Corsets are responsible for Bette Davis' incredibly tiny waist. Ladies of the world, do not think that the human body naturally forms like this. Believe it or not, the intestines like to stretch out a bit. Whether by natural design or by the power of corset, Bette Davis' tiny waist was part of her appeal. At the time she insured it for $140,000 which by today's standards is in the twenty million dollar range.
Let me tell you a little story. My friend told me she bought a corset for five hundred dollars. I told her, "what a waist!" Now that's a solid joke. Here's another. She didn't try it on for me but i asked her if it fit. She said, "Of corset did." I'm unstoppable. Unrelated, they say that making excessive puns is a sign of frontal lobe brain damage.
