Still Waters Posted September 20, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2011 A dancing, cheerleading 2ft tall American has been named world's shortest living woman by Guinness World Records. Bridgette Jordan, 22, from Sandoval, Illinois, stands 2ft 3in (69cm) and also holds the record for shortest living siblings with her 20 year-old brother Brad. Standing at a comparatively lofty 3ft 2in (96.5cm), Mr Jordan lists his hobbies as basketball, karate and gymnastics. Music-lover Ms Jordan also likes to stay active and often spends time dancing and cheerleading. On her record-breaking achievement Ms Jordan said: ''It feels awesome. It's great to be small. I believe that everyone should be confident in themselves.'' Her brother added: ''Hopefully this will go a little way to helping people realise it's Okay to be different.'' Read more...

Robbie333 Posted September 20, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 20, 2011 It seems we could all learn from them. It seems their hearts and minds are much bigger than most people I have met. God love them I say and I wish them all they want from life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very specific kind of dwarfism. Even those who are from different families look like they're related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
