So, I'm not as good at walking in heels as I used to be. Let me tell you, it's hard to drive a pick-up with a sticky clutch and disentegrating fuel line in three inch pumps. It's also hard to feel quite as sexy as you did getting ready when you're stepping out of said pick-up in front of the ritziest restaurant in town, onto the wet pavement while the light rain drizzles out any effort you took with your hair. I know I should look at myself as an Amazon, but it's hard when you're six inches taller and have at least fourty pounds on every other woman there. How come you never see fat people eating at high-class places? Hello? We LOVE food! The food was fantastic, but I have to admit that I felt like I was in the land of Lilliputions. I'm exaggerating, but you get my point.

LOL!! I probably shouldn't laugh, but I have to. But it's okay, because I know exactly how you feel. I'm 6' tall with curves (including a few extra). So...I can sympathize. And laugh. Because I've been there. Short, skinny people just don't understand how ungraceful we can feel sometimes. But what're you gonna do? Laugh, I say. :-)

Ahhh, yes...I'm sure you've heard the wonderful "but you're tall, so you carry the extra weight better than I do..." before! Here's to Amazons, greeneyes! In some countries we represent wealth and health, not to mention all those Botticelli paintings.

"but you're tall, so you carry the extra weight better than I do..."

Ooooh, yes. I also love it when someone says "well, you're big." This, of course, results in a 'look.' "Well, I don't mean fat, of course, just big."

Yeah, that makes me feel sooo much better. I have curves, I have a few extra curves, just tell me I look hot and leave it at that.

At least I'll always have my jiggly butt!

Here's to Amazons and the Renaissance bodies!!! *clinks glass*

oooh...or, "well, your bone structure is different than mine"

actually, no, because I weighed 120 in high school and had to wear Wranglers b/c they were the only ones that made a size 1T...I actually have small bone structure!

I LOVE my butt (and, of course, the breasts, but you already knew that)...no matter how big it is, it still looks damn good in jeans!

Me too. . .6' tall, Amazon, dealt with the assanine comments all my life.
The question "Do you play basketball?" makes me want to respond with "No, do you play mini-golf?"...
