Martha Stewart Tall Show Recap

For those of you who may have missed the "Martha Stewart Tall Show", here is a recap.

• Arianne Cohen, the author of "The Tall Book: A Celebration of Life From On High" discussed advantages tall people have such as, on average earning more than co-workers. She also claimed that people around the world have the same height potential, but that good nuturition and health can help you be taller. I'm not sure if I entirely agree with her height nutrition claims, but I haven't done enough research. It seems to be genetics in my family.

• Lisa Butcher of Long Tall Sally put on a women's tall fashion show. To see the fashions featured on the show, click here.
• Martha Stewart showed the butcher block kitchen counter we previously blogged about.
• Alain Roby, a pastry chef, made a very tall cake.

I enjoyed the show, but would have liked to have more discussion with tall people and issues we face or advantages we enjoy! I would have loved to be there!

Self Esteem Books for Tall People

Many tall people at one point or another in their life have suffered from some sort of self-esteem issues. I know as a tall girl, grade school and Jr. high were particularly difficult. One day in 6th grade a visitor came into the classroom. With my back turned toward him, he thought I was the teacher. I also received daily taunts from "short boys". As I look back on it, the taunting was because the short boys were just as insecure about their height as I was about mine. Today I came across some books at Amazon.com that may help with self-esteem issues for tall people including children and adults.

We also have links to some Ebooks for Tall Women on how to dress for your particular figure. When I sign off of my monthly newsletters I always say, "Thanks, and remember to stand tall." What does this mean to me? Not only does it mean to stand up straight and be proud of who you are, but it also has another meaning. Take a stand, a conviction, be proud of who you are and what you believe in. This is the deeper meaning I feel when I say, "remember to stand tall."
