Tall Women Are Gorgeous: Checkout World's Tallest Women
« on: June 22, 2007, 07:33 AM »

In 1976 Sandy Allen was declared the “world’s tallest woman - living” by Guinness Book of World Records. Allen is a towering lady at 7′ 7 1/4″. Amazingly this is not far beyond the recognized world’s tallest living man - Xi Shun (7′ 8.95″). Allen has since spent her life traveling around the world encouraging people that it is OK to be different. Allen was born in 1955, at age 22 she underwent surgery to stop her growth. Without this she would have continued to grow and suffer further medical problems associated with gigantism.

There is some debate on the internet about if Allen is still in fact tallest. De-Fen Yao has been measured at 7′ 8 1/2″. This has not been confirmed by Guinness Book though. (What do these people do?) she is still taller than Sandy Allen who can no longer stand up straight and is sadly confined to a wheel-chair now. If Sandy could still stand her bodyweight seems to have caused her back to arch so she can no longer be considered to be 7′ 7 1/4″. I agree that either way Gunness Book needs an update.

Did you know that De-Fen Yao, the tallest woman alive, is 7'8 1/2"? Did you know that there are a lot of other Ladies out there who are taller than you? Women like basketball pro Malgorzata Dydek who is 7'2" or Allyssa DeHaan who is 6'9".

Tall Models like Caro who is 6'9" (watch her appear on German TV) and Alexis (6'4"). Or (tall) women like my Sweetie Kathy who is 6'3" and the cutest person ever!

Did you know that Brigitte Nielsen is 6'1"? Did you know that Geena Davis, Brooke Shields, Uma Thurman and American Idol Jordin Sparks are 6'0" each? They're celebrities you're saying? Well, you don't have to be famous to be beautiful and life doesn't end at 5'7".

Tall women are gorgeous, ooze class and are great role-models for tall girls who may lack that little bit of confidence. A lot of women go to great lengths in order to stand out. You don't have to because you are outstanding as it is.
