Are you a ‘too’ girl? Too skinny? Too fat? Too short?

by Carly Jacobs

I was reading an old Grace Kelly interview at the gym yesterday. She said she found it daunting being a beauty icon because she was a Too Girl. Too leggy, too chin-ey, too tall. Too much.

I’ve always thought my hair was too curly, too frizzy… but not a day goes by when someone doesn’t tell me how amazing it is.

I’ve always thought I was too tall, too big… but I can gain a five sneaky kilos and no one notices.

I’ve always thought I was too loud, too obnoxious… but I make people laugh every day.

Have you ever thought that too much might be just right?

What about you? Are you a too girl? Is your ‘too much’ just enough? Share!

Love,

Carly

New “too” you and I love it!

And I am “too” not interested to care what other people think of me. And that makes me “too”happy to give a shit!

Looking forward “too”getting “too”know you through your blog.

I’m ‘too’ everything. Too opinionated, too loud, too large, too tall. Definitely too big. And far, far, too aware of myself! But watching ‘Mad Men’ has rejuvenated my faith in the ‘big’ girls. Go, size 14s with curves. You shall take over the world….

Looks-wise, I’m not enough; neither tall nor short, fair nor dark, blond nor brunette, big nor small… I feel fascinating inside, but my outsides are completely forgettable.

My INSIDES, however, are too bold for my old, sexist religion, too smart to get suckered by ad campaigns, and too sensitive to watch “Hell’s Kitchen”— so many bullies! =)

Great post!

I’m definitely too tall (6 foot) and I love it. It may be a pain to buy pants (and skirts, and dresses, and shorts), but I’ve got legs that go till next Tuesday.

My hair’s also far too curly, but when I got sick earlier this year and started losing a lot of my hair, all the volume from the curls kept anyone else from noticing. And now I’m getting better, and I love seeing new little springy curls growing back.

And plenty of people tell me I’m too sensitive, but it’s that same sensitivity that has allowed me to develop and keep friendships with people who I love, and who love me, more than I ever would have imagined possible.

I’m too short, my chin is too double, I’m too loud and I worry too much. But I’m pretty happy with the way it all works out for me!

I’m too tall. My legs are too long. My hair is too curly, too frizzy. My skin is way too pale. I’m too opinionated. I’m………….to awesome for words.

I am quite short, only five feet tall. My mother is the exact same height and she is always banging on about how she’s too short, and she wishes she were taller. I’ve never had a problem with my height. If I want to be taller, I can slip on a pair of heels. I’m petite and cute, I’m a pocket rocket.
The only time I feel that I’m too short is when I go shopping for pants, and I always wind up in the girls section.
