// approximate body measuring tape
//
// rez a cylinder prim
// stick this script in it
// sit on a pose stand to keep still
// size the prim to approximately fit your bust
// touch the prim, and it will say what the approx. measurement of your bust is
// do the same for waist and hips, and any other body parts as you like
