Anyhow, it begs the question... Assuming La Femme is correctly proportioned, why the buggering chuff did Gabe make her so tall? Most women aren't that tall; in fact, most men aren't that tall, worldwide. Men in the UK average 6 feet, in the US, it's about 5' 10". Some North European countries have tall men and women but, by and large (pun not intended), women are generally smaller than men. Imagining La Femme in its default state as being yer average American female, she should come in at around 5' 6" at most.
Now, I'm not a tall guy; at best I was 5' 8", which was, at the time, the lower height limit for UK Firefighters. I didn't join 'em, as it happens, but I was accepted. Nowadays, old age, hard work and poverty have taken their toll and I'm around 5' 5" on a good day. Claire is 5' 8", which is quite tall for a woman, and the lady I was with before Claire was a rare - for a woman - 6' 1", and in her heels, around 6' 6". But, as I said before, that's rare. Mind you, it did mean I got a face full of boobies when we hugged, so it wasn't a bad deal at all. :D
Me point is, though, tall women ain't the usual thing. It's all well and good saying stuff about "Idealized" and whatnot but even artist's canons follow the guide that women, in general, are shorter than men, and men, as a rule are around 6 feet tall.
