We're not talking about Hobbits
We're talking about Haubbits
It's a term UdoR coined to describe short models who insist on holding on to the delusion that they will "CHNAGE TEH WORLDZ OMGWTFBBQ!!!111eleventy-one!" and "storm the runways for all short women!"
Note that the term isn't a derogatory reference to all short models, just a reality slap for the delusional ones.

BTW, calling people "dumbass" is against the rules.

Up front I admit that I have not read the entire thread.  I do see girls saying if I wear heels that are X tall or platform heels or whatever I can be just as tall.  While this is technicaly true don't you think it would throw the proportions off?  You can't just add 6 inches to your legs and think that the gowns and such will suddnly fit.  What are you going to do when the waist line of the gown is even with your ass because it was designed for someone with longer proportions?  I'm short I am 5'3

Why are you bothered about it? They can insist all they want but the truth is they won't be hired on a larger show....What's your point? If you see one on some sort of a runway what is YOUR issue with it?

he didn't say he was bothered. why can't someone ask a question? why do people like you have to immediately try and make threads hostile.

why are you bothered by him asking?

No- It's Haubbit young Haubbit. Haubbit as in Hauute Couture Hobbit.

A term created in my honor by Udo for deluded people like yourself who think they have a right to walk a runway.

You don't. It's a job with specific qualifications that you don't match.

Now go play in a field Haubbit before I throw you to an Orc
