Hang in there tall girls… I’m a 29 year old 6’1” tall Mom of 2 and I’ve been there too. Hitting my head on things, pants being too short, being afraid to wear heels… No more! Tall is beautiful, so rock those heels, show off those legs and don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. You’ll stand out because of your beauty and confidence, and that my...

What Problems?!
The only ‘problems’ I have with being waaaay taller (5’10” and growing!) than the average 5’3” girl is that it makes me absolutely rock at sports. (:
k3lz asked: One of the best confidence boosters is when I'm at a bar and a guy will look me up and down (in my 6'2" glory) and say "dayumm." I love my height and being able to provoke that reaction.
sweeeerrrveee asked: I really love this blog it took me a while to accept being tall but after reading some stories and seeing that that there are tall girls out there it has helped me a lot!
magtalasjha asked: I always has this problem of awkwardness whenever i'm with my friends. Because they're just only 5'5 something and i'm 5'7 or 5'8. I'm just 15 yrs old. Imagine :(
Wishing your husband would starting wearing cowboy boots (for the heels).
l-exorcist asked: i absolutely love this blog :). #tallgirlpride <3
rybbs asked: My boyfriend is 5'9 and I'm 5'11. We've been together for 2 and a half years, and he encourages me to wear my heels when we go out for nice dinners. He's sweet, patient, and a great dancer, and he loves me, especially my height. In the past, he has driven for an hour to get to me at 2am when I was having a bad night, just to talk with me in his car. Nice guys come in all...
bangarangization asked: Or when you're 6'1 and say to people that you actually play basketball and they say 'Wow you must be so good!' Or 'Are you the tallest on the team, you are right?' People! Just because i'm a freaking giant doesn't mean i'm the next Micheal Jordan.
When you honestly don’t care about dating a short guy, but the short guy you like cares about dating you because you’re too tall.
the-drug-in-me-is-your-dick asked: Hi! I'm 5'9 and after following this blog and reading everyone's stories i don't feel like the tallest girl in the world anymore, and i'm not so insecure about my height!
When people say "you're tall" I say "thank you"...
I take it as a compliment!
notquitesuperman asked: I'm 6'3 and i have dated two girls taller than me haha. We're out there girls.
When short people complain about being short. You can make yourself taller. What am I supposed to do? Cut my legs off?
I’m 6’1” and 31 and been this tall since I was 11—and yes, I’ve heard ALL the dumb tall girl jokes! When I was a teen, 36” inseams were unheard of in a woman’s jean and I had to buy men’s :( Now, everyone sells them! Gap and Old navy sell 36 inch for a reasonable price, you could always shop at the buckle, they have up to 38”, however they...
When your boyfriend doesn’t tell anyone about you because he doesn’t want to feel short in front of his friends.
When a guy says you’re perfect for him, but you’re just too tall.
forgivemeimtryingtofindmycalling asked: Any ideas where I can find some dressy sandals for going to weddings that are flat since my boyfriend is shorter than me? :)
Tall Girl Problems
Seeing your crush post “Short/funsized girls »>” on twitter/fb and knowing you have no chance of him ever liking you.

Torrid also sells jeans in a 36” inseam for women size 14 and up!
andallthatfunstuff asked: Hey! I'm 14 years old and 5'10. Whoopee. (thankfully I have a friend who is 6'1 and my age and a girl) but anyways. Thank you for making this! I love it! gonna stalk it all day. And to those who only hear "wow you're so tall!" or "why did you wear heels?" or "how tall are you?" etc etc. and that's all people remember you by, just remember: You...
alexxxisbaybay asked: Okay girls, Alloy sells jeans up to 36 inseams. I know if you order online, you can get your lenght and size together and not have to buy the next size up. American Eagle sells long jeans as well, but you have to order online for extra long. Alloy and American Eagle jeans last forever! Also Delias is good, but their jeans lose their shape very easily.

“Why do you like *insert celebrity crush name*? You’re like 10 times taller than him!”
Why do you like breathing, bitch? You’re like 10 times more likely to get punched in the face if you keep talking.
Dear People who refuse to cut their branches,
WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?
Sincerely,
the tall ones.

My cousin is 5’2 in the fifth grade. She’s on her way!

We couldn’t ask you to be in the wedding party because no-one is tall enough to walk with you.
I finally found a boy I can wear heels around!!! He’s 6’3” and I’m 5’9” so I can wear my favorite “stripper” heels and he’s still taller. It’s perfection. So there’s hope for all of you yet.

Telling you should play sports because of how tall you are but you can barely walk without tripping. Especially basketball. Which you hate.

I’m 5’11 and have the *hardest* time finding jeans long enough for me! All the rest of the people following you suffer this as well I’m sure! I found, however, that Rue21 has really long jeans, and they only cost $20..which is pretty awesome! So..I’m just helping out some fellow tall girls out there :)

rudolphette-deactivated20121201 asked: GAP has amazing tall and long jeans for around $60 to $70
helloimmanderson asked: Do you (or any of your followers) know of any good shops to buy long jeans that aren't online? I'm 5'11 with a 36 inch inseam and 27 waist and I need jeans but they either don't exist or cost approximately $1193248458244.
kandikaramelgal asked: Just wanted to say I adore this blog! I get soo much inspiration from all the lovely girls :) I am 5'8 and love platform shoes. I don't care what people say anymore. It use to really bug me with their little comments "woa soo tall in thoes shoes!!" Everyone is beautiful in their own way. It took a long time for me to finally stop caring what any els thinks. Embracing my height...
sveitinmillisolkerfa asked: The other day I was at Gap attempting to buy jeans since they sell longs (I'm 5'9" with really long legs) with a higher rise and I found out that in all but like the one style I own they don't sell longs in a smaller size than a four! It sucks that stores seem to think it's impossible to be tall and thin. Seriously, what are their models wearing?
alyssajacquelyn asked: Um I love your blog. I also love that you're only 16 and have such an awesome perspective on your height. I'm 21 5'10" and sometimes still struggle with wearing heels but at 16 I was absolutely mortified to be 5'9" while all of my friends were literally around 5 feet (my school was 75% asian so everyone was much shorter than I). So kudos to you and your tall self!...
l0v3isenough-deactivated2012072 asked: SO my dad did this thing when i was two, that if i grow at the same rate that i was (when i was 2) i'll be 6'5" by the time i graduate high school, and and GUESS WHAT? I am<3 I'm twelve and 5'7" 1/2 and i grow really fast, like, i grew that 1/2 and inch in a month.

Dress codes
That awkward moment when you are standing next to a really short girl who is dressed like a hooker, and you get dress coded because your shorts don’t reach your abnormally long arms.
Party Problems
Showing up to a party in heels… instead of compliments you hear complaints.
Tall Girl Problems
You are officially 10 months pregnant and your baby still has room to sprawl and no immediate desire to pop out and give you your body back.
Tall girl problems
Feeling short around your taller siblings, but just looking like a clan of giants to others.
Hi! Love your blog! It’s seriously like the story of my life! Could you do one that says “When people criticize you for wearing really short shorts but you can’t help it because of how long your legs are” or something along those lines? EVERYBODY yells at me for it! They’re like “Oh you’re shorts are way too short” or “Don’t you think the...
When your girl-friends say you’re the height they want their boyfriends to be. Where does that leave me?!
to all the girls that are taller than the boys, i feel your pain. i’m 18 and 6’1” and i’m still taller than most of the guys, but i really dont care anymore. i’ve only dated guys that are shorter than me, and trust me it’s not as awkward as we think it would be! my mom told me the same thing when i was growing up and i didnt believe her, but its true. there are...
This blog has made my life! I’m 16 and 6,3ft (191 cm) and most of my friends are 5ft or a little taller, I feel like a total giant being with them . This blog is actually great! i can relate to every post and I’m so glad there are people having the same difficulties as me . :)

my twin sister we are 5'9'' and love it.
You're awesome!
Hello ladies,
I hear a lot of you complaining about your height and not feeling attractive etc., I’m sorry to hear you feel that way. I’m a bit sympathetic to yours pains as my best friend is a 6’2” amazon, and all my other friends are over six feet (like, all twenty of my close friends), so I end up feeling like a dwarf. I’m a fairly short male...
Although it’s awkward being tall sometimes (5’11”) I actually love the fact that I can reach most ceilings— makes for awesome back, arm, and leg stretching :)
*gasp* "Oh my god, you wore heels?"
Seriously?
Why is this such a surprise? Am I supposed to spend the rest of my life in flats so that I don’t have to be any more out of the norm? Sorry to disappoint you but no.
…actually, I’m glad to disappoint you. Look at me, I’m in heels and nobody’s gonna stop me!
