Marginal Revolution poses an interesting question, but makes the uncharacteristic mistake of generalizing based on personal observation. I'm not certain that Slovakian women are hotter than Austrian women. Anecdotally that's certainly true, but someone needs to systematically collect data on this, then we can start talking about causes. Any ideas how that could be done?
I hesitate to look at celebrities, for instance, because then I worry you are capturing a self selected sample. Also, this raises the question of whether or not we are wondering about average beauty across the whole population, or some sort of more specific question like level of beauty across the top 1% most beautiful.
Incidentally, the third comment down is by Derek Lowe. Regrettably, not THE Derek Lowe, but he's probably going to be just as valuable in fantasy this year as THE Derek Lowe...
P.S. : I hestiated to post this because it crowds out hilarious posts from both Jeff and Mike immediately below. Take the time to scroll down!

First post of February!
Oh Christ, first "First!" comment post as well. Way to go douche.
But, re the topic at hand, I don't think it is newfound capitalism that is making these women beautiful, I think it's merely a case of them now being discovered by Western/American media. I mean, wealth and health will help over time of course, but the cold war had us cut off pretty good. Regardless, Czech and Slovak women are crazy gorgeous. It's really unbelievable. Walking around Prague you just see random chicks, shop girls, whatever, that are like super models. It's awesome. Hot chicks are awesome.
I'm not convinced. Maybe all the beautiful Austrian and American women are staying inside? There has to be some explanation for it, even if it is true.
Can someone mention something about Hitler? It doesn't feel like a blog unless there is some mention of Hitler. You know, Godwin's Law and everything.
Great mike. Way to kill my post. Now I have to stop. NEXT.
