I agree with you that Elinor is taller Written by Outi (9/15/2009 3:11 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, I think Elinor is taller because..., penned by Reeba

if I read right your hilarious explanation :-D. Loved it!

I thought that Elinor had a more classical figure and was tall, and Marianne's striking figure meant that she was more curvaceous and sexy. I see them in a way as types like Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe, but both being dark haired. I don't mean they would look like GK and MM, but they are different in the way that the other is cool and calm and the other more hot and sexy.

Well, how muddled was that ;-)!
