Holbytlass has just left Hobbiton.
Oh my gosh, I married an elf!! BTW, what does LACE mean?

Were the elves a slender as we envision? I think we see them by today's standard (even Tolkien in his own day) and visualiaze them very thin. But truly in "their time" (centuries ago being a "history") they may not have been.
Their society was a prosperous one, plenty of food and especially for the "royalty" (Elrond, Galdriel etc) plenty of others to do the work for them. As a sign of wealth people had a bit of fat on them-certainly not the skeletal-thin looks of those with not alot to eat.
