Who’s That Tall Lady?

That tall lady is Yvonne, from Canada.

She’s 6’1″, and is a bit of a goof. She sees the world from a different view, and not just because her eyes are higher up.  She often doesn’t notice someone else’s height unless they are as tall or taller than she is, or unless a shorter person points out, “Wow, I feel so short next to you.” She beseeches: don’t feel short.

The vacation season is coming near. Are you ready for more legroom in your plane?

As summer is coming near, we are all planning for a perfect vacation – maybe a getaway to a remote island, or maybe to a tourist attraction.

When traveling far is involved, tall people need to take the extra step of finding more space.

With that in mind, here’s a few sites that provide information about airline seats.
Each of these sites offer visual description of which seats offer the most comfort with extra legroom.

Up next, we will review what kind of cars offer more space for tall people.

Maybe a complete list of comments you get about your height?

When you’re a 6’2″ woman, you get a lot of people asking about your height. 

After watching a video about the kind of comments tall women get, 6’2″ Katie decided to write down comments on her height, and she could come up with 4 pages of comments.

And then, she decided to go on for round 2:
Comments from people who already know your height. When you’re the only tall girl in your group. When tall guys date short women.

What’s the difference?

Have you ever wonder why a particular pair of jeans didn’t fit you very well?

Here’s the easy-to-understand explanation on how a tall women’s jeans should be different from regular size jeans - from TallWaterJeans.com.

 

  1. Less waist, more hip (because hourglasses are more common than beanpoles)
  2. Longer front and back rise (so you don’t flash anyone you don’t want to)
  3. A little more room in the thigh (because most of us are women, not waifs)
  4. Longer inseam (so you can wear heels, and not worry about a little shrinkage)
  5. Wider leg openings (because taller bodies can handle a larger flare, and it’s more flattering that way)

A story on being a tall female (Chicago Tribune)

This is an article from Chicago Tribune, written by 6’3″ reporter Kristin Samuelson.

I’m 6’3″ … and, no, I don’t play basketball

“I wasn’t alone. In a recent study conducted by Wakefield Research for London-based Long Tall Sally, a female tall-fashion specialty store, 72 percent of tall women have downplayed their height in a social setting. One in 5 vertically gifted women has lied about how tall she is.”
