You could well be right about the boobage, ita. I had pert near no boobage at all in my teens.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
It is also boobage that makes it almost impossible to get cleavage.
I swear, every time I actually wear something that manages to give me cleavage I go all Willow and keep stealing glances. (Damn things usually point kind of east and west.)

Wait, they aired Forever Knight in Oz? When was this and where was I?
Leigh ... channel 9 aired it while it was being made and based on how old I perceive you to be, your Mum and Dad would've had you tucked up in beddy-byes b/c they screened it after midnight.

There is a preternaturally high boobage I associate only with teenhood (thought not all teens, by a long shot), that doesn't seem to make it to the early 20s. Which is good, because it looks funny.
(looks down)
So, like long, coltish legs, this is another thing I managed to completely miss about teenhood? Feh. (I'm irrationally bitter about this.)

If I only had a brain...
I read an essay once pointing out that the ideal Playboy girl has a figure that you have, if at all, only at the cusp of puberty/womanhood: large, high breasts, small waist, long slender legs. (Nowadays, of course, you have it at the cusp of plastic surgery; it's pretty standard for Playmates to be in a small spread, spend the money on surgery, and then graduate to Playhood.)
Then again, there was an amazingly stacked woman at the play last night: high, big, unsupported breasts, slender waist, curvy tush. I was envious.

So, um, we're talking Barbie, right?
No wonder I never even tried for the Playmate look.

Totally. It's no coincidence that one of Hef's favorite models ever (and longtime mistress) was Barbi Benton.

eta: talking about the high boobage, not the coltish legs.
Heh. Nope, I never had this. But I've noticed it on my sister (not in the bad way, pervs), who, if asked, will happily bitch about my boobage and her lack thereof. So maybe it's a trade-off.

Yes, but were there whortleberries?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister has coltish legs.
Huge boobs though, so she's not that sort either.
