Dear colleagues:
One of our more senior colleagues, the famous sociologist Prof. John
D. Rimberg (for short, he uses "John Rim"), asked me to post his query
(below), after his own efforts to cope with SEELANGS' tricky enrollment
procedures were not crowned with success. Glad to oblige.
If feminine pulchritude is not the usual subject matter on this most
highly respected, esteemed, and distinguished list-server (ahem),
John Rim's query can provide us with a little change of pace. Replies
can be addressed back to him ("Angel") or to this list-server.--Steven
P Hill, Univ. of Illinois.

Subject: Russian synonyms
Please help me identify Russian words, especially contemporary
words, that can express admiration for the female figure, female
body, female attributes, female wiles, and female movement
("body English"), consistent with contemporary Russian cultural
values.
Have used full-figured [ polnaya ] and this apparently communicates
well.
Would like to have RUSSIAN EQUIVALENTS, in the same context,
for such similar terms as:
shapely,
well-built,
well-endowed,
curvacious,
fascinating,
magnetic,
hypnotic,
spell-binding,
seductive,
appealing,
feminine.
Will you help with this semantic project of mine ? Hope so.-- John Rim.
