    I'll venture 5' 9" but she looks shorter in the pictures. The most important thing is, of course, that she has a Happy Birthday!

    Based on the measurement of 11" from top of head to top of shoulders, she looks to be roughly 5 ft. tall.

    That's a very rough estimate mind you, but she looks to be about five times that measurement in the last picture.

    I count 9 sets +/- from hem to shoulder. Allowoing for mercator distortions to subtract 2.5 inches at the hips and shoulders, I make it 9 x 6.5 = 58.5 - 2.5 = 56 +3 +11 = 70". A tall lady.

    "Right....what's a cubit?" -Noah

    5' 3".

    She's a pixie.

    Happy day to all. We're waiting to see if it's cool enough to dress properly for dinner out. After living here for 10 years, anything above 60 degrees seems too hot.

    Cheers,

    Kevin.
