Rubinesque

[Immi666]

My friends keep telling me that I'm not fat, I'm Rubinesque. Anyone know what this means?

[Quizmonkey]

Er, fat. But said by someone who doesn't want to hurt your feelings. Just take a look at Rubens' work...

It means you need to lose 200lbs

Like diamonds, rubies, silver, and gold,
the full-figured Rubenesque female is classically beautiful.

Peter Paul Rubens (June 28, 1577 � May 30, 1640) was a prolific seventeenth-century Flemish and European painter, and a proponent of an exuberant Baroque style that emphasized movement, color, and sensuality. He is well-known for his Counter-Reformation altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. As many of his paintings feature full-figured, voluptuous women, the word "Rubenesque" (meaning plump or fleshy, yet not "fat," and used exclusively to describe women) is derived from his last name.
