I think it is. And the more I look at her body proportions and that long, long, long skirt, the more I think she's even standing on a stool underneath there, and it's STILL puddling. Because body image isn't quite enough of an issue, and legs really do stretch on thrice as long as a torso ... It's starting to creep me out.
