The preceding photos and many more just like them can be viewed ? for a fee, please note ? on HeatherHaven.com, the Website of a woman who calls herself Heather and claims to stand 6 feet 5-1/2 inches tall in her bare feet and over 7 feet tall in heels. She is not from Holland; nor, if those statistics are correct, is she really the tallest woman in the world ? that distinction belongs to 7-foot 7-1/4-inch Sandy Allen of Indiana, according to The Guinness Book of World Records.
Still, Heather is no pipsqueak, obviously, even if the photos of her are slightly misleading (she consistently poses in high heels next to people of shorter-than-average height, thereby enhancing her stature ? not that there's anything wrong with that). Albeit with considerably more glamor and self-determination, she is essentially marketing herself as a modern-day sideshow attraction à la Anna Swan of P.T. Barnum fame in the mid-1800s.
