Ep 3. Being Tall is Expensive

In season 1 episode 3 of My Giant Life, titled "Being Tall is Expensive," viewers follow the daily struggles of four tall women as they navigate the challenges of their height. Alicia Jay is a 6'6" fashion blogger who is looking for a dress for her sister's wedding. Despite her love of fashion, Alicia has a hard time finding clothes that fit her body frame. She visits a tailor who can take her measurements and make her a custom dress. However, the cost of a custom-made dress is significantly higher than a standard-sized one. While she is happy with the result, Alicia realizes that being tall comes with a considerable financial burden.

Viewers also meet Lindsay Kay Hayward, who is 6'9" and an actress. She is working on a film where she has to act as a giantess, which requires her to wear a special corset to enhance her height. On top of the equipment needed to make her appear taller, she has to wear shoes that add inches to her height. This added expense is not something that her team budgeted for, so Lindsay has to cover the cost herself.

On the other hand, Katja Bavendam is a 6'8" athlete who needs to maintain her physique to compete at the highest level. However, to support her training, she requires high-calorie foods, which are more expensive than regular meals. Moreover, she constantly has to replace her shoes that wear out quickly due to the weight that they support.

Finally, viewers follow Colleen Smith, who is 6'6" and a personal trainer. Colleen focuses on staying fit and healthy, which requires paying for gym memberships and expensive workout gear. For her, pleasing her customers is a priority that pushes her to buy new equipment to keep up with trends in the industry.

The four women reveal that some of these purchases are necessary, while others are voluntary, needed to adapt to the world around them. They also show that being tall can come at a considerable cost, which adds up quickly over time. However, they are determined to live their lives to the fullest while facing these challenges head-on. Through their stories, viewers can get a glimpse into the difficulties that come with being a tall woman and how they handle these obstacles with grace.
