I WISH I could tell you about the Target pop-up shop that I was SUPPOSED to visit this past weekend, but I can’t. Why? Because my friend and I couldn’t get in.
I’m OBSESSED with Target (I mean, who isn’t??), so when I heard that the Target pop-up shop was coming to NYC, I was like I HAVE TO BE THERE. It started at 11 am, but it’s a Saturday soooo why would I even be up that early?? My friend and I got there around 4 and there were two employees at the end of the 3.5 BLOCK LONG line who told us that they couldn’t guarantee that we’d be able to go in since the pop-up shop was at capacity.
Literally crusty. So I will be living the experience through TikTok videos of the pop-up shop at this point :/
ANYWAYS, we’re just gonna get straight into this episode. I stumbled across a bunch of home renovation videos on TikTok the other day and this app knows me so well that it showed me a video of a tall family customizing their own home. Like from scratch. In the video, they literally had a picture of them sitting in front of the wood structure of their home.
Their home consisted of raised countertops, 8-foot doorways, 10-foot ceilings, etc. and this creator in particular documented her whole journey of creating her tall friendly home. And she’s not the only one. There was a whole slew of videos with tall people customizing and renovating their homes from raised countertops to higher cabinets to tall-friendly furniture. There were even tall friendly apartments with features that catered to tall people.
But how much does this stuff cost?
To raise your doorways, it can cost up to $1,000 per doorway. Raised countertops? Up to $3,000. Raise the height of your ceiling? Several THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. And we haven’t gotten to other specialized features like closets and tall friendly furniture.
In this episode, we explore how expensive it can be to live and exist as a tall person. Home customizations. Clothing. Healthcare. Transportation. Food???? To learn more about this and a very controversial opinion that comes from this, tune in to the full episode!
Thank you so so much for tuning in to this episode; I really appreciate it and I appreciate you. As always, feel free to hit me up on my socials and let me know what you thought about this episode. Do you think it’s expensive to be tall? Have you spent loads of money trying to create an environment that caters to your height? I’d love to know! Until then, I’ll catch you in the next one!
Goodnight and goodbyyyyyeee,
India
