| 1245875 | 2011-11-27 04:43:00 | I suspect that the reporter meant that LU was composed, or showed a measured response to the news - i.e. she wasn't going overboard with joy, not gloating about her losing opponent etc. Perhaps restrained may have been a better word. No doubt the dorks that pass for reporters these days expected her to be turning cartwheels. I don't think it means 36 - 24 - 36 kind of measurements... |

| 1245877 | 2011-11-27 06:58:00 | Could mean she went to great lengths - - | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1245879 | 2011-11-27 07:07:00 | The media hadn't already invaded her privacy so the reporter took her measurements | wotz (335) | ||
| 1245880 | 2011-11-27 07:37:00 | Thesaurus gives the word restrained as a synonym for measured. Perhaps that is what is meant. | tut (12033) | ||
| 1245881 | 2011-11-27 10:03:00 | Maybe she needed to be measured for the new clothing she will need when entering Parliament? :D | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1245882 | 2011-11-27 16:33:00 | I think you got it. Means being calm and composed instead of dancing around like Ipi Thombi. |
