AW: [SEELANGS] "well-endowed"

[Gasan Gusejnov]

perhaps, the best "original" for "well-endowed" is "ladnaya", as e.g.
"xoro60 slo*ennaya" would be a calque.

How about just "stroinaia" as a culturally appropriate and unforced-sounding
term. I rather like it because it picks up on English "built" - to my ear. 

A Russian colleague of mine suggests "khoroshaia figura" as non-offensive
and colloquial. 

The rest,as my old conversation teacher - Anatolii Sapronov - used to say is
pure "anglosaksonstvo."
