A True Sex Symbol

I am a huge fan of the AMC series, "Mad Men." I love the throw back to the 1950's era. Personally, I think that  era exudes a natural sex appeal. Progressively, since the 1970's the idea of sex appeal has morphed into the idea that whoever wears the least amount of clothing is deemed sexy. I don't agree with this mindset at all.

I think Joan Holloway of Mad Men is the sexiest TV character on-screen today. Joan, played by the gorgeous Christina Hendricks, is a full-figured woman. By full-figured, I mean has breasts and a shape to her body. She is not stick thin, she is voluptuous.Joan is fully covered and extremely sexy, she doesn't need to be naked to be attractive.

I believe characters like Joan Holloway and others like her will slowly change the public mentality that thin and unclothed is sexy. They convey that a womans natural figure, presence, and subtle sex appeal is what truly makes a sex symbol. Hopefully, this trend will catch on and the idea of what is sexy will change along with it.
