Sir/Madam,
Someone has tried to convince me of what I suspect is an urban legend, but I 
have been unable to prove it either way.
Do supermodels appear to be exceptionally attractive women due to a genetic 
abnormality, such as 47 XXX. Has any study ever been done on this to have any 
factual basis to the rumours?

Thanks
Bruce
