That's close to my height but pretty far from my body weight so it's no really reassuring, I have Marfan syndrome, which results in an unusually tall thin build with disproportionately long legs to boot and I'd really like some tights. :-(

How do these tights work for people who are very tall and thin? Most tights are too wide at the top and too short in leg so they get gradually dragged down on me. I've been wearing Hue, and those work pretty well, but I'd like some more variety.

I can get close but not to that point, and I'm severely genetically hyper-mobile. If I can't do it, no one can. You know how they say it's impossible to lick your elbow? Bullshit. I can like my elbow, but I can't do what that model is doing.

How would you get a Great Dane into a sweatshirt? It's hard enough getting my Shih Tzu into a sweater.

Lots of multiples (16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets) in her case. As to how she survived that, much less how she survived that in 18th century Russia is anyone's guess. Supposedly, 67 of those children survived infancy, which is just as remarkable.

Still nowhere near the world record, Mrs. Dugger! Valentina Vassilyeva has you beat with her 69(!!!) children.

I got mine from this tiny little thrift shop run by these two sweet old ladies. It's tucked between the railroad tracks and a tractor supply store. Despite that, they have some really amazing stuff there, and I have particularly good luck because this lawyer who wears my size goes there to sell all her stuff so she…

This is so true. I just got my first cashmere sweater from a thrift store for about 18 dollars. It's amazing it's so warm.

Speak for yourself. I have my mother's name, and plan to keep it.

So, there's something I'm curious about. A lot of women say that they changed their names so it would be the same as their children. Why is it assumed that the children get their father's name? Tracking lineage through the mothers makes more sense, and the women do more work to actually make the children.

Horses, like most quadrupeds are digitigrade, so yeah, they're walking on what would be equivalent to a human's toes. So are cats and dogs. We're the weirdos for walking on our heels.

Try Sofft? They're comfortable and have a lot of unusual sizes. I wear a 10 narrow (nearly impossible to find) and they actually carry it.

I'm 6'2" in tall heels but that's never stopped guys from bothering me. :-(

She used to. Ever see Room with a View? It's a little strange watching her in that one now.

I knew someone who did this for a couple of summers in DC. It made him hate people. He had some crazy stories about the shit he had to put up with (at least once it was literally shit).

Sundance isn't much cheaper, but they are better quality and as far as I know don't support any jackass political candidates,

Heh, I went to college in DC and knew a guy who did that for a couple of summers. He said it put him in the best shape of his life and made him hate people. Tourists are assholes.

Heh, I was the Lone Wanderer to my old college gaming group's Halloween party just after Fallout 3 came out. It was a great party. No store bought "sexy" costumes in sight.

Panera food is also really bad for you, especially if you're trying to watch your sodium intake.

I mean, neither have I, not being mormon or giving a shit about being modest, but since I need to wear a thong under that thing to hid possible pantie lines I doubt you'd be able to get anything more substantial. As for the quality thing, I just buy their stuff on sale or with a groupon and that usually works out. …
