Little and petite has it’s drawbacks too...like RK said, if you gain a few pounds, it’s noticeable...and you can’t reach anything on the upper shelves (and why do stores always put their smallest sizes on top and the large sizes on the bottom? I’ve never figured that out but many stores have lost sales from me because I can’t reach the clothes in my size and there’s no one around to help me get them!) You also have to have the seat of your car almost up to the dash in order to reach the pedals and see over the dash...nothing fits right, I have to buy my glasses in the youth section (my current pair is actually a Hannah Montana frame! Yuck!) But there are worse things to be afflicted with than being vertically challenged so I just try to laugh about the inconveniences!

Oh I totally agree!! Shops ALWAYS put the tall sizes on the bottom! Just this week I was at Old Navy and all the "longs" are on the bottom shelves. Now that so many places have online shops, they don't stock tall or long sizes in the regular store either (I suspect it's the same for petites, too). I was in The Gap looking through every single pair of pants for my size in long. One of the sales girls finally told me that they didn't carry "specialty sizes" in that store anymore. They are online only. It was a smaller Gap, so maybe it's different at other ones.

Michael Jackson’s Songs Waiting For Posthumous Release

http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2009/03/01/michael_jackson_s_songs_waiting_for_post

Michael Jackson has recorded more than 100 songs in secret - but is refusing to release the tracks until after his death, according to a biographer.

The Thriller singer has amassed a stack of tunes but only wants them to be heard by his children - Prince, 11, Paris Katherine, 10, and five-year-old Prince Michael II - after he dies, according to Ian Halperin, author of forthcoming book Unmasked, The Michael Jackson Story.

Halperin says, “I was astonished by the number of songs which have been held back. I was told that he will not let them come out now but wants to leave them for his kids, a very personal legacy to them.”
