Forget the old adage of “plaid pants not being flattering”. This pair of women’s plaid pants in a 37″ inseam defies the odds. The subtle plaid pattern can actually be a nice pair of neutral pants that can match with your wardrobe just like a pair of black pants. Made with a mid-rise waist, they also are wide legged and will flatter any shape. Sizes 1-25.
Tall Hoodie Giveaway & Review
By September 24, 2009
I love tall fitness clothing. If I don’t have anywhere special to go, I enjoy wearing relaxed pieces. So, I was really excited to be able to try out Vertical Athletics tall hoodie. And I must say that this tall hoodie is awesome! These seriously have the longest sleeves that I have ever seen. The sleeves come half way down my hands. I actually had to push them up a little. Wow, I’m not used to having my ankles covered. Can you believe it was even long enough to cover my rear? Love that!It it is so comfy. The inside is really soft and the neck doesn’t strangle me (like some of my other hoodies). It is made of organic cotton and has a bit of Lycra in it for stretch.
Here is a little bit about the company -Vertical Athletics – written by the owner Renee:
“I started Vertical Athletics because it seemed nearly impossible to find quality fitness apparel that was long enough for me. Knowing that many of my friends, family and teammates had the same problem, I decided to turn my passion for style and sports into a new career. I designed Vertical Athletics especially for tall men and tall women to give them extra room for our longer torsos, legs, and arms. I also thought it was important to make as little of an impact on the environment as possible, which is why we use many sustainable fabrics like; Recycled Polyester and Cotton, COCONA carbon from recycled coconut shells, Bamboo, Organic Cotton and other eco-friendly performance fabrics. Enjoy your new favorite workout gear- it’s just one more reason to love being Vertical!”
Yours truly, Renee

Womens Tall Slimming Pants
By September 22, 2009
We are pleased to have discovered that Chadwicks tall pants have gotten longer. Most of their tall pants are now in a 35″ inseam length as compared to 34″ inseam. Today we love this pair of women’s tall slimming pants. With added tummy-control in a short-like shaper it is made to smooth from the waist to the thighs. We love the wide waist band as it really flattens the tummy and creates a nice waist line.
The World’s Tallest Man
By September 21, 2009
If you think you are tall, perhaps you’re short compared to the world’s tallest man. The “Today Show” had Sultan Kosen, the world’s tallest man on their show this morning with the Guinness Book of World’s Records to present him a plaque as the “worldest tallest man.” Standing at 8’1″ tall, Sultan lives in a small town in Turkey.
He was diagnosed with an overactive pituitary gland condition that caused him to grow uncontrollably. Sultan had a tumor on his eye that was putting pressure on his pituitary gland. The tumor has now been removed.
Sultan says, “Up until now, I’ve really had a difficult life, but I’m happy. From now, I’m really going to have it a lot easier.”
You can read the entire transcipt here. We wish Sultan well on his world tour!
