I leave at like 4am on Saturday! I would leave tomorrow, but I have to go see a production of Aida with my (gay) boy (his brother is Radames!) tomorrow night!

Yeah, I know what you mean, Kels! All the chunkier girls can play Tracy in Hairspray, and the skinny girls can play most romantic leads, but for girls who are in between like me, I won't be able to get any roles until I'm forty! My body type is a very hourglassy kind of shape, with broad shoulders-- definitely not a dainty little ballerina! (Which is good, because I'd never work for the romantic leads-- too goofy and clowny!)

I mean, the fact that I look older than I am works for me now because I can play all of these wonderful juicy middle-aged roles, but when I'm in my twenties and acting with actual adults, you bet they're not going to consider me for those parts-- they're cast actual forty-something women.

Schmerg - I hear ya girlfriend!

The only good roles I have had are Judy in a Chorus Line (they had to put me somewhere since I could outdance the skinny girls ), Lucy in Charlie Brown, and Rizzo in Grease.

Oh, I've played my share of ditzes, because they're comic relief! But let's just say that I'll never be Christine in Phantom of the Opera, or anyone that any male character has to sing lush, romantic ballads about!

I wouldn't want a different body type, though. I like the hourglassy look.

Schmerg, same here. I've got super, and I mean SUPER broad shoulders. In high school people used to ask me all the time if I was a swimmer or if I ran track because of my body type. If my parents had let me join the theater club there's no doubt that I'd have been cast as a middle aged woman or someone's mother because I was really tall compared to the other girls.

I'm hourglassy too, Schmerg and tofu. I don't have broad shoulders, but I've got serious baby-making hips. I was also cursed with average-sized boobs and no ass. Ah, curves in all the wrong places. tofu, we tall girls have to stick together! What's your height?

I'm hourglassy to the max! I have a big butt, small waist, and huge boobs (seriously they're like clown boobs). And I'm short.... I'm 5ft 2 :-p

Jag, I'm just a tad taller than 5'9" which I'm really happy with because my feet would look ridiculous if I were a smaller girl (size 10) My family affectionately calls them water skis I guess from the outside looking in my boobs seem to fit my overall body shape, my ass also looks pretty good in a pair of SJP's Bitten jeans. And let's just say when it comes to the waist department...Mama's got HIPS!!!

I love my heels so much that I tend to tower over people which I suppose can be a bit daunting for some when I'm talking to other girls because almost everyone I meet is like 4'11"- 5'5". Don't get me wrong I've got love for the vertically challenged ladies, it's just every once in awhile I'd like to feel like the "dainty" one (which I'm not). This is all my biological father's fault...that S.O.B is around 6'7"!!!!

I am totally with you, tofu. I'm 5'10" and love heels. I tend not to wear them too often though, because I feel so ridiculous. Size 10 feet are not big, especially not for a tall chick! I have a friend who's about 5'5", and wears size 12s. Absolutely hilarious.

6'7"? Wow! I'm not sure where I got my height. My mom's 5'7", so a little on the taller side, but my dad's only 5'10". He's short for a dude!

[killertofu333]

Good Lord, 5'5" and size 12 shoes?! I know she caught non-stop sh*t in high school. Because as we all know kids can be very cruel and unimaginative at that age.

Growing up I thought my mom was the tallest woman alive!! She was 5'7" like your mom. By the time I turned 15 and topped her by an inch I felt like a giant. I'm not self conscious about my height anymore because now a days people REALLY don't wanna f*ck with me. Even though I'm generally a nice person, it's good to know people won't try to screw with me all the time.

This is true! Being a giant does have its advantages.

Ok! So that shirt I showed you all, it didn't come in first
So cross your fingers that it comes in second so I can buy it tomorrow!

My feet are ridiculous. I'm five-foot-four-and-a-half, but my feet are size four-and-a-half, and I have the smallest hands of anyone I know. They just stopped growing when I was in fourth or fifth grade.

My dad's five-eleven, and my mom's five-ten, and my younger brother's five-ten, so I'm not sure why I'm on the shorter side of the spectrum, or why I have puny little feet and hands.

Schmergy I have super small hands too. My 9 year old cousin has larger hands than me! But my feet are a normal 7 for being 5"1'.

And update on Peter Pan, I will be playing the role of Tiger Lily for the second time in my life LOL

Happy Friday everyone. It's raining here again....Hope everyone is gearing up for a great weekend!

and chiming in on the random height info - I'm 5'8". Lots of tall girls in this thread!

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

Congrats on the role, Blondebaby, even though it's not the one that you necessarily wanted!

You'll have a lot of little girls who idolize you, at least! When I saw Peter Pan at a high school when I was five, the idea of a grown-up teenage girl playing a boy scared me so much, and I'm not sure why. I only liked Tiger Lily-- and then that summer, she was a waitress at Denny's and I recognized her and asked her for her autograph!

HAHAHAH that's hilarious! And thanks Schmerg I just wish that I could have at least been called back for Peter, but I'm super happy with Tiger Lily!

BB, Let me know when and where it is! I will definitely come!

[StockardFan]

Posted: 4/3/09 at 8:39am

Congrats, BB!

OK. So I'm 5'6". 134 lbs. Smallish boobs, scrawny chicken legs, but I have had a bit of a belly since giving birth. What else. Oh yeah. Size 8 shoe.

Danmag, it's not until November. The theater had auditions for the rest of the season all at once just to get everything cast and out of the way, so I don't start rehearsals until mid-September. It's at the Broadway Theater of Pitman in Pitman, NJ (right near Glassboro...Rowan University...if that rings any bells LOL)
