Russian woman Svetlana Pankrtova stunned the world for her longest legs of any woman recognized by Guinness World Records. British woman Mandy Sellars now also attracted the similar international attention for her own (gigantic) legs, but apparently the latter is not as lucky as the former.
Mandy Sellars (pictured here), 33, from Lancashire of England, may be suffering from an extremely rare disease called Proteus syndrome [wikipedia] thatleft two of her legs weighing 92-98kg out of total body weight about 130kg. Whats the worse, the abnormal legs never stops growing, and one day, they may have to be amputated.
A Tough Job for the Shoemaker
Throughout her childhood, the growth of her legs continued to outpace the rest of her body until she could no longer move on her own. She walks now with the aid of crutches and drives a specially equipped automobile.
Near her home in northwestern England, Sellars goes to a private shoemaker. Her right foot is 16 inches [41 cm] long and 7 inches [18 cm] wide, and her legs are of differing lengths because the left foot a club foot, 11 inches [28 cm] long faces backward.
So the fittings are delicate. It takes weeks of trial and error to produce the final molds for a pair of boots, and they will cost around $4,000 money she has to raise because she is unemployed.

Because her condition remained such a mystery, she often seemed to be on the edge of disaster. In college, she was once suddenly paralyzed because of a *lo** clot that required 10 weeks of hospitalization. When a plastic surgeon tried liposuction to reduce the bulk inher legs, more tissue grew back than had been removed.
