I agree, but it was the best example I could find of a full bust with shoulders significantly narrower than the hips. Usually when people talk about pears, they mean a woman with a very small chest. I liked the photo because it shows that there's more to defining shape than how voluptuous your assets are.
Speaking to what someone else is saying, some people do have wider frames than others. When I'm 100 lbs I look gaunt, like something's clearly wrong with me (of course it takes some pretty extreme dieting to get me to that point)...at the same time I know women who are 5'4 100lbs who just have a narrower build, so although they are clearly very skinny, they don't look nearly as scary/gaunt in the face as I do at the same weight.
I'm just trying to figure out your reasoning for why only hourglasses are curvy.
No reasoning really, it's just how I feel looking from a purely aesthetic viewpoint. Just as you think hip to waist ratio is the prime reason for 'curvy', and I don't.

Even aesthetics have reasons behind them. The reason I put emphasis on the WHR is because it is what defines a curvy silhouette. If you're looking at a silhouette of a woman straight on, her bust usually doesn't factor into the image at all. That's why some people don't even consider breast size when defining body shapes, they compare hips, waist, and shoulders. I see large breasts the same as large butts; they can certainly enhance the curviness of a figure, but they can't make an uncurvy figure curvy.
