Wheel size

Cross-posting from the Women's Cycling forum:

I had an idle thought, that 29" wheels on a size small frame isn't the smartest idea. I'm 5'4", about average length legs, and I'm wondering if 27 1/2" wheels might make more sense, seeing as even with the sloped top tube my lady bits are touching the top tube. Here's River (aka Baby); we've known each other for two years. She's my everything bike; I commute on her, take her on fun rides (only in the 20+ miles range so far) and last night we took our first real trail ride (it was a blast!). Thoughts? Opinions?
