I don't mind being 14 feet tall...

 

I mean, the comments are a bit awkward sometimes...

"I would break my ankle in those shoes..."

"How do you walk in those?"

"Aren't you tall enough already?"

...and my favorite from my 81-year-old Nigerian father: 

"Now yor warring shoz so yoou ah 14 feets taal."

Whatever.

God made me tall so I can be closer to Him; I wear high heels simply to remind others of that fact.

sherpa vest is Gap; bag is from an art fair; sweater is American Eagle; denim and gloves are Urban Outfitters; shoes

I actually had to run in them to catch the bus. When I boarded, the driver twisted his head horizontally just to eye my boots as I swiped my card, "How tall are you without them on?" "5'10" I answered. "So you're like 7 feet with them?" "Like, 6'3" I answered. "Do you wear them when it's icy and snowy outside?" "No, never, I would never do that!" I replied. "So you're a little bit shorter when there's ice on the ground..." he laughed. "Yup!" I said. When I was stepping off the bus he kneeled the vehicle saying, "Lemme lower it so you don't have to step down as far..." That really cracked me up.
