Not Another Tall Blog

One of the perks of being a blogger is having great partnerships and getting to hear news directly from the source. If you are tall and based in the US, likelihood is you know this already, as you shop with TallSlim. My blog is based in the UK though, so perhaps this will help some of my readers based in this country to source clothes more easily. I have in the past done reviews of this tall…

Have you listened to them yet? If no, don’t hang around and do it! I wasn’t into podcasts until I started listening to the first episode of Tall Talk Times… and got hooked on it. It’s best to play it when you are not in a rush, perhaps while cooking a hearty homemade meal, or on a long drive with no one to interrupt you but the travel news. What is unique about this project is that it is created…

Meet a typical 6’6″ 18-year old. His girlfriend exclaimed when she saw him wearing these: “Oh you look odd… because these clothes actually fit you!” Now, that’s unusual, right? I was contacted recently by TallSlim Tees with the offer to send me some freebies to review. This is what my son chose – in order of preference: Midweight Pullover Hoodie This is the item he actually loved. Just look at…

Life is a journey, and so is the path to mastering your mindset. It’s a long (and often quite painful) process, but once you start to get there, you realise it is so much worth it! Just as muscles can be a mask for one’s inner struggles, height can be the subject of unfair stereotypes. I feel it is my mission to help break them, and while being on my own journey to self-discovery and…

This made me cry and made my heart full. In awe of what I read in this letter, I am sharing it with permission of the sender without changing a single word. Dear Angelina, I finished reading your beautiful book and I decided to write you this email to thank for how the book inspired me. As I said in a previous post of mine on your FB page, it is incredible how two people who are opposite from a…

***New blog post*** Celebrating Tall Women Run Businesses: Inclusive and Sustainable Fashion by Eve Copper

I love connecting with like-minded souls, even more so when they are powerful tall women. Today, my guest on the blog is Eve Jones. She runs a small clothing company in Devon, UK, named Eve Copper. Admittedly, it is not aimed at tall people, however the owner is just under 6 foot tall, so here’s your tall connection! This lovely lady is a pleasure to talk to, and finding out about what she does…

People ask me what my book is about. I asked AI to suggest a little story about this, and about my mission. Here is what it came up with. Quite cute I think, and empowering!

I recently asked AI to suggest a story based on my tall journey and the book I published about it, and here is what it came up with. I find it pretty fascinating! It also puts my mission into a greater perspective. You will notice a character called Emily: I wonder which one of my tall fellow that might be? Perhaps Sassy and Tall? Or The Tall Fit? Or another tall brand who has not connected with…

There was this guy at the gym today with an upper body made of steel, quietly finishing off his workout in the stretch area, doing hand stands as if that’s a piece of cake, and some pretty advanced stretches, too. Then there was me, not feeling intimidated at all, with my cat/cows and thread the needle! Secretly feeling desperate in the knowing I will probably never manage a hand stand. Not in…

I recently shared with you a message from a stranger that I found outrageous and have since stopped responding to any texts from people I don’t know in real life. The aftermaths of this was interesting. While pretty much everyone was in agreement that it is not OK to say what that stranger said to me, an interesting issue arouse: that decent men who genuinely want to talk to girls and mean well,…

It is no one’s secret that I receive a high volume of unsolicited messages – on all social media I am on (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram; even the odd one on LinkedIn). So far, I was making a joke of that (see, for instance, my post “How Not To Chat Up a Tall Girl”). Not anymore. This is why: I can live with unsolicited messages, but not with this. This is no longer funny. For once, I decided to…

***NEW BLOG POST***

Let me introduce to you Zaiga Brača, a fabulous tall lady from Latvia who is brave enough to own and run a shop for large size shoes – both men’s and women’s. I can’t help admiring her entrepreneurship! As we all know, there aren’t many shops nowadays that specialise in large sizes. Being a fairly niche business, it is also a bit risky, yet she keeps going since opening her shop Apavi+ 13 years…
