speaking of giants..




You might know that I am quite tall. Quite. Tall enough for people to ask if I play basketball, and if I date anyone shorter than me (no and yes, if you must). Tall enough to have trouble finding long trousers (like this gal) and to sleep diagonally in bed. Not so tall I bump my head on doorways, can pick up children with one hand, or live at the top of a beanstalk.

Nevertheless, when I saw this giant furniture created by Robert Therrien, I thought I want to see that. I’m kinda used to being up high, it would be awesome to be in a completely different scale, and feel small. I like artworks that use the ordinary and mundane and transport it to wonder by changing it in a small way, be it size or colour or location, or what it’s used for. Plus it's just groovy.

  1. Oh, groovy! That's groovy!

    I'm a giantess too so I totally relate to this post. It would feel amazing. I remember one day I was surrounded by really tall men (my hub is 6'4" and there were 2 taller than him!) and it felt really, really weird. Being tall is fab. x

  2. Oh, Pepper, you make me laugh (and not just at the 'groovy' part)! I can't imagine your predicament, given I am short. These are fabulous shots - it's all in the perspective! J x
