She's Got Short Legs HNT

I've never done an HNT with my legs because frankly, they are not my best feature. This week I thought I would have a go at it.

I can say that in all my life, I've never been called "stretch", "legs" or "leggy." I have never been asked, "how's the weather up there in the clouds, stringbean?" I never have that problem of my pants being too short, in fact, I can buy capris and wear them as regular pants! I am 5' 1", my legs are short, that's all there is to it.

They both work swell though, and I am grateful for both of them! Besides, I'd look pretty funny with long legs and a short torso!
Anyway, I had some more fun with my fabric stash, and here we have the little short legs all dolled up in some silk! LOL
Don't even ask me how I got these "special effects", because you know what? I have no idea! Sometimes art just happens!

Darling, the legs aren't so beautiful, I just know what to do with them.

I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box.

How long should a man's legs be? Long enough to touch the ground.

Oh my God those legs! Homina! Homina! Homina!

Ain't nothin' wrong with short legs. Yours look like they're having a lot of fun in that silk.

And if you were to ask these guys, they'd definitely agree with you that art happens.

Happy HNT!

Those are pretty gorgeous, slender legs for a short girl. Not stumpy at all. ;) Trust me, I'm 5'2". Is it just me or are short length pants getting shorter?

Breazy said...

You have beautiful legs ! I am only one inch taller than you. When I was younger and I complained about being shorter than everyone else my would say " Heather , your legs are as long as everyone elses" I would say " How do you figure Mom" and she would say "They go from your ass to the ground!" LOL! I won't tell you what she told me when I asked her why she named me Heather! LOL! I love the pics ! Have a great weekend ! Happy HNT!

...before art school, when a wee lad, I remember trying to tell the church elders why I felt led to go off and be a figure painter.
'...they're not Nakeds, they're Nudes,,, big difference.'
Nakeds are sort of tawdry, scrawny and in need of clothing, shelter, darkness, -perhaps a cheese sandwich and a milkshake...'

Nudes are lush, they are spectacular and vibrant, they are glorious, they celebrate creation, as a sunset is an aria on a mountain side, and casts every rock in a firey coral blush.

you just did that.

(had I shown them these pictures, with the stunning quotes,
-would they have changed their minds?
-oh heck no.

-but at least I would be able to look and say, '...so this is what we're aiming at...'

frame 'em, kid, captions and all.
-mount 'em and frame 'em.
you just did art.
