Tall Girls-A Story of Giants (New Movie coming out)

I’m not happy. Let’s start there.

Is this really what it has come to?

I stumbled across a new TALL documentary about tall women and my thoughts are…things really need to change.  In the first 2 minutes  of the trailer I was pissed off.  From what I saw this is yet another film that makes tall women look like circus freaks.  The film shows younger girls getting medical treatments to prevent  them from growing and older women discussing how difficult it is to be tall.  Say what?!?

Arianne Cohen is in the film and although I greatly respect her for her Tall Book, I was disappointed in the comments shown of her speaking.  Where are all of the positive role models?  Can’t we be tall, happy, confident women?  Why do we have to be shown in this horrible light?

Or…did I take this wrong?  That is entirely possible because I’m overly protective of my fellow tall women and anything that could potentially throw a negative light on my height-blessed peers also throws me into a tizzy!

Comments are welcome!  I have contacted the company and have asked for some more information.  Here is the website: http://tallgirls-thefilm.com/page/

Please view the trailer and let me know your thoughts.

Found: Old Pictures!

I can't believe I'm even posting this!

Recently I sent some of my really old pictures to a company called Scan Cafe to have them digitally scanned for me in order to preserve them. Oh the gems I have found!  While I know we all tend to grow into the person we were meant to be, I didn’t realize how much I had changed.  For example take the picture to the right:  I’m about 25 years old in this picture but with my dorky mom-sunglasses (yes, I was being silly) and my mom-jeans along with the short dark hair…I look about 40.  This was taken at my 5 year class reunion to my junior college.  Notice how tall I am when standing next to the door.  I should point out that I have heels on.  I always wear heels.  Why not?  Funny stuff.  Now, let’s make fun of my older sister, Heather.

Heather--getting ready to walk the runway!

I love to do glamor shots.  You basically put a bunch of makeup on and pose near something or with something.  We did this in college all the time but one time I was able to get my sister to pose with roses, my mom’s leather jacket, my grandma’s fake diamond necklace, and my Homecoming Queen crown.  Now what makes this really, really funny is when I told Heather I had this picture she didn’t believe me.  In fact, I told her I was going to post it on the blog.  Perhaps next time she will believe me.  Heather–don’t be mad. (Okay, that one wasn’t really about anything tall but I had to do it.  You understand.)

This next picture makes me laugh the most.  The HAIR! This was taken in my college dorm and I’m wearing my b-ball jersey.  I’m not sure what more I can say….I love finding pictures because they bring back such good memories.  It’s too bad that sometimes the pictures don’t look as good as the memories in my head.  I don’t remember looking like this.

Go Warriers!

And here’s my favorite: this is my family back in 1988 or 1989. I can’t believe how young we look!  This was probably taken for a Christmas card or something.  I think I’m only about 6’2″  here.  I love looking at old pictures….

Should we all be embarrassed?
