Has anyone else noticed that being scrawny (like a model) makes a woman’s head look big? Feet too, but their heads are more obvious. I was over in San Francisco, near Union Square, and saw a crew doing a shoot. As the model was posing I noticed that her head looked _really_ big! I had noticed this before in photos and such, but it was much more obvious in person.  
So I began looking more closely at overly thin women, and it was so! All their heads, and feet, and hands too, looked overly huge. It may be that most are prety tall, and their extremities are proportioned to their height.  
Watch that stupid model show on tv and it’s very obvious.  
Is one’s head an extremity?  
Peace,
