Diary Of A SixFoota....

The thigh gap! That gap of space between a woman's thighs when they don't touch from being so thin. An absurdity that was brought to my attention by my bestie. Why must society insist on putting a stigma on beauty? I was always taught that beauty was in the eye of the beholder. And with the world the way it is now, women are coming in all shapes, sizes, and colors and are very beautiful as an assortment. There is a model, Robyn Lawley... She's 6'2 and fabulous! A fellow long legg! She's considered in the modeling world as a plus size model. She was ridiculed for not having this thigh gap and she spoke out on it. I was very impressed by the way she stood up for herself and others who may be the same way. I would say that she gives hope to the females who aren't twigs that want to pursue a modeling career. The one thing I never understood about modeling is that in real life, no one is a perfect size 0, if that could be considered perfect. Even when you go shopping...

Let me tell you why I'm mad son! I'm mad because it seems that a lot of social networks have turned into eHarmony or black people meet or even a bad episode of the love connection! Now don't get me wrong I have met some really great people on mine but what I don't get is when a dude decides to get all up in my inbox trying to get personal when I've never expressed any interest in him whatsoever! It's very invasive for a strange, "potential stalker" to just climb up in your inbox and be like "Hey tall thing, why don't you let me take you out on the best date of your life!" Like seriously!? The proper thing to do would be to start off with a few public hellos, or good mornings, or have a nice day. Then you don't seem like some overbearing piece of man trash with no home training! I know there is a very fine line with being friendly and being flirty, but I'm not even completely sure I have seen the line it's so fine. What I know ...

   So as most of you know I had my first show on blogtalk radio last night... I am just so freakin excited about the chance to have my own show with full creative choice. I went on with nervous excitement and slowly fell into a comfortable groove! For someone who started out a hair stylist by trade, who would've ever thunk I would be out entertaining the masses?? I've got to say though that I do believe that I enjoy this WAY more than doing hair... Hmmmmm?? I hope that's not a bad thing. What am I saying, I'm DaSixFoota I can wear as many hats as I want! I'm ready to take OVA the world! I would also like to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to everyone who listened and called in to show support... You made my first night that much easier and helped me to really feel like this is where I belong. I'm just so grateful I could burst! I don't want to talk you to death with all this, I just feel like it's extremely important to express my gratitude!

Ladies.. When you get in your heels... What song do you walk to? Have you ever even thought about this? I'm inclined to believe that every woman has a high heel anthem... Even if you've never thought about it, trust me it's there. There is something that just takes over when you slip into a pair of stilettos... Especially when it's your favorite pair! Whether it's Guns 'n Roses or 2 Live Crew. Mine is Wu- Tang's Gravel Pit. I have no clue why but that's what plays in my head as I'm walking in my heels. So Ladies, and Gents too, if you happen to be one who rock heels, do me a favor next time you put on them shoes...listen to the music in your head and tell me where it takes you. I've had a couple girlfriends tell me they never even thought about 'til I said something, but realized it was true. I'm curious so hit me back and tell me about your high heel anthem!

  How many of my long legged ladies are ok with dating a shorter man? I am personally on the fence about it. And the crazy part about me saying I'm on the fence is the fact that I've done it.. Just not completely sure I totally loved it! Some of them were whiney, some of them were goofy, but what most of them lacked was the ability to be man enough for me. I need a man with a very strong personality. And it really could've been me... but the short guys seemed to have been lacking that certain assertiveness that I need to help us balance. Or maybe he had it but the fact that I was lookin down at him made it hard for me to take him seriously! LOL.. I went through an "I'm gonna date whomever is dating me" phase. I gave the shorter brothers a chance.. They are always so confident in their approach and then become these little whimps during the dating period and I just would find myself wondering "What happened to the dude who approached me? Was he a stunt dou...

I don't even know where to begin with this. On a couple of totally separate situations I've encountered women who have dated and/or been approached by men who openly admit to having been intimate with other men... So maybe I should gauge this as a question. Could you or would you date a man that tells you that he's been in a sexual relationship with another man? Does this make him gay, bi, or just curious? If it was only a one time thing could you look past it? I've been going around and around on how to write this because I was not sure if my opinion should even way in on this. I would like to say though that when it comes to this subject there seems to be a double standard. When a woman is intimate with another woman that's considered sexy. Would a man look at the female he was interested in differently if she had been with another woman?  I can say that I've never heard a man say he couldn't date a chick cause she participated in a ...

I just recorded a vlog about friends! I got inspired to write a little something because all of you may not subscribe to my youtube channel, which you should, (Msladylongleggs). Here is the basic gist of it: It's very important to build lasting friendships... The people you spend the most time around are the people who influence you the most. I've learned over the years that taking a good friendship for granted will put you in a very lonely, hurtful way. I can speak on this because I've put all my friendships to the test. Finally, it got to the point where I had to ask myself, "do u wanna be alone?" The answer to that is an obvious NO! I don't want to be without the ladies that I can be myself around. The ones who could care less if I'm perfect. The ones whose babies call me auntie and Peia! The long and short of it is that without them, life would be pretty damn boring and DaSixFoota just don't do boring hunty! That's it for now and remember... ...

Why do females make fun of tall girls? Is it because they wish they were tall? Is it because of what they call "hating"? I just don't get it. I'm the type to embrace any and all. My girlfriends are all shapes and sizes. And when we're out we're usually to busy having a good time to be concerned with what height the next chick is... That's it for now and remember... stand TALL, be GREAT in all & ever GRATEFUL!

     Through this journey I've been learning that you have to take a look at any and all opportunities. The good and the bad. Situations that are placed in front of you are placed there for a reason. How many people actually take the time to consider their opportunities??? I know a lot of my mine were avoided because of fear.  The fear of the unknown, the fear of failure and rejection, but mostly the fear of what others would think. How crazy is that?? I started too realize that I cared way to much about what others thought about what I was doing and I really had no idea I did until all this started. Why did I care so much about how MY opportunities would affect anyone but me? This growth spurt has been a breath of fresh air. Not only have I learned to take the bull by the horns, I've also learned that it's ok if everything that comes my way isn't necessarily for me. Just wanted to share that. Thanx for reading & Remember... stand TALL, be GREAT in all and ...

I was watching TV with my cousin and I see this tall female sashaying around all hunched over. It makes me wonder when I see tall females like this, do they have any idea how ugly it looks? I'm thinking the reason for it is usually because they don't like being tall and try to make themselves less noticeable but, dolls let me explain something to you... It looks hideous and makes you stand out even more!!! I grew into loving my height but I had positive reinforcement. At some point you need decide to take charge, look in the mirror, size yourself up and say "I'm beautiful dammit!!!?" Through all my research I see a lot of women that are 5'10 and above who say they hate their height and that they do slouch over or sit a lot. They don't wear heels, they can't date, they wish they could be made shorter, etc.. etc... I really think it's sad. I find being 6'0 to be pretty magnificent. Now as I said I had to grow into loving this but that happened fo...

    Today I think I'm going rant a little bit about the one thing that really just PISSES me off!!! I can't stand for a person to tell me they're going do something and then give me a load of BS about why it didn't get done when the time comes! Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to just simply not tell a person that you can or you will!!!? I feel like my intelligence is being insulted...  I just don't like it, I think it's rude and belittling... It also makes me feel as though I'm being kept underfoot.. Now I haven't always lived by this one thing that drives me bonkers. I've had my fair share of let downs and being a disappointment in some cases. Over the years I figured out I can't please everybody. I'm assuming all of this comes with that little thing they call growing up. I mean maybe I'm asking for to much. Reality is that you really can't expect anyone to think what you think, feel how you feel, or even care abou...

   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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Why is it that everything that's not considered "normal" is made fun of or exploited??! I went to google and typed in tall women. Scrolling down I noticed that there were YouTube videos featuring tall women. What I didn't expect to see were some of my fellow long leggs allowing themselves to be treated like freaks of nature.. Being exploited in a manner I found to be rather repulsive!!! Being an above average height female I think I'm quite beautiful, unique even... Not so rare anymore but a treasure none the less. As I'm writing this I'm thinking I need to change my original question.. Hmmmmmmm... the question should be "Why is everything that's not considered "normal" being allowed to be made fun of or exploited by those being exploited???!!" Now that's something to think about.... Do tall women look at themselves as freaks?? Is it a self esteem thing? Were they not brought up in a supportive environment that taught them to be...

My homie Kd asked me why I've been bashing the short dudes... Have I?? LOL... Really I've just been telling my tall tales.. kinda like adventures of a long legged gal! It's not my intention to be bashing so I hope no one is taking offense. This is all coming from a good place. I must say that I have been enjoying my height even more than usual lately. It has me wondering if maybe I wasn't as confident in it as I thought before now. Maybe it's just personal growth, but whatever it is... I'm lovin it!!! Last night I had the pleasure of being a hostess at the Social Cravings event held here in Atlanta... I was in a room with some really awesome black women and it was very empowering. Seeing woman embracing each other and wanting success for one another was pretty motivating! I met a lot of beautiful and talented women but one stood out more than any and that was the talented Nicci Gilbert of Brownstone.. I never realized how ...

I've been doing a lot of research into this tall girl thing. The other day while browsing through the many sex tips, tall girl clothing tricks, etc... I came across a title that grabbed my attention... 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DATE A TALL GIRL. Now ya'll know I had to stop and read this nonsense!! After reading it I decided to share and respond! Here we go... 1.Because you're the little spoon- nobody wants to cuddle with a beast     I say she can spoon you, cuddling is cuddling.  Who cares who's the cuddler and who's the cuddlee 2. Hand jobs from her are the most emasculating thing- Monster hands are scary and once she puts her hands on your penis it makes your johnson look nonexistant.     Umm 2 things, 1: I have never in my life had a man stop me from touching him because of the size of my hands! 2: If my hand makes your "johnson" disappear, then the size of my hands really isn't your problem!!!! 3. 6'5 in heels is never a good loo...

I haven't always loved being tall... I used to feel like I stuck out like a sore thumb. I would slouch down and sit a lot. I think in a way tall kind of made me shy. When my grandmother noticed that I was slouching she would tell me to stand up straight.. be proud... it took some time and fussing but at around 15 I came into my own. I started being proud of this height of mine because everyone wasn't blessed with it. When I tell people today that I was once VERY shy they don't believe me! Lol... Some even say I could stand to be a little more modest... never! I'm very proud of who I am and what I've grown into. This height is a gift and I'm putting it all out there to inspire others with the gift of standing out. Whatever it is... always stand tall and be proud!!

In my day to day living as a 6foota I've been told on more than one occasion that we are very intimidating.. Why is that? Is that really even the case? I'm beginning to think that it's our confidence and not our height... We have no problem being approached by any man of any stature as long as he's a gentlemen... Lines like, "You sure are a tall glass of water and I'm thirsty." Or "I like to climb trees." We don't like... find absolutely no humor in it... and really wish the fellas would stop saying it... It's not breaking the ice, it's turning us OFF!! And the crazy part is when we don't respond to those lame lines we gotta hear about how we probably used to be a man.. Which is a whole different subject, for a whole different day!!! Hit me up and let me know what you think...

So check this out... I had a dude look up at me and tell me the reason why I'm single is because I wear heels... I do believe I was slightly offended by his ignance... And yes I said ignance!! I am 6fabulous ft. 6'3- 6'5 in heels... I absolutely love being tall... I am really tired of grown men who haven't managed their way out of their childhood height giving me grief about mine!!! So tell me ladies and gents what are your views on this??? Talk to me....

So in my research I've found that the average height for an american woman is only 5'4!!! I find that to be very intresting... When I was in school way back when, I was the tallest... stayed the tallest for most of my time... Now when I'm out and see females my height or better I get excited cause I no longer stand alone!!!
