Martha Stewart Tall Show Recap
By February 22, 2010
For those of you who may have missed the “Martha Stewart Tall Show”, here is a recap.
- Arianne Cohen, the author of “The Tall Book: A Celebration of Life From On High” discussed advantages tall people have such as, on average earning more than co-workers. She also claimed that people around the world have the same height potential, but that good nuturition and health can help you be taller. I’m not sure if I entirely agree with her height nutrition claims, but I haven’t done enough research. It seems to be genetics in my family.
Check out the website http://www.seatguru.com/ next time you are traveling. Fly on airlines that have at least 34″ between seats to allow more leg room. - Lisa Butcher of Long Tall Sally put on a women’s tall fashion show. To see the fashions featured on the show, click here.
- Martha Stewart showed the butcher block kitchen counter we previously blogged about.
- Alain Roby, a pastry chef, made a very tall cake.
I enjoyed the show, but would have liked to have more discussion with tall people and issues we face or advantages we enjoy! I would have loved to be there!
What did you think of the show?
