Tall Women. Tall Personalities. Blind Dates. Nipple Piercings.

Height is a funny thing.  There's no way to shrink 'tallness' unlike the capability of shorter women that can wear heels of varying lengths to falsely advertise vertical prowess. I however, am not a partaker in wearing  sticks strategically and uncomfortably placed under my feet in order to dwell at higher altitudes.  It simply has never suited me even before I cut my hair and embraced my boyishly cute persona.  Which leads me to recall a hilarious conversation with one of my closest friends this morning.  Tall women vs. tall personalities. Blind dates and body piercings.  While both she and I are conveniently housed in small-ish frames (5'2-5'5), we undoubtedly have rather tall personalities.  I'd say at least in the 6 foot realm.  We're both confident (but not cocky), capable of controling a conversation if necessary or comfortably listening and observing, charming, funny, and in mutual opinions of one another, devestatingly cute.  All of which somehow magically adds inches to our frames...and maybe even our egos and self awareness.  Both of us have dated taller women but interestingly enough, my friend is struggling with an impending 'blind date' with a woman several inches taller than her, boastful of her 13 tattoos, pierced nipples and of an unknown height/weight proportion.  Given that no face to face introductions have yet taken place, this woman's English accent has my friend drooling all over her cell phone even when mystery woman speaks of needing a cigarette and cup of coffee....neither of these vices attractive in the least for my dear friend (well at least not the smoking part).  However, something about her pronunciations helps to slightly filter and soften the reality of potentially kissing an ash tray in a few weeks.  Depending on their height difference, those piercings could prove to be dangerous for my dear friend.  No accent is worth losing an eye over.  And even though she and I have 6' tall personalities, dating taller, mystery women of various size and piercing placement can be dangerous business.  Words of caution to ponder on this fine evening here in California.
