the sizes are "vanity reduced"--women are getting fatter as the sizes get sized up. In Supersize Me someone made the observation as well that in cultures where the ideal is very thin, the women conversely battle with weight more. I haven't looked at any of the statistics on this, but it's an interesting concept.
I myself have had the curious sensation of "overeating because I want so desperately to lose weight."
