Kate Middleton hailed as a ‘Spartan missile’: report

Kate Middleton has been branded a “beauty missile” bordering on Spartan standards.

British author Lisa Hilton issued this claim in her interview with the Daily Mail.

She was quoted saying, “The Duchess [...] boasts that special something millions of women have longed for ever since Michelle Obama stepped over the White House threshold: perfectly toned arms.”

“Yet while the Duchess’s sleeveless styles look fresh and modern, she is in fact invoking a venerable tradition,” she added.

“For like so many aspects of a woman’s appearance, the size of our arms is subject to a complex societal evolution which has seen them wax and wane over the centuries.”

Mainly because “In the classical world, a toned female physique was associated with intelligence and competence — the sculpted Spartan girls were viewed as the era’s erotic pin-ups."
