Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Nah, because you have too much fabric on one side, which can be hemmed easily, but you can't make fabric out of nothing.

But pants that are designed for taller people have problems besides the length. I've tried on plenty of pairs of pants where the waistband ended up somewhere around my bra band. Well-made petite pants also have a shorter rise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Vortex, I meant petite/regular v regular/long. Of course it doesn't help when brands don't sell longs.

ita, you know I love to hug you.

It's also build. I don't have big hips and have no rear, but really long legs for my height.

This is why I don't bother!

But I don't want to be taller just for the pants!

I can't stop creating roller derby names.

'Cuz you're awesome at it! You should think up roller derby names for msbelle and ita and rio.

I can't believe Skanky McFarland hasn't been registered. Maybe too obscure?

Generational thing, I expect.

sarameg, I think you're pretty photogenic.

But I don't want to be taller just for the pants!

Right, there's the whole looming thing which is hard to do at 5'4".

Oooh, look how I snuck the quotes marks inside the end-stop there.

not your mom's socks.

At just under 5'1", I think I can safely say pants must not fit anyone.

Very much this. Though I'm currently liking a pair of Columbia hiking pants. I think they're supposed to be cropped though. NSM, and I'm fine with that.

Oh we can loom. It's just subtle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I could be a roller derby coach, not so much a skater.

Oh yeah, msbelle would rock at that!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I just realized that Google Maps has at least two streets wrong in my neighborhood. Both of them are dead ends that the map shows continuing and intersecting other streets. I remember the GPS getting one of them wrong, too, when it said to keep going on a street that ended. Weird.

There may have been an extension planned at some point that never happened.
