Kibbe Body Types and Celebrities: a Beginner's Guide

(Credit to: Aly Art)

David Kibbe, author of Metamorphosis, drew upon previous fashion systems to create his own Kibbe Body System, homing in on the yin-yang balance of the body and boiling his method down to the bare bones-- literally-- of the overall frame: length, width, height, and softness. Then, he divided each feature into two main categories:  the yin softness or the yang structure. The more “structure” a frame had, the more “visual weight” it presented; and the more “softness” it had, the less “visual weight” it presented. 

At first, Kibbe sorted each frame into five main types with two additional subtypes. However, his system recently caught on fire with popularity, leading to vast misinterpretations or reinterpretations through over analysis and hyper fixation. Because of this, David updated his system (and is reworking on an updated version of his book), resifting his old designs into a simpler order.  

This analysis will be working from the information I've gleaned mostly from Aly Art's channel here. She is incredible at stripping down each concept to its basics-- highly recommend. I also used Merriam Style’s channel for her body type test (here), which is an even more stripped version of Kibbe’s original body type quiz. (Aly's version of the quiz is here.)

**Note**: Kibbe Body Types are separate from the actual weight of an individual; and do not change with bodily fluctuations, changes, or even age. Example: Romantics will always appear softer compared to other body types their height or weight because of the “flesh” (natural padding of fat) over their muscles and bones, whereas Naturals will always appear more “mature” compared to older Gamines because of the visual weight of the bones (cheekbone, jawbone, etc.) in their face. 

KIBBE BODY TYPES

**Note**: The Kibbe Body System is a complete overview of the entire frame, not just the face: two different people can share strikingly similar facial features yet have completely different bodies. It’s important to assess more than one facet.

If we were to place the Kibbe Body Types on a left to right scale, Dramatics have the most yang-- sharpness, length, elongation, structure-- and Romantics have the most yin-- shortness, roundness, softness. In the middle would sit the Classics-- a balanced mixture of yang structure and yin softness; mid-left would be Naturals (yang elongation with blunted width); and mid-right would be Gamines (an uneven mixture of yin and yang.)

DRAMATIC TYPES

Dramatics

Dramatic Types have longer, angular, more narrow bones-- a vertical column, if you will-- that curve into points instead of “blunt” edges. They are moderate to tall (5’9"/173cm and up), and have prominent, straight, sleek features. If plus sized, they accumulate weight in their hips and upper thighs. 

Benedict Cumberbatch, Sean Connery, Charlton Heston, Ricardo Montalban, Errol Flyn, Daniel Craig

Katherine Hepburn, Cate Blanchett, Angelica Huston,  Diane Carol, Faye Dunaway, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristen Wig, Maggie Smith, Taylor Swift

Soft Dramatics

Soft Dramatic Types have more softness in their bust and hips, giving them a powerful voluptuousness (as opposed to the Romantic Types delicate pure yin.) They are moderate to tall (5’7”/170cm and up), with a moderate waist and fleshier facial features, arms, and hips. If plus sized, they get heavier on the fleshiest parts of the body: bust, hips, waist, thighs, upper arms, and the face.

Dean Martin, Christian Bale, Matthew McConoughy, John Travolta, Nicholas Cage, Clark Gable

Adele, Ann Bancroft, Ava Gardiner, Barbara Streisand, Kim Novak, Maria Callas, Mae West, Rachel Weiz, Rita Heyworth, Sofia Vergara, Sofia Loren

NATURAL TYPES

Naturals have longer, blunted, wider bones-- a T-shape, if you will-- that curve into blunts instead of angular or softened edges. 

David Kibbe no longer believes in the pure Natural Type, placing clients or celebrities into either Flamboyant or Soft Natural.

Flamboyant Naturals

Flamboyant Natural Types have a touch more structure: blunt, long, wide bones; wide, T-shaped shoulders; and a figure that narrows in a flat, straight line down their waist, hips, and legs. They are moderate to tall (5’11”/180cm and up), with features that are broad and angular, but not sharp. If plus sized, the body tends to become squarer. 

Calvin Klein, Dick Van Dyke, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Tom Sellack (maybe), Michael Landon (maybe), Joe Biden  

Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway (had work done to disguise), Bea Arthur, Brooke Shields, Cameron Diaz, Carly Simon, Cindy Crawford (quintessential, imo), Emma Stone, Farah Faucett, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ingrid Bergma, Jane Fonda, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts, Lucille Ball, Linda Carter, Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman, Katie Homes (probably), Princess Diana Spencer, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tracey Ellis Ross, Uma Therman, LOTS of supermodels (broad shoulders, long and straight waist)

Soft Naturals

Soft Natural have a softness to their long, blunt, wide bones, narrow hips. They are moderate to tall (5’5”/165cm and up), with smaller, rounder softness to their blunt facial features and frame. Their T-shape is less pronounced because of their more proportionate shoulders (in comparison to Flamboyant Naturals, at least.) If plus sized, SNs thicken in their upper arms, thighs, and hips.  

Alan Alda, OJ Simpson, John Wayne, Robert Redford, Robert Conrad, Bing Crosby, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gene Kelly, Brad Pit, Gene Hackman

Bette Grable, Carol Lombard, Chloe Sevigny, Doris Day (icon), Goldie Hahn, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Lopez, Julie Andrews, Kamala Harris, Kat Dennings, Katy Perry, Kim Bassinger, Marisa Tomay, Renee Zellweger, Sandra Bullock, Scarlet Johanson (had work done), Sissy Spacek 

CLASSIC TYPES

Classics are an even mixture of both skeletal structures: their frames are mid-height or tallish-- symmetrical angles or edges-- with a “balanced” appearance: their arms, waists, and legs are proportionate in length and width to their overall frame (not too angular, curved, or blunt); and can handle more visual weight than Romantics but less so than Dramatics or Naturals. They appear naturally polished; and often are dragged down by elements in their wardrobes that skew too much in any direction (appearing overwhelmed or overdone.) 

Kibbe no longer promotes pure Classic Types, insisting that no person can be a perfect mixture and discouraging his clients or followers from trying to fit themselves into an impossible mold. 

Dramatic Classics

Dramatic Classic Types are an even mixture of yin and yang with just a touch more of yang’s structure, giving them either slightly sharper features, slightly longer limbs, or a bit less softness overall. Their height is moderate (5’5”-5’8”/166-172cm or thereabouts); and their figure and features are symmetrically squarish (more rectangular compared to Dramatics’ long and narrow vertical column and Naturals’ long and wide T-shape.) If plus sized, they gain weight in the hips and thighs (rarely around the bustline), becoming more pear-shaped overall.  

Carey Grant, John Ham

Diana Rig, Gina Rollins, Jackie Kennedy-Onassis, Jill Biden, Lana Turner, Olivia Munn, Phylicia Rashad

Soft Classics

Soft Classic Types are a symmetrical mixture with just a touch more of yin’s softness, giving them either slightly softened features, slightly shorter and wider limbs, or slightly more “fleshiness” overall. Their height is moderate (5’5"-5'6”/164-169cm); and their features are slightly small and wide. If plus sized, SCs lose their waist definition and become fuller in the face.  

John Slattery, John Glenn, Gregory Peck, Bryant Gumbel

Barbara Walters, Carolina Herrera, Donna Reed, Emma Thompson, Grace Kelly, Joan Fontaine, Kirsten Dunst (maybe), Marion Cotillard 

GAMINE TYPES

Gamines are an uneven mixture of both skeletal structures: their frames are usually short or rarely tall-- unsymmetrical angles or edges-- with a “youthful” appearance; and the mismatch of their skeletons give them an appearance of eternal youth instead of “womanly” or “mature” beauty. The endless combinations of their features-- long arms, short arms, long legs, short legs, long torso, short torsos, visual weight in the face, no visual weight in the face, etc. etc.-- thrive in the chaos of mismatching, color blocking, differing clothing silhouettes; and are often dragged down by too much polish or restriction. 

David Kibbe no longer stands by the pure Gamine type, filtering people into either Theatrical or Soft Gamine.

Theatrical Gamines

Theatrical Gamine Types tip the scales in a more yang than yin direction, giving them a broadly angular frame composed of shorter lines (compared to the Dramatics’ and Naturals’ long, angular, and broad lines.) They are moderate to short height (5’6”/168cm) with square, slightly wide features. Structure gives them very defined musculature-- ala Dramatics and Naturals-- and a longer, “leggier” look. If plus sized, TGs collect weight from the waist down, turning squarer or “stocky.” 

Jimmy Kimmel, Frank Sinatra, Neil Patrick Harris

Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Debbie Allen, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Kelly Osborne, Liza Minelli, Lucy Liu, Penelope Cruz, Tina Turner, Twiggy, Zoey Deschenel 

Soft Gamines

Soft Gamine Types tip the scales in a more yin than yang direction. They are the short Gamines (5’2”/157cm or thereabouts): delicately broad-- a combination of delicate and small, broad and angular-- with width dominated by an overall “fleshy” softness in their arms, hips, and thighs. SGs often have “doll" like features: rounded face shape, fleshy cheeks and big eyes. If plus sized, their figure becomes more rounded, mainly in the bust, hips, arms, and face area. (Soft Gamines often think they are overweight-- when more often they’re not-- because of their natural roundness and lack of pronounced hips and waist.)

Fred Astaire, Robert Downy Jr. 

Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, Claudette Colbert, Debbie Reynolds, Eartha Kitt, Halle Berry, Judy Garland, Leslie Caron, Mary Kate and Ashley Olson, Octavia Spencer, Natalie Wood, Reese Witherspoon, Sally Field, Winona Ryder 

ROMANTIC TYPES

Romantics

Romantics are dominated by yin softness; and, therefore, have the least visual “weight” to them. Their frames are mid-height or shorter (5’5"/166cm and under) with “rounded” and curved angles or edges-- sloped or petite shoulders, rounded facial features, and “fleshy”, shorter arms, waists, and legs. If plus sized, Romantics keep their waist definition while their body and face become more rounded and “full.” 

Colin Firth, Leonardo DiCaprio, Elijah Wood, Simon Baker, Richard Gere, Michael Jackson, Omar Shereef, Billy Dee Williams, Elvis Presely

Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci, Arlene Dahl, Bernadette Peters, Beyonce, Dolly Parton, Elizabeth Taylor, Gina Lollobrigida, Helena Bonham Carter, H. E. R. Gabbie Wilson, Gene Simmons, Madonna, Maryln Monroe, Susan Sarandon

Theatrical Romantics

Theatrical Romantic Types differ from pure Romantic Types in their width: while both are delicate, the touch of yang to a TR’s frame gives it a narrower waist, slightly sharper features, and a bit less flesh over their arms, hips, or even hands. Their moderate to petite height (5’2”/157cm or thereabouts) is voluptuous, but small and narrow as opposed to wide and “bulky.” If plus sized, their figure retains its defined waist while the arms, thighs, and face become quite “fleshy.” 

David and Susan Kibbe, Orlando Bloom, Prince, Johnny Depp 

Ann Margret, Heidi Lamar, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jane Seymor, Jean Harlowe, Mila Kunis, Morgan Fairchild, Salma Hayek, Selena Gomez, Vivian Leigh

MARGARITA CARMEN CANSINO. VENERADA COMO RITA HAYWORTH.

Texto: Alexandra Shayuk.

Margarita Carmen Cansino Hayworth, más conocida como Rita Hayworth o Gilda, ha sido una de las mujeres que marcó la época 72 dorada de Hollywood, y que a día de hoy sigue siendo una de las actrices más bellas que la industria del “Séptimo Arte” haya tenido el placer de acoger.

Rita empezó a trabajar con apenas 12 años actuando con su padre como pareja de baile. Hija de emigrante sevillano y bailarina irlandesa, su familia se vio prácticamente arruinada por el Crac de 29.

Margarita Cansino poco tenía que ver con Rita Hayworth, pero su destino estaba escrito. Con tan sólo 16 años debutó bailando sensualmente en “El infierno de Dante”, dos años después se casaba con Edward Judson, un magnate petrolero con contactos en Hollywood. Allí empezó su conquista de “La Meca del Cine” y de todo una generación.

A pesar de su evidente fama, Rita Hayworth confesó que no logró encontrar la felicidad. Orson Welles, quien fue su segundo esposo, decía que se enamoró de ella antes de verla. Tras otros tres matrimonios fallidos, la actriz seguía encontrándose sola, desdichada y usada. Querida por todo el mundo, nunca se sintió verdaderamente amada. Como Gilda, su icónico personaje, podía tener a cualquiera a sus pies sólo con quitarse un guante, pero las cosas que de verdad anhelaba Rita eran mucho más simples.

En sus últimos años de su vida, Alzheimer borró todos los buenos y malos instantes. Margarita Carmen Cansino Hayworth dejó el mundo hace 30 años, un 14 de mayo de 1987, tal y como vino, sin recordar nada, pero quedándose por siempre en nuestra memoria.

Stephen King: America’s king of horror

There are few more recognizable names in the horror writing than Stephen King. He is a legend of horror and science fiction writing and has a legion of fans around the world. Many of King’s writings have been made into movies and television show, which demonstrates his enduring appeal. Here are some interesting facts about one of America’s most popular writers.

King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947 and is a huge fan of the Boston Red Sox baseball team

He has had 58 novels published but has also written hundreds of short stories and contributed to many movie scripts. He has sold more than 350 million books and sometimes wrote under the pseudonym, Richard Bachman.

Although primarily regarded as a writer of horror fiction, King has also written in a number of different genres and wrote the novel that the critically acclaimed movie The Shawshank Redemption was based on. The full title of the book was Rita Heyworth and the Shawshank Redemption.

King is an accomplished musician and once played guitar in a band with Simpsons creator Matt Groening.

He was involved in a car crash in 1999 which left him laid up for months with multiple fractures and a collapsed lung. He later bought the car which had caused him all that damage for $1500 and vowed to smash it up with a sledgehammer.

One of his most famous characters which made its way onto a movie screen was that of Jack Torrance in The Shining. The character was memorably played by Jack Nicholson.

Cheap Holidays to Lanzarote Allow You to See Exciting Places

Located in the Atlantic Ocean, Lanzarote is the fourth-largest among the Canary Islands and has been declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It has some unusual landscapes, owing to its volcanic origin. The island came into existence due to some massive volcanic eruptions, resulting in rock formations and solidified lava streams. Between 1730 and 1736, the greatest eruptions in the recorded history of this island took place that also altered the landscapes considerably. These volcanic features were fused with some aesthetic works of art in the 20th century by Cesar Manrique, a Spanish artist, sculptor, and architect, who was born on this island.

Your cheap holidays to Lanzarote would allow you to visit Timanfaya National Park, which is the most famous among all the attractions located on the island. It is explored by nearly a million individuals every year through a route that was planned by Cesar Manrique. He also designed the El Diablo restaurant located in this park, with coach pick-up and car park at a place called Isote de Hilario. Visitors to this park are not allowed to walk through the park and this is the reason why it has still maintained its pristine appearance. While in the park, you can get the chance to capture its fascinating geographical features in your camera or smartphone when the pick-up coach stops at certain points.

Another majestic attraction worth visiting on this island is Jameos del Agua. It was described as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' by the legendary Hollywood actress, Rita Heyworth. These open-air caves were conceived by Cesar Manrique. The entrance is provided by a staircase built using stone that ends in the first cave known as 'Jameo Chico'. It has been transformed into a unique bar and restaurant, which provides some wonderful views over a small natural lake with crystal-clear water.

During your holidays on this Spanish island, you'll get to explore one of the longest volcanic tunnels in the world called 'Cueva de Los Verdes'. They were formed when Montana La Corona erupted about 4,000 years ago and are a part of a 6-kilometre-long lava tube. Upon taking a guided tour of these caves, you'll be able to witness some awe-inspiring optical illusions that have been created naturally in these caves. The Cuevas de Los Verdes also provided refuge to the locals during various times in history when the island was attacked by raiders and pirates.

Cactus Garden is a must-see for tourists holidaying on this Spanish island. It is located on the northern portion of the island and is home to more than 10,000 varieties of plants. The garden also features one of the world's best collections of cacti. All of them have been displayed in an impressive manner against the backdrop of an amphitheatre-like structure. The Cactus Garden is also a work of Cesar Manrique, who gave incredible attention to detail while designing it. An eminent botanist known as Estanislao Gonzales Ferrer played a key role in selecting the plants and creating the design and layout.
