ideal woman

We loved her once but,
over the millennia and with
the coming of Vogue magazine,
the bikini and supermarkets,
we think we've forgotten her.
But she's there -
an archetype in our subconscious.

These Stone Age figures, called 'Venuses',
made 20 to 30,000 years ago,
are reckoned to have been fertility symbols.

This one was photographed in the Evoluon, Philips' Science Museum in Eindhoven, Holland
(it's now a conference centre).
If you click on 'History' after picking a language on the
Evoluon page, and scroll down a bit, you'll see a promo video for the Evoluon as it was.
At 1:44 and at 9:02, you can spot this lady.
