Basic Female Body Shapes, Part III: Rectangle

Hello hallo beautiful woman,


Nice having you here on doitwithyourstyle. Last time I introduced you to the Inverted Triangle body shape. Now it's time for another athletic figure: Rectangle.


If you are a Rectangle, you don't have many curves and your body may even look tomboyish. As I wrote about the Inverted Triangle body shape, it seems that nowadays the slimmer you are and the less curves you have specially on your lower-body the sexier you look, so be proud of your body! ;0)

I am a Rectangle and for many years all I wanted was curves. Actually I am more like a lollipop: straight from feet to rib cage and then POP: two melons. :0) I remember when I was a teenage and there was a girl who used to call me in Portuguese something like "flat booty" because of my little booty and narrow hips. I would never believe I would be so proud of my little booty a couple of years later and even work out hard to keep it this way! 


Let us see here some celebrities with a Rectangle body shape:
