Like you, I don't think she was the single icon of beauty, just one icon (as in image, symbol, or emblem). Personally, I don't get it.
I'd rather be Lauren Bacall or Audrey Hepburn any day.

I'd take it one step further. Not only is there not just one icon or fundamental notion of beauty, there isn't a fundamental form.
I agree that I would probabaly find Liv Tyler more attractive than Mia in a lingerie photo spread, I would not either one out from under the covers. And I certainly wouldn't go attributing some inherent moral or social superiority to Liv based on her dress size.
They both have the same eyes, capable of being both innocent and alluring at the same time. And those are what I find myself drawn to to begin with.
I just find the whole obssession with size rEdiculous to begin with. Too much either way is unattractive.
