Thanks to the team at the new petite site, being called Shorty Pantz isn't such a bad thing. I got the chance to ask Christina Marie about her new site and e-zine Shorty Pantz. It's another great resource for us petite ladies. Here's what I found out:









PF: When did you start Shorty Pantz and how did you get the idea?

Shortypantz.com was born December 15, 2007. I had been thinking of the concept of an e-zine for chic petite women for over a year by this time, and I decided in the fall of 2007 that it was about time to make my dream a reality. As a graphic & web designer with a passion for unique fashion, I realized that there was a lack of resources for petite women online. I wanted to start something that would bring petite women together through an online community and resourceful e-zine. Hence, Shortypantz.com was born!


PF: Who are the owners?

Christina Marie Dennis - Editor-in-chief - Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada
Elaine Walton - Executive Editor - Edmonton, Alberta, Canada


PF: Are you petite? If so, how "tall"?

Yup! Both Christina & Elaine are 5'3".


PF: What do you recommend to the PF readers?

Since we're a new e-zine, we're looking for petite women with a passion for fashion, health & general petite issues to write for us! If you're interested, please contact us at editor@shortypantz.com.


PF: Can you offer any tips and advice for personal style or dressing the petite woman?

Don't walk away from the perfect clothing item just because the sleeves or legs are a little too long. Tailors can work wonders, and so can a sewing class!


PF: What are some exciting things happening for the readers to take advantage of or look forward to?

Look for our Spring Issue coming in March 2008! This issue will be full of wonderful petite fashion advice, helpful stories, and will focus on "Shorties that came before us" (a tribute to petite women in our lives that have made an impact).
