Colleen-i-fy the world! This is wonderful and Jheri loves it!

I really like you hair in these photos. Both of us have faces that love striaght hair.

Steve

Very exciting that Trek is helping to colleen-i-fy the world and there are so many other things that can and will be done. And we get a jheri-i-fied world for free when we get colleen-i-fied!

Colleen, I was thinking of you as I sat next to a very tall woman on a 13 hour flight from Sydney Australia to LA. And I don't think she was quite as tall as you are. Your post points out many things to me, not just about being different or different from the "norm" but how we see the world, how we design for ourselves and others (or not) in the world AND the power of visuals. The photos in the blog post make the difference for us to "see" a tiny bit of the way you experience the world. Brava!

Colleen Smith

Hi Colleen! I first heard about you just by googling my name(I'm Colleen Smith too), but I love your blog! I'm 5'0", and I'd love to be tall for a day. If I were to colleenify the world, everything would be a lot shorter... I guess we all bear our burdens. ;)

Take Care,
Colleen

Colleen, what a great story. This coming from someone who is 6'7". I know it is more common for a guy to be tall but being this tall certainly has it's "ups and downs". (sorry for the pun). My wife is 6'0" and she too has had challenges. Cars, clothes, household items are all things we have to consider.

Coleen,
I have always hated being tall, sometimes I like it, but mostly I hate it, but for somereason I read your blog and it doesn't matter any more.
Thank you
:)

Kate

Way to go girl! Love being tall- it has it's moments, but all in all, wear it proud! I'm 6'4" and I've enjoyed every moment of it ;)

Kate

P.S.
Silver jeans make 37" inseams- they are fabulous....
Long Tall Sally has some decent tall girl stuff as well
For shoes- Nordstroms, Designer Shoes.com, Barefoot tess.com are all good

Hi Colleen,

I was very excited to see a link to your post on Apartment Therapy! I am one of the designers you are looking for to help your cause! I am a furniture and interior designer, specializing mostly in upholstered furniture. Seeing the need for furniture for people of non-average size, I launched a line called little people, BIG DESIGN made especially for people with dwarfism at the LPA convention in NYC last summer. I would love to expand my business to include furnishing for people of exceptional height!

You can see a PDF catalog of the line at www.lpbigdesign.com

Though I am based in NYC my manufacturing is done in LA. Are you in soCal?

I would love an opportunity to talk with you and discuss how we might work together!
