Beyond classic "landmarks"

[truepeacenik]

Ok, I'm at classic, despite three trims (I've been here a while) and I'm wondering how to set mini goals from here.
i'm thinking fingertip, knee, mid calf, ankle, floor...

BUT these are far apart from each other. All my height (that's a tad misleading-I'm short) is in my legs. the fingertip/ knee/ mid calf are about 6 inches apart.
To compare, waist to hip is not worth measuring on me.

are there other points I'm obviously not seeing?

Well, before fingertips you've got thumbs.

[kwaniesiam]

And before thumbs, you've got wrists ;)

I suppose between mid-thigh, you can call it quarter thigh? Then knee, bottom of knee, top of calf, mid calf, bottom calf, ankle, etc. There was a big and rather humorous list of the various lengths from bald to trailing on the floor. What ever happened to that?

[trolleypup]

Non-artificial minigoals are few and far between classic and ankle.

Classic
Past Classic/Upper Thigh
Mid Thigh
Lower Thigh
Top of Kneecap
Knee
Bottom of Kneecap
If you have enough definition, you might get a couple mini-goals out of Calf
Ankle
etc.

One of my favorite lengths is "longer than shorts." Of course this length can vary, depending on the length of your shorts, but that's part of its beauty! Buy a skimpy pair of shorts and you'll reach it fast.

Do you mean this one (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=24)? ;)

I suppose you could do 1st set of knuckles, 2nd set of knuckles, fingertips to break that up.

Apart from that I can think of many, unless you have some moles on your legs or something you can use as a landmark.

I was going to suggest wrist but then I checked where it was on me and it's only halfway between TB and classic on me.

Interesting, I just checked and found out that:
my wrist: top hip or perhaps the beginning of BCL
my thumb: tbl
my pinky: classic
my middle fingertip: slightly above mid-thigh (I have ingrown nails that are shorter than my tips)

I'm at Me length! :cheese: I love it!

On the way to Fingertip I made up Palm length, which fell past Classic on me. I thought of socks as I went through the Calf abyss but not boots! This list is a treasure :D

lol I feel like this is a bucket list that I have to cross one by one :)
I just passed tailbone and on my way to classic.

Copy+paste the quoted text into a Word document, or print/save a PDF of the linked archive page are some ways you could save it :) Bookmarking the page works too!

[MusicalSpoons]

Baaaahahaha I love it! :bounce:

I have actually used items of clothing past knee length, let's see if I can remember …
Capri leggings just past knee
Big duvet coat just past knee
Tall boots
¾ length leggings at calf
My dressing gown
Normal sock length
Full leggings length/Trainer sock length

Not forgetting my knee-high stripy socks where each stripe is progress!

Before that I divided my thighs into quarters which very conveniently worked out at 3" between each, and originally I was going to divide knee-ankle into quarters but then items of clothing turned out to be more useful and fun so I used those instead. Oh yes, and the first time I felt my hair on my calves was a wonderful milestone too.

I also sometimes still surprise myself with my hair being longer than dresses and ¾ length trousers. Great fun.

I'm at the top of my ankle bone now, after proper ankle length will be 'caught in the heel of my slipper', then floor, maybe treading on it if I don't chop back straight away … oh heck, have I just given myself another goal? :bigeyes: :rollin:

Hilarious!
I just love the way back machine, so useful.

[SandyBottom]

I'm at lower thigh/modest shorts length/just past fingertip. I thought I was almost at knee (crease) length in a couple of inches or so, but now I see there are so many more milestones before getting there!
