Naked Amazons
Well, not really. I exaggerate for effect I suppose.  But here's the thing - I live in a city of over 80,000 people and when I shop I find all kinds of clothing for people of average height and weight.  So far, so good.  I also find almost every store in town has a section for "petites" (I was bigger than petite when I was born!) and another section for, shall I say, "healthy" women of girth and strength. 

However, I am taller than the average woman and cannot find any clothing, especially pants, which go from my waist to my shoes.  I am tall and I like my pants long enough and maybe a little longer to allow for heels, boots, etc.  And don't even get me started on the subject of bathing suits. Am I the only tall woman in a population of 80,000? I think not.  So where's our "department," our store, our customer service.  Yes, I am whining.  Amazons of the world unite!

You were really born in 44? Well, I don't think amazons were known for their height particularly:P More for their feminism and boob issues(like cutting one off to use bow and arrows better). But, I know how you feel about being tall...at least in the frog-legs department. Small upper body and long legs do not a clothing store accomodate. Though they sell Tall sizes, it still does not work with my waist size.

I would also like to take this time to speak out about men and women being couples that are close if not identical in height:P I heard tall women and ran in here about to shout "Where?! Where?!":P(considering how many women I find who are 5'3" or shorter).
