Replication
Here is the data set. Here is the R Code:library(fSeries)
bmi <- read.table("C:/play.txt")
bmi[bmi == 0] <- NA
bmi <- interpNA(bmi, method="linear")
bmi <- ts(bmi, frequency=12, start=c(1953,12))
# First Plot (Hodrick-Prescott Filter)
eye <- diag(length(bmi))
d <- diff(eye,d=2)
hp.100000 <- ts(solve(eye+100000*crossprod(d),bmi), frequency = 12, start = c(1953,12))
plot(bmi, ylab="BMI")
lines(hp.100000, col="blue", lwd=2)
# Second Plot (Seasonal Decomposition of a Time Series by Loess)
plot(stl(bmi[,1], s.window="periodic"))

And over the same timeframe the waist-to-hip ratio has moved up, both as a result of the models getting skinnier overall (I assume) and maybe also as a result of more exercise. Sad. Centerfolds getting more boyish looking.

Boyish looks
I definitely agree with you that many Amercian models pump too much iron. Most of the Miss USA contestants actually look like transvestites. I'm a fan of "skinny" (with an BMI of 20.2 and 9.5% bodyfat I would actually call myself skinny) but I know that there are studies that suggest that fetuses benefit from hip fat that contains polyunsaturated fatty acids critical for the development of the fetus's brain and I have big plans ...

Lame.
Sample this:"I don't have a lot of experience with vampires, but I have hunted werewolves. I shot one once, but by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog."
