Crossdressers 5'2 and below

Wow the cartoon is straight out of the book 'How to lie with statistics' visual propaganda illustrations - the tallest model is the only one with a proportional adult head and who is apparently tall enough to wear a dress and strut her stuff. (Would be fun to put head number 1 on model number 9). 

What the cartoon actually does is illustrate it's about proportionality (amazingly, shorter models tend to have heads in proportion...), style and overall look. 

Arguing from history/previous cultures is always dodgy; we're talking about now.  It would also be interesting to know what proportion of models here (or modelling jobs) are catwalk-type requiring a minimum height. 

At the moment, I'm getting ready for a couple of retro-themed shoots, and amongst the props are magazines from the 1900s-1930s full of diminuitive models.  Historically, there was more of a crossover between acting and modelling - the actresses modelling for perfume, cigarettes etc. 

This is Veronica Lake from 70 years ago.  She was 4' 11" 
 
 

Similarly with 5' 2" Eva Longoria: 
 


I'm not a fashion/catwalk photographer.  My images can end up in magazines, on book covers, CD albums.... etc.  Clients like the images or they don't.  Never been asked for a tape measure. 

This is a 5' 1" model.  Trust me, she is perfectly proportioned and quite a few taller models wish they looked like her.
