    A woman that has a similar body shape to the style of women painted by Rubens. Not just any slightly overweight woman. Not just any girl who has round hips or a bum. The women in Rubens paintings were often very plump, with large round hips. While it was once a compliment, now it often a criticism or back handed compliment.

      A term for a woman with a body similar to the women painted by the artist Peter Paul Rubens. His painting called Judgment of Paris is a good example. The word has nothing at all to do with Ruben Studdard as it was in use long before American Idol existed. The women of Rubens paintings typically had hourglass figures and were [chubby], but not obese.

            The root ruben refers to Ruben Studdard, famous for winning American Idol despite being extremely fat.

            Like BBW, on-the-heavy-side and big boned, rubenesque is yet another way to say fat while trying to remain polite.

                Rubenesque women are beautiful, full & fruitful. How dare ignorant people call a full beautiful rubenesque woman "fat." DUH, Look at all these women getting bootie implants!?! Obviously beauty is in the heart, mind & eye of an intelligent person. Rubenesque women ROCK!!!

                    Rubenesque is still very much a compliment. If you choose to use it as an insult, teh only person you insult is yourself. ;)

                      @Couch-Potatoe You have a mirror I hope. I wouldnt want to call you Rotund and have that seem impolite....

                      IE Not even considers being fat, large, or Rubenesque a bad thing.
