Today, I was showing my friend my Poison

Today, I was showing my friend my Poison Ivy action figure.  I hadn’t taken it out of my drawer for years, and she pointed out that Ivy has a severe back bent, like some of the Escher Girls on this blog.  And yes… she does.

The figure also shows something that’s been pointed out on this blog often, that the back bent is used by artists to give the woman curves along her butt while keeping her really thin.  As you can see in the below picture, I aligned her butt and legs, and you can see how she actually has no butt.  It was an illusion created by the dent in her back.
