Tall Tuesday: Post of the Week

Since it’s Tall Tuesday, I thought it would be fun to start a new feature on this blog. If you are tall and have a blog, link up your best post of the week. This can be your personal blog, or a tall store blog. Then I encourage you to visit a few of the linking blogs and add a comment. We can all help each other when we spread the love.

Tall Person Career Idea – Try Being a Tour Guide

tall peopleWhen I was in high school, (many moons ago) I took a Summer tour to Europe. Our tour guide, Natalie, was seriously the shortest woman I have ever seen. She wasn’t a “dwarf” or “midget” but was extremely short. We had the hardest time finding her a crowd. Natalie tried holding up a red umbrella but, with her short arms, we still couldn’t find her. Finally the rest of the group came up with a solution to our dilemma. They simple made me stand next to her. At 6’1″ tall, everyone could find me in a crowd. Now, I can say that being high school age, I wasn’t too keen on this idea due to being a bit self-conscience about my height. But, I was game and it worked out well for our group.

Perhaps being a tour guide might be a nice career for a tall person! Everyone can easily find you in a crowd, plus it’s easier to navigate your way.
I WANT TO KNOW – What other unique jobs could tall people do by using their height to their advantage?

Calling All Tall People for a New TV Show!

extra tall people acting jobs I was just sent info about a new documentary television show on tall people! Here is the info:

Gay Rosenthal Productions, the Emmy nominated producers behind “Little People, Big World”, are casting an exciting new series TALL! The show will explore the offbeat and often-complex lives of a family or individual with a dramatic physical difference: above average height.
If you are a tall family with some of your members at least 6’6″ tall, you may be the next famous family!

The show will explore the offbeat and often-complex lives of a family or individual with a dramatic physical difference: above average height.

Casting Directors are looking for people of towering height who are willing to share their stories on a television series to be aired on a major cable network. The show will feature a family of tall people, an individual and/or a group of tall people, with members at least 6’6”. (Though not everyone in the family needs to be tall.)
It’s not easy being tall… The series will address the large set of unique challenges that tall people face every day, from custom-tailored clothes to adapting to a world not made for people of exceptional height. The show aims to explore the fascinating daily lives and journeys of unique and very tall people.

If interested please email: casting.jenniferdyal@gmail.com with name, age, height, location, a brief bio, and please include several recent photos of you and family if applicable.

This could be a great opportunity for extra tall people and possibly their family. It appears I am too short for this one!
