Is it just me or does Pippa Middleton have very short legs?

Either that or her torso is abnormally long. Picture taken from here.

Also known as Knightley Syndrome round our way (well by me at least)

PC, all i can say is aaargh!.

Pavlov's Cat said...

I take it you went looking for confirmation then

WitteringsfromWitney said...

C'mon MW, like the rest of us, you just want to know if they will go round your neck!

As afterthough, WV was sabath - does she come under what I would have to give up for the sabbath?

Pavlov's Cat said...

The Ex used to have those proportions, it was quite amusing really (before I found out she was Satan's Handmaiden)

Sitting at dinner, from the waist up she looked like a normal person, but if you looked under the table, her feet didn't touch the floor.

These are the ladies that will perch on the edge of the sofa, rather than sit back properly for the same reason.

She would refer to herself as 'Tibically challenged'

More importantly, PV - did her legs go round you neck............ ?

C'mon, do tell..... please?

They seem to reach the ground ok

@WfW I can't remember I have used Industrial Strength Mind Bleach and techniques perfected by the North Koreans in brain washing, to remove that part of my life.

I doubt if I did though, as I was on call most of the time and needed to hear the phone.

My Golden Rule is that both legs must reach the ground.....

Oh. That sounds paraplegist. If you took it that way, I didn't mean it that way.

CR.

Haven't you noticed that all women are like that? When they sit next to you, they're as tall as you. When they stand, they're shorter.

WitteringsfromWitney said...

@JH: Fanny you should mention that... :)

Mark Wadsworth said...

PC, re Satan's Handmaiden, that's a nice bit of alliteration, as it reminds me of somebody else with Knightley Syndrome.

WFW, I wasn't thinking of anything remotely smutty, I just still subscribe to the old fashioned prejudice that long legs = attractive.

Ch, I refer you to CR's comment. That's not really a relevant criteria.

JH, compared to me, most people are like that.

It's commonly known as a dog's body syndrome, I have the same problem but without the hair, the face, the fanny, the money, the sister, the brother-in-law, nor the arse.

Mark Wadsworth said...

Anon, sure, sure, but do you have the cute dimples at least?

Antony said...

Personally, I cannot see what others do in Knightly. Altogether far too much "teeth" for me.

Portman, on the other hand...

*sigh*

James Higham said...

And another thing - I just found this, from a KM post:

Mark Wadsworth

KM is one of those people about whom we know so little, that whatever you say about her says more about you than about her.

My view is that her legs are too short and her face is slightly wonky, make of that what you will.

Hmmm.

Mark Wadsworth said...

JH, did I really say that I though her face was slightly wonky?

Mark Wadsworth said...

Anon, I thought that Knightley and Portman were effectively the same person. Either way, Portman wasn't at the front of the queue when they were handing out legs either. Probably because Jessie J pushed her way in or something.

Pavlov's Cat said...

Just a thought, maybe it's one of those physiques that just film's / Photo's better ( in the right setting of course)

You know like, you'd expect actors to be Tall & handsome. But when you meet /see them in the flesh they are actually average or below average height, with great big wobbly heads.

but put them on a cinema screen and the ladies all swoon.

Mark Wadsworth said...

JH, the penny has dropped, KM is Kate Middleton, who does indeed have a wonky face.

PC, that's great for close ups but not for distance shots.

That's a great website, Chuckles.

Bayard,

Yup, I have the highest regard for John Brignell. He's a beacon of sanity and reason in the fields of science and engineering.
