It's not difficult to see from where Miss Covette's appeal comes. Being over average height for a human female can be limiting and intimidating. Not to mention finding clothing - nothing comes off the rack!

A Canadian done did good!

The only time this Canadian did anything memorable was when I mooned the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa. Want to meet the people in various career positions that help keep us safe? Moon the U.S. Embassy and you will be the centre of attention for a few hours.

The high heels were really unnecessary. If she wore some kind of slippers instead, maybe she would move less like a stick and more like a woman. However, there is no helping this "fumbling at the dress" move. She would have been better off working in a store that stocks dresses up to the ceiling.

Yudith, did you read the obituary? This is telling: "She grew up wanting to be a singer and dancer, and despite not possessing natural talent for either, she succeeded in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry through hard work, professionalism and training."
