Prom – Modest is Hottest
April 30, 2013 By
This last week has been one of the busiest ever! My oldest son had his first prom and we hosted the dinner at our house. It was a success and everyone had a great time. I want to show you a few photos. The day started out with the prom day date. First was a yummy brunch followed by "The Amazing Race". It consisted of a race between 2 team trying to take the most photos in a given time from a list. The most creative photos got extra points. They wore the above badges as it identified them as doing some unusual when they approached people for help in completing their tasks. I got the template for the badges here. These are great kids having good, clean fun. Here's a few photos I love: They were supposed to take a photo with everyone in a box. Next is eating a hotdog. Now they are arriving in style for dinner hosted by myself, Mr. Tall, my friend and her husband. My son is the 4th guy with the date in the maroon dress. I love that these ladies are … [Read more...]
The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner
April 12, 2013 By
Last night I had the fabulous opportunity of listening to Liz Edmunds, "The Food Nanny" demonstrate her food plan. I was so excited to attend as I've been watching her cooking show for a few years now. (Found on Dish Network channel 9403). This lady is the real deal! She practices what she preaches! Liz raised 7 children while her husband was an Air Force pilot and was gone for extensive periods of time. She realized that by making dinner every night, regardless of who was home, this was a way to establish a routine and keep her family bonded together. Liz has written a cookbook called "The Food Nanny Rescues Dinner: Easy Family Meals for Every Day a Week". I was able to pick up a copy of the cookbook and I love that she uses real ingredients that I already have in my pantry and I can actually afford the meals. She gives you ideas for theme nights for every night of the week. That way you don't have to stress out about what to make for dinner. Liz travels the world with her … [Read more...]
Various Tall Clothing Reviews
April 8, 2013 By
Last week was Spring break and it was so much fun! We drove our motor home to San Diego for some salt water therapy. Mr. Tall drives the Winnebago like it's a Corvette and it's always an adventure! While there we rented a boat for a few hours and we tubed "Mission Bay". I also tried paddle boarding and must admit that either it's harder when you are tall or maybe I'm just getting old. Ugh! I fell in the bay twice, but ended up figuring out my balance for the last 10 minutes. My teen sons had no problem figuring it out. At least they didn't laugh too hard when I fell in. But, I loved paddle boarding, so it's something I will try again. I'm rocking a painful sunburn (not on purpose) - seems my Swedish skin burns easier these days. Here's a couple of pictures to show you what we did. We drove the entire way home yesterday (12 hrs) and my 3 year old got ill and was vomiting the entire way home and all of last night. So today my brain is mush! She's finally watching … [Read more...]
So You Want to be a Model?
April 2, 2013 By
I don't know that I've ever mentioned my modeling experience here on Tall Snob. But after posting a picture from a recent job, Krista asked me to write a post with some helpful hints for those of you who might be interested in breaking into the biz (or those of you who have children who would be interested). I happily obliged. An audience of tall women makes perfect sense for the topic! While there are many annoying questions we get as tall women, "Do you model?" certainly isn't one of them! Modeling is one of those creative fields where it is tough to get information and there are many scammers out there who will tell you only what you want to hear simply to get your hard earned cash. So here is a snippet of my experience sprinkled with some advice for you. Disclaimer: Please be aware that I am not an expert and am recently not actively modeling. I don't have all the answers and because it's a creative field, experiences vary from market to market, region to region, and agency … [Read more...]

Neon Brights
March 14, 2013 By
I have always loved neon. Remember zinc? That neon paste that people wore on their noses to prevent sunscreen. I wore it on my lips. As lipstick. My family teased me about that forever. They could see my lips a mile away. Fast forward 20+ years. (Wow. 20 years?!) and I still love color. Yes I've toned down the lips a bit. But I'm still not afraid to rock a little neon. While browsing Pinterest I noticed a few fun pins featuring neon color and outfits. And this post was born. Enjoy my neon picks: Incorporating neon by way of accessories is a lot less scary than rocking a full fledged neon shirt. or dress. or pants. This is a small way to embrace the trend. Milani Neon Nail Lacquer, Pink Rocks! 508, .45 fl oz. Women’s Neon Trim Straw Fedoras. Ice Watch Silicone Watch in Neon Pink. Aldo Verissimo (bone bag with pink trim). Nine West Dashall (Up to size 12). (orange fabric. also available in neon yellow and green). Sasha Handbag, Neon … [Read more...]
