    While the exact age that most girls stop growing tends to vary, most usually believe it stops around age 18 or 1-2 years after a girl has started menstruating. Well, whichever answer is true, I was very surprised to believe that at 26-years-old, I have recently grown a full inch! I am now 5'5" instead of 5'4" LOL. While most people wouldn't see that as very significant, in modeling terms, that is big for me because I now officially meet the minimum height requirement for commercial/print modeling. Of course being 5'5" in the modeling industry still makes me a shorty and pretty much no better off in terms of trying to reach the runway (but that's not my goal anyway). I'm just happy that I don't have to fudge my height anymore or worry about a client or agency discriminating because I lack that one inch.

    How on Earth I managed to grow while in my mid to 20s is beyond me but I can't say that I'm complaining about it! haha.

    Hey!

    That's just a cute story!!! I have to say my other half has gone the other way - he was 5'11 (ahem) 4 years later he's 5'10.  I think he's more 5'9...hehe.  At this rate I will be taller than him.

    Hi, Rowena!

    LOL...awww, your poor sweetie! How does that work? haha. Is he in denial about somehow growing shorter? I guess he better practice good posture and avoid hunching over or slouching. Who knows? Maybe he can regain that extra inch back! =)
