I always think of Mae West's figure as being much more exaggerated. I
hope you don't mind this alteration:
            ____  
          /((   ))
         ( )6  6( )
         (_)  l (_)
           \ <> )
       _____) (_____
      (    \   /    )
      )  ,  \_/  `  (
     / /(    Y    )\ \
    / /   `     ,   \ \

     \ \  ,     `  / /
      '\\/        \//'
       '|\`      '|\`
          \      /
           \    /
           )    (
 jgs/akg  /      \
         /        \

     /                \ 
     `-....,      ,..-'
            `-..-'

I seem to recall that I revised a picture posted by the late Colin
Douthwaite to look like Mae West but DejaNews has ruined the ascii-art
archives. Does anyone know if there is a URL to go to to see
alt.ascii-art archived correctly? This is the one I just used.

http://www.deja.com/=dnc/[ST_rn=ps]/home_ps.shtml

Below is as close as I can figure out from the mangled post. (I was
letting DejaNews file ascii-art for me.)

            (((())
           ((()))))

             (/\|/\)    mh          |  |

The little dog still looks quite mangled.
