Here is a quote from an interview with Christina Applegate.
"I have short legs and it drives me crazy! I've got a really long torso and short legs. I can pull it off with the right jeans, but it's taken time to figure that out. There are people, like Cameron Diaz, who have incredibly long legs and you go, "Wow, how can you ever have a problem if you just wake up with long legs?!" I'd love to wake up to them one day, but it's just not going to happen! "
I browsed a lot of images of Christina, but I do not observe her to be that disproportional. Firstly I could not find any clear candid ones of her, or ones from the rear, a long torso is best observed from the back or side, and most difficult to notice from the front. In the old photo though one can see the long back from her shoulder to the underside of her bottom. Also her ankles are not very slim further making her legs stocky. However she is an attractive woman, and I must say reading her quote is comforting to us short legged ladies.

I'd say she was averagely proportioned, not hugely leggy, but not short-legged by any means.
ReplyDeleteYes I do agree with you, however I included her on the blog, because of her quote.
ReplyDeleteYes fair enough. I think to be honest any woman who hasn't got obviously long legs proportionate to her height is going to think she's got short legs, due to the supermodel (the usual leggy ones hehe) ideal.
ReplyDeleteBut this blog is feeding an obsession let me tell you lol.
I think it didn't help that I grew up with a sister, who is 6' and has 36" legs, so around half her height i.e. very long!!! I was always extremely jealous. I know my legs are quite nice, and when I get them out (which I don't usually) people tell me they are nice, but they are too damn short. I also have a funny ankle, in that on the inside the bone doesn't show, so it just kind of goes straight into the foot. I wouldn't say it was a cankle, as that seems to mean a fat ankle, whereas mine are too skinny, but still I hate that. However my legs are slim and quite a nice shape overall, and when I put a skirt and heels on I can see they look quite nice. Maybe I should have made more of their positive points and ignored the bad points...
ReplyDeleteI mean I think they are too damn short, others haven't said that, although they have said they are quite short lol
ReplyDeleteOne of the most important parts of a woman's legs are slim ankles, and yours are skinny as you say, perfect, who cares that you don't have a protruding bone, it must make the ankles appear even slimmer. Just wear skin colored (comfortable) heels, with a poufy dress and no one will notice.
ReplyDeleteOh, what do you mean by "this blog is feeding an obsession"?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, only in a fun way lol
