[http://www.yourgossipfix.com/2009/11/amazon-eve/](http://www.yourgossipfix.com/2009/11/amazon-eve/) I myself am 6’5"…but she’s also wearing heels, and with the paralax, they’re probably 8 inch heels. What’s wild is, she appears to be normally proportioned…perhaps it’s all the hormones in our meat? ---

An interesting body, for sure. Her face doesn’t look too attractive from what I can tell, though. Not to me, I mean. Of course, I have eccentric taste.

> [@Smeghead](#): > > :rolleyes: Or maybe the government tinkered with her DNA. Or maybe she was exposed to radiation, or electromagnetic forces. Or a demon. Pish, you’re making the invalid assumption that, since I wrote it down, I was _serious_. I blame fluorescent lights and high tension power wires for your lack of humor. I haven’t heard her voice, but I’d imagine since it’s scaled up by 20%, it’ll be 20% (or some mathematically determinable percentage for the mathematically anal) lower. AFA her Face is concerned, Sure, it’s not the most attractive, but what’s so amazing is how normal she looks. She’s just **scaled up**. As opposed to the tall folks you’re used to seeing in the Guinness Book. ---

The “Guinness Book” look is due to a pituitary gland condition called [acromegaly](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromegaly). Basically, when you have extreme pituitary growth, your nose, lips, tongue, lower jaw, hands and feet grow disproportionately, your heart becomes weaker than normal, and your speech is muffled and slurred. You needn’t be super big to have this. [Rondo Hatton](http://thehumanmarvels.com/blog/?p=850), the famous B-movie actor, had it too. It overtook him in his 20s and completely changed his appearance. ---
