Watched some of the NFL playoffs this weekend and I could not help noticing one of the commentators on the NBC crew: Maria Taylor. On Sunday, Ms. Taylor wore an amazing leg-revealing outfit (something I'd wear). I Googled her and it turns out that besides fashion, we have something else in common: we are both 6 feet 2 inches (188 cm) tall!

I have been making up my face for about 60 years and I still feel inept when applying mascara to my lower eyelashes and when applying liquid eyeliner. My eyeliner usually comes out ok, but my lower lashes – not so much. And they say that practice makes perfect!

I always feel I am on the tall side, but you two are 4 inches taller than me. At your height I think you have to celebrate your height, show it off, that will inevitably involve a bit of leg. Normal hem lines become short, long become mid calf, and long difficult to find. I assume you go for cocktail dresses rather than full length gowns.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about the dearth of full-length gowns in my wardrobe.
DeleteThank you for posting my picture Stana. I feel like a star :)

You are welcome, Dawn.
DeleteDawn, great look dear. My own wife wore a tea-length dress much like yours, in ecru, on our wedding day. Alas, I wore a men's business suit. I told her next time we renew our vows on a round-numbered anniversary, I get to say YES to the dress.
ReplyDeleteI am 6'3" and fit so I can relate on dealing with being tall. For me, I just can't pull off short dresses or skirts. My legs are a bit on the muscular side so for me I tend to go with knee length skirts or longer.
ReplyDeleteI am of average height (5'10") but I have noticed that on a lot of CD forums many girls over six feet tall are reluctant to go out in public because they fear they will 'stand out'. In my opinion, this is unfounded since as you note there are MANY CIS women over 6 feet tall. Two I know personally are both over 6'5" and quite frankly they are gorgeous. Yes, they stand out, but they also "SHINE" with true femininity!
ReplyDeleteI’m 5-10. There are a lot of women that look me in the eye or taller then me. I mostly just wear sneakers. I have the same sneakers Maria Taylor is wearing..lol...adidas
ReplyDeleteYou've got lower eyelashes? Lucky you! Mine seem to be almost non-existent even with a bit of mascara.
