long elegant legs

Tall, leggy, and proportionately thin: this is the shape that our culture holds up as its beauty ideal, while at the same time dismissing it as unrealistic. The trouble is, long legged women with regular-sized waistlines are real. There may not be that many of us, but we exist, and we’re tired of not being able to find clothes that fit. We’ve learned not to complain about it too loudly, though, because whining about how hard it is to find pants that are long enough, with a small enough waist, is a surefire way to earn dirty looks in most company. Thank goodness for the Internet. Here, no matter what kind of statistical anomaly you are, you can find people like you, and people who understand.
