1.This recent cover with Hilary Duff might have had you thinking, was this shot on the 7 ½ floor from the film Being John Malkovich? Why she bending over like this?
2.But the truth is, the cover of Cosmo has historically been too small for any normal-sized human being to be featured on it.
3.That's why Cindy Crawford had to lie down on the floor in 1991.
4.This model lit'rally had to tilt her head to the right so she wouldn't get cropped off the cover.
5.Cindy came back again and had to fucking slouch.
6.Another option would have been to just sit on the damn floor.
7.Sarah Michelle Gellar had a lot of training crouching to kill vampires on Buffy, so she just did the same at the Cosmo offices.
8.Hayley Williams leaned forward, but not enough, you can't see the crown of her head. Sad.
9.Fergie twisted and contorted herself so we could see her on this 2011 cover. Guess she really has been up in the gym working on her fitness. And her yoga.
10."How do you do? Don't mind my awkward posture."
11."If I pretend I'm actually putting on this shoe, this won't look awkward as fuck. Why is this ceiling so low?"
12."In my travels around the globe to adopt children, I've never noticed ceilings so short."
13.It's so surprising that this awkward crouching photo of Chrissy didn't become a meme. Maybe it could be!
14.What's the actually problem, Cosmo? Is it an awkward way to highlight the ~entire outfit~?
15.Or, outfit be damned, it's about the shoes?
16.Because sometimes it's neither and it's about camouflage?
17.They even made Beyoncé pose for photos in this tiny room.
Stop shaming tall women, Cosmo.
"Hey, I don't think the ceiling's that short at all!"
