I am 5'9" and I hear it all the time, HOW TALL ARE YOU?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I love that hat you made.

Still I can intimidate her! I guess it's the granny stare. She had a problem with her height in junior high, but got over it playing basketball and volleyball in high school. Now she is very proud of her height and is (and has always been) gorgeous! If someone comments on her height, she just gives them a "look" and they hush up right away. That look has gotten her into a lot of trouble, but I just love it! Raised eyebrow and quirky smile and a wink!<BR/><BR/>Love the autumn hats ---- getting the itch to make another hat. I need to order some felt hoods real soon.<BR/><BR/>MarieMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09599043861484871206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-35966264764922501082007-09-23T12:15:00.000-06:002007-09-23T12:15:00.000-06:00I have found very few tall Texas women.

My fellow California transplants have all commented at how Texas seems to have a lot of tiny gals, with BIG hair to make up for it (laughing...)Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-72006982317476177742007-09-23T12:09:00.000-06:002007-09-23T12:09:00.000-06:00well that was fun. I enjoyed the summer projects ...well that was fun. I enjoyed the summer projects and the rant. <BR/>Did you feel that Canadians did the same thing about your height? Because I have a close friend almost identical to your size you didn't seem tall at all. I would think that folk in Texas are tall. That is what the rumor is anyways. <BR/>I love Laura's remark. I could use that occasionally on a few topics myself.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-90246952751982834522007-09-23T00:51:00.000-06:002007-09-23T00:51:00.000-06:00GO Laura!!

It takes awhile to find your perfect styles but when you do you can whip them into a wonderful custom wardrobe. Looks like you are well on your way.<BR/><BR/>On the tall rant - studies show that taller business persons are more successful tho'. I wonder? Maybe it's that confidence thing again. My tallest sister buys her pants at Lands End because they do tall. Just wanted to pass that along in case you haven't tried them yet.<BR/>K Q:-)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983223015773238369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-75226918418871949452007-09-22T22:41:00.000-06:002007-09-22T22:41:00.000-06:00Thank you Julie!

What is it about us women that we feel like being taller, or physically looking down on someone is somehow just not quite right? <BR/>I know I always feel much more comfortable once everyone is seated, and the height issue is nullified.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-18531066536567844882007-09-22T22:15:00.000-06:002007-09-22T22:15:00.000-06:00I am laughing too... gotta love Laura!

Seeing I am on the other end as you know.... 5' 1" .... I am so used to looking up to people that when on the rare occasion I meet someone shorter than me it makes me very uncomfortable...like I am looking down on them and I really don't want them to think that I am. <BR/>Funny, how much difference a few inches can make to some people--- be it water or height!! smile <BR/><BR/>Your skirt and accessories are great!!! and I noticed immediately that they matched your crocs. <BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your post!!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-30062881495734322712007-09-22T16:23:00.000-06:002007-09-22T16:23:00.000-06:00Ditto to Laura's comment! And thanks for another ...Ditto to Laura's comment! And thanks for another "fall off my chair from laughing so hard" moment. <BR/><BR/>How many times have I wandered through department stores looking enviously at all the gorgeous styles for petites, regulars, and womens...and wondered, WHERE OH WHERE are the TALL sizes? I've also wondered, if I went shopping in Sweden, say, or Norway, where people tend to be taller, would I have this same problem?? Aren't there enough of us tall ones in the USA to warrant a "Tall" department too? And why, if we shop by catalog, are we often charged extra for the 2 or 3 inches more in length. I don't notice that people in plain old "misses" sizes have to pay more than the ones who are "petite" for a garment....oops, I'm ranting too!<BR/><BR/>By the way, love your new fall colors on your blog, and the new fall hats too. Very nice.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-30082049245786778852007-09-22T15:17:00.000-06:002007-09-22T15:17:00.000-06:00So many pretty things!

My Laura is just as outspoken when she feels someone is being nosy or rude. I can come up with clever retorts like that about half an hour too late.
