The agency’s manager sent me a background memo about the woman I’d be playing, a purported 21-year-old university student blessed with physical proportions that are in vogue these days.

In vogue these days? That just reminds me of how every generation thinks they invented sex. Or the Simpsons quote where Mr. Burns describes a past encounter: "We expressed our love physically, as was the style at the time."

Some body types are more...fashionable than others. For example, a woman who is deemed "chubby" now would've been a perfect 10 centuries ago.

Since beauty is subjective, tastes will be different from person to person, but certain types will dominate depending upon the culture at that time and place.

Chubby 10 centuries ago? Mate, have you ever been to a museum? There were no chubby women apart from rich and obese aristocrats.

I think you've got that backwards. The article suggests that this person has a pronounced bottom.
