Milestones..

   Today is the 2 month anniversary of my promotion page and boy am I excited about what's been goin on in my life!!! I was terrified to even start this journey because it meant I would be doin me and acknowledging my own dreams for a change... And now, 2 months and 200 likes later I'm jumping up and down about the future of DaSixFoota!!! I'm grateful for all the support and even more grateful for the helping hands along the way!!! When I tell ya'll that God declared greatness over my life, that's exactly what He did! It has only taken me a couple of months to accomplish a good 8 months worth of strides. Just think, if I've done this much in such a short time... where am I gonna be in 8 months!? It blows my mind!!! I'm a hair stylist by trade and always thought that was my talent and calling. I've been playing in hair for as long as I can remember.. I've also always been what my grandmother called a "social butterfly" .. never thought in a

Being a tall woman means I AM or USED to be a MAN...

That's my topic today! Growing up I never once thought that being tall meant I looked like a man. And if I recall correctly I was never compared to one until I became an adult. Now I haven't always looked at my height as a good thing but I never felt like a man or thought I looked like a man for that matter... There was this one time that the boyfriend of a friend said that I probably used to be a man. Now I was taken aback because what parts of me would lead anyone to believe that I, DaSixFoota, used to be a man???! Although I do know that none of this is true there are just some things that stick with you.... I do believe I was offended more than anything and then appalled by his ignorance! This happened some years ago and just when I thought I had crossed over into the area of grown men it happened again! By this time I think I was completely and utterly comfortable in my own tall skin and my reaction was quite different, I responded with a simpl

The Recap...

My weekend was awesome!!! I rocked out with legends!! Once again I was a part of an event where we came to together to support and embrace each other as artist, brothers and sisters, friends, and family! The event I'm speaking on is the Core DJ conference... Oh how I love being a part of these events... I met a lot of really great people but the one that really stood out was one Miss Kendra Allure.. She's among the long legg crew.. Standing at a fabulous 6'1... We were coined the Twin Towers and we owned every room we walked into! Slowly but surly I am watching my brand grow into something great. I'm seeing and interacting with more and more long leggs and they are as excited I am.. I gotta tell ya'll I stepped way outta my comfort zone to do this, couldn't be more elated that I did!!! When I look back and think of the price I've paid for not doin this sooner I really could kick myself!!! Ok, enough of that... back to my FABULOUS weekend! I wasn't really

Tall Girl Problem #4080

Hello world!!! I took off a week and I must say I'm glad to be back at it!!! Today's topic is long sleeves!! For a tall girl, long sleeves happen to be the devil! We can't order anything with long sleeves online... Most of the time anything with long sleeves is toooooooooo short and when it isn't we buy it, even if its ugly!!! LOL I'm personally starting to feel disrespected. I don't understand whats's so hard about creating garments specifically for the above average height woman... Now I will say that over the years it has gotten better, we do now have pants n jeans that come in tall...* All praises to the most high* Now if only cute button ups, frilly blouses n coats would catch up... I really don't want to have to resort to wearing a coat from the mens department at Macy's! I'm to sexy for all that... The year before last I purchased a Calvin Klein bubble coat for women that was barely passing... Had to get a pair of long gloves to make it lo
