This may depend upon build and other factors but can really tall people be attractive or just a novellty in a crowd?

Thurston Moore = Yum, 6'6".

― Andrew, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

we can be neither, you know.

― jess, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

petrajane is spunky.

― di, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

okay from now on i won't mention how spunky nz ilxors are.

― di, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah she is and dude she's 6', I'm amazed. There should be a thread SOLELY DEVOTED to how hot nzers are.

― Andrew, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

btw, it's probably me, but who is the tallest ilx related person?

― jess, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

6 ft women are the best!!

― Ron, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have to go to specialist shoe stores to put cloth on my feet and those places are full of tall ladies (well its makes sense doesn't it), if thats your thing of course!

― Chris, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

i hope so, because i am 5 11. and i'm 14 years old. but yeah what andrew said about thurston moore. especially in the video for superstar. do you know i have never actually seen a picture of petra without something covering her face?

― livvie, Friday, 16 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jess is Wilt the Stilt size. Beth Orton is a pretty sweet tall drink of water. Too bad her last two albums bit it.

i have never actually seen a picture of petra without something covering her face?

yeah cause she's a fundamentalist muslim

― unknown or illegal user, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

a interweb fundamentalist

― unknown or illegal user, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

i swear i saw a pic of petra jane somewhere, but i can't remember where. and i also can't remember it, so i guess i probably actually didn't.

― Ron, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh wow! i don't know any fundamentalists. what do they do? i have seen two photos of petra, however in one she has her hand over her face and in the other a camera. she is wearing a great 'come on die young' tshirt though.

― livvie, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh yeah they can...the thing is will they take a medium sized person (me!) as being attractive in return. would they want a taller person themselves.

All this discussion about petra's pics made me want to see one but then the info that she has a mogwai t-shirt was a big turn off. It's not all about physical attributes.

― julio Desouza, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

to see petra without her face : http://petrajane.com/nerd/pics.htm i can't be bothered doing html so cut and paste to see petra with face intact you will have to ask her herself, or someone that knows her. if you want to see her feet go to petrajane.com

― livvie, Saturday, 17 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

I will yet see Petra Jane in the FLESH. (Not in a crude way, you bastards.) And if she is 6' then I can look her in the eye, which is nice. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 17 August 2002 23:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

ned while yr in nz can you check if that's a star-wars type gun emplacement in that camel's eye, or is it just pleased to see us?

― mark s (mark s), Saturday, 17 August 2002 23:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Remind me when I'm there (my god! less than two weeks now! this is nuts, I can't believe it's actually happening :-) ).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 17 August 2002 23:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can't say I ever fancied Andre the Giant or Gheorghe Muresan, personally. I'm 5'7, and I've had sex with two people 8" or more taller than me, so I guess my answer is yes.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 18 August 2002 09:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well can short(ish) people be attractive? I'm 5'8". What is short? What is tall? Livvie yr pretty already, I doubt you'll have trouble being attractive. Sigh, I feel seedy again.

― Andrew Thames, Sunday, 18 August 2002 11:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

The SEEDINESS of Andrew. Don't worry, some find that appealing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 August 2002 16:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

short is definitely attractive. its all good. but whats more attractive is hairy brown forearms (on girls and boys). yummmm.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 19 August 2002 00:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

really short and really tall are k-rowr.

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 19 August 2002 00:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Di- same here! On girls only though, cos don't all boys have hairy forearms? I do. Yum indeed.

― Andrew Thames, Monday, 19 August 2002 01:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

yes but the brownness of the arms and the blackness of the hair is a factor.

― di smith (lucylurex), Monday, 19 August 2002 01:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

I don't think 5'8'' is short.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 19 August 2002 03:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

It's shortISH. It's short compared to Petra. Oddly though in general my friends, male or female, tend to be my height or shorter. Is this coincidence?

― Andrew Thames, Monday, 19 August 2002 03:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

Do you ever not feel seedy, Andrew? It's all so true, i'm freakishly tall for a girl, and a stone fox! *cough*

Tall is definitely attractive, and so is really teensy [like < 5'3" for girls. 5'8" for guys might juust scrape in there]. Maybe it builds character, what w the years of schoolyard teasing and also the dress-up fun of having to find non-generic-fashion-store clothes.

Oh, on the body-hair subthread, forearms are second only to fuzzy knees in the cuteness stakes.

― petra jane, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

My arms are the hairiest in the entire world! !!! or close to it. Thurston Moore looks exactly like what he did when he was 25 it scares me. I'd like to know where I come up to on him, I'm about 5'2".

― Elisabeth, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Am now imagining Thurston as a 'you must be THIS tall to ride this ride' mannequin...fetching.

― petra jane, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Where you'd be up to on Thurston... stop making me feel seedy!

― Andrew Thames, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'll do my best...just, uh, try not to imagine what sorta ride it'd be...

― petra jane, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Or how low his mannequin hand'd be... that's more than enough, Andrew...

― Andrew Thames, Monday, 19 August 2002 13:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

P'raps, but I thought those were Ranaldo's fault.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 August 2002 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hmmm...what other rides would the underground rock theme park have? The Radiohead Karma Police Chase? The Robert Smith emotional rollercoaster?

In the meantime, on occasion I have found some very tall people to be very attractive; therefore it is possible. (Of course, I have also found some short- and medium-height people to be attractive, as well.)

Ron's right (6ft. women are the best). Or taller ones.

thurston moore is ugly. not cos hes tall, but cos hes just ugly. that guy with the glasses was better looking, at least he is on the backcover of evol. probbly hes ugly now. okay now i finally get why petrajane is fascinated by my knees. elisabeth wow i am impressed!

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 22:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

at least there'd be no danger of thurston talking to our chests, E. (btw i am a mere 5'3" myself)

― di smith (lucylurex), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 23:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thurston needs a haircut. He reminds me of a beagle for some reason.

― petra jane (petra jane), Tuesday, 20 August 2002 23:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thurston definitely needs a haircut. Does his hair ever change? Why is Petra so into knees anyway? Di if you have hairy arms you might just be eligable for my hairy midgets club.

― Elisabeth, Wednesday, 21 August 2002 05:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hairy midgets? Starry to thread!

― petra jane (petra jane), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 08:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

err, um, i mean with the Hobbits thing not saying Sarah is a hairy midget...

uh, i'll be in the corner if anyone wants me.
