BODY CONFIDENCE WEEK (side note): The 'Perfect' Body

What is the perfect body?
Okay, so in my world, an ideal body would consist of Cameron Diaz's arms, Jessica Alba's stomach, Dita Von Teese's waist, Jennifer Aniston's legs, Kim Kardashian's bum and Kelly Brooks chest.
But Littlewoods.com took a survey, asking women all over britain which British women had the best individual body parts. With the results, a computer-generated image was released depicting the 'perfect' bikini body.
Want to see it? Here it is:

The body is constructed of the arms of Cheryl Cole and the legs of Kate Middleton, who both have boyish figures. It is also constructed of the stomach of super athletic Jessica Ennis, the chest of top heavy Michelle Keegan and the behind of bottom-heavy Pippa Middleton.
Interesting, nobody who made up the perfect body has the highly desired hourglass figure, and the resulting body still does not have an hourglass figure, which is often thought of as the perfect body shape, although the hourglass-y Kelly Brook narrowly lost out for Britain's best chest.

Bottom line? The perfect body was constructed out of women with completely different body types, so the perfect body couldn't possibly exist. It's far easier to learn to work with and love your own body that to try and achieve a perfect body.
