Vlogs

Now I’m not sure if anyone actually reads this blog religiously but, incase there is someone out there who does, I should probably explain why I haven’t posted anything in a while.

Here come the usual excuses: I’ve got a lot of work, exams, sport, music- the list goes on (and is also surprisingly valid!). But they’re not really good excuses because I’ve still been writing. The problem is I’ve been writing vlogs.

I’ve been going through a phase of writing down my ideas for blogs exactly how I’d say them were I talking to another person. The issue is that I find blogging is  different to conversational speech, and there was no way my ramblings would ever coalesce into a coherent blog post! It is for this reason that I have left them as potential vlog scripts.

Oh, and that’s another thing- I don’t even make videos.

How I’ve started writing scripts for a non-existent youtube channel I have no idea. I just know that they’re a load of fun to write and, probably, a load of fun to film. Do I need another form of internet procrastination? No way! Will I do it anyway? Damn straight!

If you are content with my sporadic blogs, please do stay and read my ramblings. Though if you want to make sure I’m not dead between posts, my channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThatRetroEnglishGirl

There may or may not be videos on it in the near future.

Over and out!

PS: Having said all that, there are a couple of blogs I know I want to write too so I should be posting here more often then I portrayed! Also I’m off to Portugal tomorrow and my friend has recently informed me that the place we’re staying has no wifi, so I guess it’s goodbye for a week!

On Tall Girls and Heels

Despite the fact that my blog name is based around my immensely great height, I rarely write about it in post form. It comes up a lot more in real life and while most things are amusing, there is one thing that annoys me. That’s people saying that tall girls shouldn’t wear heels.

I understand that there are some people who don’t want to stand out from a crowd, so being tall is bad enough on its own without the added four to six inches from a pair of shoes! Though if you’re ok with being a bit leggier then most of your friends, I say wearing heels is awesome.

The chief problem circulating is the apparent rumour that guys don’t like it. This is just crazy. If they don’t want to go out with a girl who’s taller than them, you probably shouldn’t go out with them anyway. Even when you take those heels off, you’re not going to be more then a couple of inches shorter and I’ve found that inbuilt insecurity in guys pretty hard to shake off! I’ve found it’s a great way to get some guys off the ‘potential partner’ list, which is obviously an added plus!

My main point pro tall girls and heels is, quite simply, that they look good. Our legs look pretty endless anyway but with heels, they’re suddenly one of the best looking pairs of legs in the room! Get your posture right, hold your head high and don’t mind the people watching. If you can walk in them and you’re happy with your height, heels are an asset to every girl.

Over and out!

PS: I swear the blog about how I decorated my cupboard is coming at some point in the future!
