The models in Milan are like towers
Some time ago we came to the conclusion that models in Paris are a bit alien-like; well, in Milan they are human towers. Tall, very tall, enormous, extremely enormous. With legs that start at your waist level and make you look like you're from the beautiful country of Lilliput. I know you're thinking I'm exaggerating, so let's get down to business, and a picture is worth a thousand words (I absolutely love making cheap rhymes, and if I can do it while singing to the rhythm of a cheesy song, I consider it a small personal triumph. Does anyone watch Sean Combs' show about how to form a hip-hop group? I'm thinking of auditioning).
As I was saying, do you see this gorgeous woman? Doesn't the size of her hands make you suspect her vertical height?

She's taller than a traffic sign, by Jove! The perspective, yes, the perspective... trust me, she's bigger than a watchtower.
Do you see this other beauty talking on the phone? Doesn't the size of her femur make you suspect her longitudinal proportions?
Her legs start higher than a car's rearview mirror! The angle of the car, yeah, the angle of the car, I'm telling you she could change lampposts' lightbulbs without a ladder.
My favorite. Do you see this incredible woman? Doesn't the fact that men reach her shoulder height make you think it must be dizzying to live in her head?
No, because maybe they were short men and the perspective and... and... NO... in the next photo you'll see there's no trickery, she's taller than a big man on a bike!!
Of course, next to these Valkyries, the 1.80m ones are even short, though I'm still struck by how slender their thighs are...
...and their beautiful faces.
You can't be any prettier.
P.S.: I was at the Loverbooking over the weekend, incredible, I'll tell you about it. Malaga turned out in force and there were even queues to get in, it was crazy. The Rosenthal folks are mega-cracks.
P.S.2: Elena the whale told me when we met... "I thought you were taller"... :( mental note, never go to fairs without 10cm heels... even if my feet bleed, I want to be like a Milanese model.
P.S.3: Moniquilla of my love had her prints published in the prestigious magazine Texitura, ole!
P.S.4: I am a judge for the contest organized by Santa Mistura, giving away 50 euros to spend at MadforFashion for the best answer to "Who would you have tea with?" Today is the last day... play now!!
