Walking in the shoes of others...something i must practice more

I consider myself a taller than the average woman at the height of 5'8", but today walking down the street i managed to get into a mass of about 8 models and felt pretty darn short. How did i know they were models, well other than the fact that they were 6' +, sticks, wearing cropped jackets, black leggings, tights or nothing and enormous heels you start to assume.

This is when i started wishing i paid more attention to the models on Project Runway, or America's Next Top Model (although i'm pretty sure that's finished) because these are probably the only models who are a)poor enough that they are forced to walk amongst us "short" people b)not being harassed by the paparazzi and c)hanging out around Pratt/union square area.

Anyways, i felt kinda (but only a little bit) bad for them...soooo many people were gawking at the dolled up, skinny sticks as they paraded down the street...oh and it was freezing....why aren't they in more clothes they'll freeze to death, but i guess freezing to death is better than starving to death. I wonder which will happen first to these ladies? Not a life i envy.

ps: did i mention i'm a bad person...you'd never guess from this sweet face
