eleven ADVANTAGES THAT ALL TALL WOMEN RECOGNIZE
Next Thursday we will celebrate our annual Christmas party. At the venue with a cocktail/gala dress code. Outfit: check, but yes, which shoes am I going to wear? Those high heel skills of May are lacking in me. And even if I wanted to, without those extra centimeters I already hit one meter eighty. Add another ten centimeters on top (because yes, if you do it, you do it right) and I become really HUGE. Result: it becomes even harder to find Mr. Perfect... All men over one meter ninety gather.
Okay, now I'm acting like it's all drama, but there are indeed plenty of advantages to being tall.
Here they come:
1. You can just become a model. Because yes, models are tall. And don't look at your little rolls and just be quiet about the fact that you're not photogenic. You're tall, and tall people can become models. Take that compliment and put it in your pocket.
2. This weekend you can just indulge, because those extra kilos, no one sees them. They distribute nicely over your one meter seventy-five or eighty.
3. You can always reach everything. Whether it's in the supermarket or the overhead compartments on the plane, no one needs to help you. You can grab that last bottle of wine on the shelf yourself. Without a step stool, without high heels. Queen Independent.
“And now I have to take walking lessons.”
4. In the morning, you can definitely stay in bed for five more minutes. Long legs mean bigger steps, so you easily catch that bus.
5. You always stand out and will never get lost in the crowd. No one will lose track of you. That can also be a disadvantage (muahaha).
6. You can always see well everywhere. Standing spots at your favorite concert? No problem, you still have the best view.
7. You never have to sit in the back. With your long stilts, you can always unapologetically claim the front seat #shotgun.
8. And even on the plane, you can just complain about a seat with more legroom. If you're alone and smile sweetly at the steward (steward, yes), there's a small chance you might be moved to an exit row.
9. Those flared jeans or culottes look just a bit nicer with a pair of high stilts. Sorry but true...
10. Have you ever met a man who didn't like killer legs? No, me neither.
11. You don't have to wear high heels if you don't want to. Painful feet? What's that?
And uh, I found them, twelve centimeters high. And now I have to take walking lessons. A crash course too. To be continued...
