Back in 2008, He Pingping and Svetlana Pankratova posed in Trafalgar Square in London for the Guinness Book Of Records. The world’s shortest man was just 29.37 inches tall, while her legs measured 51.96 inches. I would hope that he did not look up.
Sadly, He passed away two years later at the age of 21. But Svetlana is going strong at age 43, proving what we’ve known since 1942–that giraffe legs can be sexy at any age.

Maybe he looked up and died happy!

Svetlana better not go to Santa Fe by bus unless she can fold in half like a pocket knife. He Pingping, on the other hand, is the type of passenger I always hope will sit next to me on long flights but never happens. He Pingping even sounds like a little person’s name. Not to mention being easy to call…”Hey, Pingping, get over here.
(btw, Kerbey, you got a shout out on my blog today)

I bet, like Rodney Dangerfield, He (literally He) don’t get no respect. But I bet if he DID sit next to you, he couldn’t possibly eat all this in-flight meal, and you could either finish it off for him, or fashion a nice jacket for him out of the empty bag of peanuts.

cue the ZZ top gee-tar music! My what a tiny waist Bob’s friend has. And Svetlana? Definitely rocks the long legs. A Russian Amazon, that one.

Incredulously tiny waist. It’s like it’s not even real. 😉 And Liz, you know He Pingping is begging for a BoFN post.

I was watching an old interview with Carly Simon this morning. She knows how to use them, too.

Svetlana is the epitome of If You Got ‘Em, Flaunt ‘Em. Liz, you are correct. ZZ Top was dreaming of Svetty when they wrote their hit song. Tina Turner needed to recruit her as a backup dancer on her tour. Does Dancing with the Stars have a spot open? As for poor He Pingping, the little man went far too young. He knew how to sport some turned-up-toed shoes for a photo session, didn’t he?
Bob sang out, Do You Know the Way to Sante Fe? And Tiny Waister answered I’m Going Back Some Day, Yes I Am.

Holy cow. The man I’ve seen before, but Svetlana! Fifty two inch legs? There is absolutely nothing I can say without being considered a pig. Except. I bet she had a tougher time functioning in society than Pingping. But those legs… As for the Santa Fe bus line did it ever go through Santa Fe?

I take a bus into Manhattan every day and I can assure you there’s nothing “First Class” about it. Or low-cost. My pass is $390/month. It makes me WOOZY.
I love that they hyphenated “thru-out”

Jaw dropping. $400 a month?!!!! Who could afford that? That’s the electric bill and the water bill combined. Yikes! I haven’t been on a bus in decades, but we do have a light rail that zooms around. The bus is better than the subway or a cab, yes? It goes thru-out the city? 😉

It’s like having a car payment without the benefit of having the car. And a nice car, too! You can get a decent ride for $400/mo. Not a crappy Geo or anything like that. Could be worse. I could be driving into the city every day. I’d kill myself.
