May 9th, ya'll
-On a precipice.....wings don't fail me now.
On my way to work this morning, after dropping from the vehicle, as I walked towards my office - I saw an Amazon. A freakin' Amazon.
She was walking in towards me, and when I saw where the top of her head broke the horizon, I took a quick glance shoe-ward to confirm that , yes - heels.
But the subtraction that followed left me with the conclusion that this chick was blo'y tall. 5 more pounds spread over her frame would most likely be unnoticeable.
-I immediately thought 'Model' and when she passed me I woulda had to look up to see her face clearly. I'm 5'7".
Needless to say I wish I were taller. And I'm no teenager, so I daresay it's not likely. Seeing a freakin Amazon did nothing to aid this....uh, well, slightly ridiculous, self-induced plight. [sigh]
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There's a chick on YouTube that's my dread-inspiration. She also happens to be wicked funny in my opinion. And apparently, we look alike. I happen to think she's beautiful so I don't mind AT ALL :)
Plus it gives me and idea of what Bee would look like during that dreaded short-short-dread stage. How sweet is that?
- Did I mention she's 5'10"?
Blo'y 'Ell!! [double sigh]
-God,may I have the grace (uh, commonsense?) to do what I'm supposed to, please?
Amen

Anyway, how you dey. You must be really brave to want to do dreads oh...
pssst, bout being tall. you know how dey say if you too tall dem no go marry you..especially if you want to marry a naija man who are at the short end of the spectrum.lol
hope u r doing gr8t?
one major con, big feet. i'm a size 11 and while i love to shoe shop, many of the styles i love aren't available in my size. jeans can also be an issue. i was wearing capris before they were "in" mainly because i couldn't find pants that were long enough, so i ended up hemming mine to match the classic style. luckily i found a tall guy who compliments my height, but there are some guys don't want to date us amazons. you just have to be happy with how you are, and work what you've got. 5'7 is still tall!
