Today’s woman is my Margarita or the full Busted small hipped woman

She has a wondrous bust that has been made by man or made by God. Depending upon the maker will often influence her own appreciation and comfort level with her fuller bust.  If she was born this way, there is a high possibility it will not be one of her most favoured assets.
