World's Smallest Waist

I can't help but post these pictures here...



Cathie Jung has the smallest waist in the world. Her waistline is only 15 inches (38.1 cm), about the same size as a regular jar of mayonnaise. She's been wearing a corset for virtually every hour of the day and night since 1983 . The only time that she is not wearing the corset is probably the hour it takes her to shower and dry herself thoroughly. She has suffered no ill effects from wearing a corset virtually 24 hours a day since 1983. In fact, it has bolstered her spinal support. Bob Jung says: "As for the ribs, you would be surprised by how much the chest is not impacted. Only the two lower ribs, but those are the so-called floating ribs, two on each side. Everything in the midriff is flexible. The bowels and the stomach are hollow.

Yeah, it looks like it's been photoshopped but it's actually real...she's in the Guinness World of Record as the living person with the smallest waist. Anyway, here's a link to one of her interviews Cathie Jung

the first thing that comes into my mind when i saw the first 3 pictures is a "corset"... it has been an 'english' practice to wear corsets... it originated actually in france as early as 1800's... corsets were made for health and fashion purposes. people with scoliosis are advised to wear corsets... but corsets that are especially designed to address the spine deformity.

i'd rather have a 26" waistline measurement than 15"... interesting post... thanks for sharing!
