Trinny Woodall, bravely admits her long torso/short legs combination, and gives great advice in the book What not to Wear. Recently in her blog, Trinny discussed her body and weight loss in the above beach photo:
"some Paparazzi took a picture of me coming out of the sea with admittedly good abs, the end of my legs covered by water (thank god as it didn't show how short they are)". Regarding her weight loss she credited it to the Pilates she has been doing " I have to say it has turned me from a pear to a column but still with short legs"
