"Far
away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations. I may not reach
them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to
follow where they lead."– Louisa May AlcottAbout Louisa May AlcottLouisa May Alcott, the beloved American author, is best known for her semi-autobiographical novel, Little Women,
which was made into a movie five different times. Born on November 29,
1832 near Philadelphia, she grew up in Massachusetts. Her family lived
in the genteel poverty depicted in her fiction. She wrote lurid
stories anonymously to bring in money but gained fame under her own name
with young adult novels, which held readers with their warm
characterizations and simple, engaging style. She died on March 6, 1888. 4951

When Kat Hoffman was growing up in Bellefontaine, Ohio, bullies were a big problem for her.Hoffman, 26, was born with a form of dwarfism that stunted her growth at 3 feet, 11 inches and made her a target of teasing.“At
school I felt like an outcast, people bullied me because of my size and
I was angry at the world,” Hoffman told Barcroft Media. “High school
was a difficult time, other kids were rude and brutally *****y. I
dreaded school every day -- no one wanted to speak with me.”

However, when Hoffman turned 18, she discovered a way to make her
short stature a big advantage when she visited a local strip club where a
friend worked.“By the end of the night, I was on stage in the nude,”
Hoffman said, according to the New York Post. “It was such a buzz.
During my first week of dancing I made $1,000 in one week, so I decided
to make a living out of it.”Now Hoffman travels all over the world performing as "Kat the Midget Stripper" in sexy outfits made by her mother.However, her sister, Renee, who also has the same form of dwarfism, has reservations about Hoffman's career choice."I've been to her shows before and they don't go there to see her, they go there to laugh at her," she said, according to the Daily Mail.Hoffman doesn't care about the haters.“I
call myself a smile producer -- not an exotic entertainer,” she tells
Barcroft TV. “I just want to put smiles on people’s faces.”Hoffman
says performing not only gave her confidence about her body, but it
also helped her find true love in the form of her 6-foot-tall army
sergeant Eich Bushner, 34, who wanted to meet her after seeing her
pictures online.The two are now engaged and Bushner said he's
ready to spend the rest of his life with Hoffman, no matter what
difficulties they might face.“The height difference does pose some problems, but nothing too big that we can’t handle,” Bushner said, according to InTouchWeekly.com.Hoffman
plans to spend five more years dancing before hanging up her pint-sized
pasties for good. Still, she thinks her shaking her tiny tail feather
sends a positive message for anyone with a disability.“A lot of
us disabled people don’t feel sexy because of our handicaps -- but I
don’t think it’s necessary,” she told Barcroft TV. “Everybody is sexy in
their own way and personality is all that matters. You have to have a
heart, that’s really all it takes to be sexy in my book.” 4951
