Oh, interesting! Hmm, gonna be pondering this for awhile now. I think my feet are about average length, though a bit on the wide side, and my toes are a bit longer than average relative to the rest of my feet. Hips are about average, I think -- although since I'm a bit skinnier than average, and have a ruler body type, they look smaller, as does my bust -- and length of torso. Legs are a bit longer than average, I'm told, but not dramatically so. I'm 5'7, which is about three inches taller than the average American woman, but only an inch and a half taller than the average white American woman, so that's pretty close.

An artist friend said I was a bit boring to draw because my face is proportioned a lot more exactly along textbook lines than most, and so was actually unusual in hitting the average proportions to start with, rather than everything averaging out in the balance. So my face, I guess, as well?

(Tangentially, whenever the discussion of your and my relative heights comes up, I invariably end up grinning like an idiot because I also remember the time you realized we were totally Pinky and the Brain. NARF!)
