The Junoesque will be a meeting place for all the Junoesque ladies of the world. Ladies of imposing height and beauty. Yes, tall is beautiful no matter what anyone says. This will be a place of refuge from the stares, the gawking, and the endless asinine comments. Because no one can really understand what it’s like unless they’ve been there. Me and my sister are 6’3″ and 6’4″ respectively. That is a foot taller than the “average woman”. So needless to say, we’ve been there.
We decided to start The Junoesque to share our personal experiences being “the tall girls”. We will share what we’ve learned along the way, things we wish we knew when we were growing up, stories we’re sure you all out there can relate to. We want our readers to know that we Junoesque are a rare breed, above above average. We are not alone, and we should never ever feel sorry for ourselves. Did you know that women over 5’10″ only make up 1% of the U.S. female population. Let me put it this way, 99% of U.S. women are shorter than you. You are not like everyone else. Isn’t that something to be proud of? Embrace your tallness. Embrace YOU!
Yes!! Thank You!!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Right on, sisters. I’m 6’2″ and proud of it (though it took me a while to get there!). My last blog post is about being tall and awesome, because I think it’s ace to be a little bit different. Keep it up
Hi Gemma. Thanks for stopping by! I love being different. How boring would it be to be just like everyone else?

Just stopping by to say that I really enjoy your site. I am only 5’8″ but I have the foot size of someone much taller…size 13. Plus my 11-year daughter is already 5’10 and wears a size 12 shoe. I am pretty sure she will end up being at least 6 feet by the time she finishes growing, so I will definitely be following the site and have added it to my blogroll.
Keep up the good work and take care!
Hi Wendy,
Thanks so much. I really glad you like it.
I know how your daughter feels; I was 6 feet tall when I was 10 and wore a size 12. Hopefully the blog will help her as she grows into her own.
Thank you,
Elayna
I just stumbled upon this site today and I am now convinced you are writing about my life. Standing at 6’3″ I can definitely relate to many of the “Tall Tales”
Thanks so much for the posts and keep it up! Us one percenters have to stick together!
Hey Sarah! Thanks for reading! You are welcome. I’m glad you like the site.

Just found your blog – beautiful! I wish you’d been around to fellowship with in the blogosphere when I was younger. I’m a meer 6′, and my oldest daughter is about 6’1″ – pretty short compared to you beauties! God bless you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. You are so sweet!
