... no, that's not just the biggest set of coincidences ever. xD When figuring out my characters' heights, I specifically look up the PB's height and use that. Then I base the character themself around the height; if the height absolutely doesn't work with my thoughts on the character, chances are that I'd actually change the PB instead of changing the height. Which, admittedly, is one thing I miss about my no-PB AOL days, because then I could make the characters any ol' height and not worry about comparing it to the PB (it was also a better exercise of my descriptive skills because, without pictures to reference what my PB looked like, I actually had to describe them).

	It's funny that you actually take the PB's height into consideration when deciding if you want to keep them or not. I just look at the PB's face and expressions to decide if I want to use them or not! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Haha. Well, I figure that in pictures and such, you'd be able to tell if, say, you were using a 5'7" PB for a 5'2" character, or something, and I'm actually that anal. xD Like, when I was apping Sally at a game that already had a Blake Lively PB in it, I had such a hard time finding a PB, because I needed someone tall and blonde with a lot of :D faces, and I just couldn't find anyone else who fit the bill. I finally had to suck it up and knock her down to 5'6", because that was the height of the replacement PB, and it drove me nuts that she was suddenly four inches shorter.
