The Plight of the Short

So, I was taking some pics with a friend (the person i wanted to shove angel wings on for the Silence type picture) and the pose I have, i realized, made my shortness bad. It was awkward until my friend generously shortened himself so that it wasn't so awkward. I probably could've made myself taller, but I'm a realistic height...he wasn't at that very moment. So, I guess that makes sense, yes. But it got me thinking of all the other pose balls and such that make realistic height not so good.
Let's face it, nearly everyone in SL is a giant. I'll admit, in my RP, I am, too. But I have a reason: half-elf. OOC, I'm a completely normal height. A bit taller than RL only because if i went any shorter I'd be called a child avi and...I don't feel like dealing with that. Some poses allow for shorter people and such, but...there's enough that don't. Like...a while ago I was dancing with someone for an OOC-type party I let him drag me to and...I hovered above his feet. He and i both were realistic sizes, yet I still hovered. My slider is at about 5'4 (not sure what that is in meters) which is my height and...I'm a normal size for someone my age. Hell, I'm at least an inch taller than some of my friends.
I get that SL is to be who you aren't (at least for some, for me, unless I'm RPing, I'm me) but, really? Who wants to be six foot and hit your head on everything?
Then there's also the whole waist and breast size thing, especially with mesh (though I usually can fit just fine if I use an alpha and sometimes even without), everything wants to make people the same. Yes, you can find some things that don't make you have to conform...but, really?
Sadly, i don't have any pics of this...but I think a few of you will get my point.

Cheers for Easter!- Something New

So, Something New has got some new things and a couple of them are pretty neat. Well, actually I liked them all, to be perfectly honest, but I'm a friendless- Ah, no, that's wrong, all my friends in SL are just people who are over in Europe and were asleep when i took these pics. Actually I should've been asleep with how late I did this myself, but...well, I'm not that sensible. But there was a version of the Easter prop which is for couples (aww) but I had to do the single's one as well as there was another couple one and a friends one.
 Seeing as SL was deciding to be mean, I couldn't get the bunny ears and tail I wanted to use. So sad about that...but, here's the poses anyhow for the single's Easter Bridge prop. I think they're kind of cute. Also something worth note: I'm short by SL standards (5 foot something) and I had really no issue with really all of the poses, so that's a plus for all you other shorties out there who have issues with say...danceballs and other such things.

All these? Mah eggs!

Aw, doesn't the chick look so happy? And it's not running from me!

Waiting for Easter to actually get here.

Again, SL was mean to me so i couldn't have pom-poms for the cheer poses. I decided to have impromptu pom-poms... I think they work, at least as magical energies balls, no? The pictures include both cheer pose sets.

Cheer Set 1, Pose 1
Powerful energy balls and...helicopter spin maybe?
