She Said It


"I have had my struggles. I am five foot, two inches and in Mexico it was important to be tall. I grew up in a world where beauty was not only tall, it was white and blonde with blue eyes. And I'm dark, have brown eyes and brown hair and I'm short. People used to say that the short thing was a deformity. I was really upset about my height."

~ Salma Hayek

What's she talking about? Mexicans are, in general, far from tall people. 5'2" is a normal height for a Mexican woman.

In that case, I'm normal height for a Mexican woman! (Even though I'm Italian)
