Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I am only 5'8½ " (or at least I used to be), but in the early 70's, as some of you may recall, platform shoes were the style. I had some that were 5½ " tall, so when I wore them, I was 6'2 " . With long (yes, bell-bottom) pants, you couldn't really tell that the shoes were platform shoes. I was also about 160# at that time. A woman friend and I were in New Orleans for a convention, and visited a female impersonator joint. As we were leaving, the " greeter " said, " Come back and see us again, ladies. " I replied, in my deepest voice, " I'm coming back tomorrow night to audition. " His jaw dropped, and he said, " You're hired! " I've had a lot of fun re-telling that story over the years. --- Start weight 365# Lap RnY, Distal - Dr. s Vanderbilt University Hospital Surgery date June 3, 2002 Current weight 208# ----- Original Message ----- > I lived in Taiwan for 5 years.
