Sofia: Huh?! Never, really.Are high heels a yes or no? Why?High heels are a must. The power of a stiletto heel has a great effect on a woman, regardless of her height. I do love the fact that I don't need heels to look long and lean, though. On a day-to-day basis, I mostly run around in flat boots or low heels. My experience has taught me that people see me as being a giant, no matter what shoes I have on. What's interesting, however, is how people always look down at my feet when they first meet me, like they're expecting me to be on stilts or something!Since typical cuteness standards like baby-doll dress wearing and ribbons in the hair aren't associated with tall girls, can you ever feel cute at your height? What are some of your tall-girl specialties?Who wants to look cute when you can look powerful? I dress according to my mood.How do you show off your legs?I don't have to. My legs speak for themselves. I do like to wear skirts and dresses in summer though.Do you get fetishised a lot?Yes, especially by short Mediterranean men who seem to think I come from a different planet. I have often been stopped on the street in Greece, for example, and asked how tall I am, whether I play basketball, model, etc. My sister once pretended I was a famous basketball player. It was hilarious. The truth is that I used to play ball in high school and college, and that I was average at it. I much prefer mountain biking and other non-team sports.

Olga: I don't like to wear really high high heels. It is inconvenient and senseless. I have enough height and my legs are long enough, so what's the point?How do you show off your legs?I like to wear short dresses and shorts. Unfortunately this is only possible in the warm season.Do you think your breasts (and, ahem, other parts) are bigger in comparison to other girls?I think that the size of a breast and other parts does not depend on your height. If it would be so, it would be funny.

Davina: YES! YES! YES! They make me feel feminine, sexy and thin. I do, however, have to make sure I don't look like a transvestite – as when you are tall you also have big features. My shoe size is 41-42 and I have the same size hands as most men.

Magdelena: I only had this situation once, with a Mexican guy. My boobs were approximately at his eye level and he was totally mesmerised, claiming that I was the tallest girl he ever had. I felt huge and I have to admit that I am not used to being treated as such an exceptional and, um, "extreme" person. This felt really uncomfortable – even thinking of it – ugh!Are high heels a yes or no? Why?I like heels a lot, even though they make me stick out. I am OK with it, even though it reduces my chances of meeting guys, because it limits my range drastically. There are tonnes of men my height or slightly taller, but significantly taller is hard. So, if I don't care and feel confident that day, I just throw on heels. They make my legs look great, I get an upright posture and my whole motion becomes very feminine.How easy is it for you to have sex in public toilets or other small and narrow places?Yeah, so there comes the Mexican guy into play again. He was tiny so it worked out, until we got thrown out of this club in Paris. (Damn those backpacker days!)Two-part question: Are you the one doing the "lean-down" when you kiss? And if so, how stiff is your neck after?This is one reason why I don't really do smaller guys. Having to lean down is so much less exciting than having to stand on your toes – fortunately at my height there still are guys who are way taller than me.

Sophie: Um, no. Actually I've never seen one from the inside.Are high heels a yes or no? Why?Tall girls have a right to have elongated legs too! Well, at 5'9", I'd really rather think it over, but at a size between 6'1"-6'2", who cares?! The others' perspectives hardly change anyway.Since typical cuteness standards like baby-doll dress wearing and ribbons in the hair aren't associated with tall girls, can you ever feel cute at your height? What are some of your tall-girl specialties?Oh yes, man, I'd love to be sweet, but playing cutesy, fluttering my lashes, pretending to be fragile just doesn't work – well, even though I really dig baby dolls, as t-shirts, I mean. But seriously, tall women just don't need to bust their hump to get some attention.How do you show off your legs?Heels, heels, heels! Or you cross them behind your head – that's way more easy with long legs!What's it like having sex with smaller guys when you're both standing?
By all means I'd say difficult! Well, if a guy needs to get himself a stool, it suddenly feels pretty hard to be excited.

Romana: Seriously, my legs are great. They are long and slender and in a good shape because I do lot of working out.How about your height?I stopped growing when I was 14, so middle school was tough – I got a lot of jokes. Nowadays, people tell me it's cool. You constantly get attention. I used to be asked on a daily basis whether I play basketball.Are high heels a yes or no? Why?When I was younger I wouldn't wear heels because I felt like a freaking giant. Now if I go out with my basketball friends I wear heels because it looks better. I can walk with confidence, even though especially in clubs when your head sticks out it can get somehow weird. Before [my] playing-basketball days, I enjoyed going out much less.
Funny thing is, when I am in [a] picture with a guy who isn't exactly tiny, nobody thinks that I am that tall, but everybody would say that the guy is short.Do you find yourself often entering plus-size clothing stores?My biggest problems are jeans. All the brands that are long enough are ridiculously expensive. And it's hard to find proper shoes too. So yeah, I have to go to these old-farts' stores and it sucks. But what should one do about it? Some of my friends opt for sneakers because they come in all sizes, but my foot is long and narrow. I have to tie everything all the way up. Chucks look horrible on my feet. I have to buy clothes randomly. If I see something that fits I just buy it.Do you prefer skirts or trousers?I used to be a tomboy, so it was baggy jeans and tight tops for me. Then I went to private school and all I could wear were short skirts. So at least I could show my legs.Can smaller men actually satisfy you?I had boyfriends that were my height and some who were shorter than me. As with clothes, I am too tall to be picky. But if they are really small, like 5"6', I can't handle it, even if they look good. It would look funny and make me feel uncomfortable and gigantic, even though I am relatively skinny.Do you get fetishised a lot?There is something about small guys being into tall girls. I don't get it. I think it has something to do with confidence. Some smaller men come up to me, hit on me in really dirty ways.Photos by Kurt Prinz
