TGP#9 Beds and blankets

TGP#9 Beds and blankets

Every tall girl could most likely go on a rant about how much she hates blankets and beds. Blankets keep us warm, yes, and beds are were we spend 50% of our life but for tall girls both of these things are pains.

When we are little we start off in a crib and move to a “big girl bed”. But then once you upgrade your bed from the big girl bed…  Girl your too bed for almost every bed. EVERY bed that I lay in my feet end up hanging off the end and no matter what way I lay and the blanket never covers my whole body.

If it’s a cold night sometimes us tall girl have to double up on blankets. Use one blanket for our upper half and then use the second blanket for our lower half. This is just a pain and then just when you get confortable, you have to get up for some reason and start the process all over again.

Companies do make tall blankets for people like us. I am asking one for Christmas this year so hopefully Santa will carry through. This tall girl needs more sleep.

TGP#8 Getting picked out of a crowed.

This TGP is very common for both girls and guys; It’s an annoying problem and can be good in ways but also bad in ways. Getting picked out of a crowed just because you’re tall, its terrible.

No matter where you go you will be seen and there is no use of trying to hide because no matter how hard you try, it won’t work.  Us tall people stand out in crowds and once in a while it can be a good thing, you can see above everyone to look for someone, you can be found by your friends easily but then if you’re trying to hide from someone, good luck. There will be nothing for you to hide behind unless there is a tree nearby.

If you’re just trying to have a normal day people will also point you out to their friends are look at you. This is probably one of the most annoying things and personally one of my pet peeves. For example if you are at Cedar Point with your friends and your waiting in line next you a group of really short people expect to have people staring at you every time you turn around. If your one of those people who like attention then the taller the better.

I don’t understand why people think its okay and not rude to stare at people but for some reason they do and if your taller than normal then expect this all the time, it shouldn’t be anything new.

TGP#7 The GOOD about being tall

Being a tall girl you have many things to complain about but there are also very good things about being tall. So instead of complaining like every other blog I’m going to focus on the good things and why it’s good to be a tall girl!

In blog #2 I talked about how it’s hard for tall girls to find clothes that actually fit. However I did not talk about once we do find clothes that fit, how we can pull off many different looks better because of our long figure. Short girls just can’t do this. When they try things like high wasted jeans, high wasted skirts or lots of longs layers they can look even shorter and just not look right. But on us things can flow better and accentuate our long figures. Look at fashion models, they are all tall. Why is this you ask? Because they can pull of the new styles and looks better.

In blog #4 I talked about tall girls playing sports. In our world right now women’s sports are just becoming more and more competitive and the higher level you play at the stronger, faster and taller you have to be. So in our case we have an advantage over people and have one of those things we need to be good at sports.

There are many things I could say about why it is good to be tall but those were just a  few examples. Everyday you will notice why you should be proud and happy to be the tall girl you are!
