It was an honor to connect with Amazon Sapphire Stone, a real life Amazon woman! We talked about life being a professional Amazonian content creator, as well as a variety of aspects of being tall and plus size. Enjoy!
representation, size acceptance, stigmas
I’m tall and plus size, but I don’t see many women completely OWN it like you do on your Instagram. When did you become comfortable referring to yourself as a “tall, strong, plus sized Queen?” and what do you like about it?
Aw thank you! Honestly, probably since I started producing amazonian and giantess content. Growing up I had always stuck out like a sore thumb and it wasn’t until I heard that there was an entire community who appreciated tall, plus size women that I was like “wow, this is where I fit in!”.
I think everybody wants to feel accepted in some fashion, but societal norms still dictate that a woman should be the “weaker, smaller, submissive” gender and being an Amazonian completely turns that narrative on its head whilst still giving you a sense of belonging.
Do you feel there are stigmas around being tall and plus size? If so, please tell!
Oh most definitely! I think there’s a general consensus that if you’re tall and plus size, then you must be confident and have a high tolerance level for “hate”, criticism…etc. A certain element of that is true, but you don’t really have an option to not be out there because, stature wise, you always are.
The second one is that you must be super strong. Like when people ask me my gym numbers, then they’re impressed, which is lovely, but when you compare it relatively to my body weight compared to absolute weight (so just the weight I’m lifting), a smaller person would beat me every time!
Lastly, but probably the biggest one is that tall girls don’t date short guys. Obviously I can’t speak for all tall girls, but I’ve dated more short guys than I have tall guys. Although everyone will probably hate me when I say that my husband is over half a foot taller than me haha!
Who were/are some of your idols growing up and now?
This is going to sound SO cliche, but my Nan. She was a tall queen herself (albeit her legs went on for days and she was the size of my little finger), but she always said 2 things to me, “be proud of your height and stand tall” and “we all come in the same way and we all go out the same way. Our coffin is still 6ft under and the same size, so stay humble”. It’s taken me a long time to embrace who I am and what I am, but those words definitely ring in my thoughts a lot.
Do you find women with a similar physical body type (tall & plus size) more relatable as idols/role models? i.e celebrities, influencers
I basically live under a rock anyways, but I find it so hard to find plus-sized, amazonian women with a big profile (outside of the fetish world). I definitely find anybody who is like me more relatable because obviously it resonates with me, but I think representation is so important. Especially as people are getting taller nowadays (but the fashion industry hasn’t quite caught up yet).
We know we draw a lot of attention as tall, plus size women. What are some of the common and annoying things guys will say to you when they’re trying to pick you up or when you’re in the gym etc.?
Okay, I want to do a series on this so stay tuned! (Shameless self promo there) BUT I have a book’s worth of quotes from when I was dating. I’ve always said being tall and plus-sized is like marmite. People either love it or they hate it. Some of my favourites are:
“I’d climb you like a tree”
“I want to be able to throw my woman, not my woman throw me”
“I don’t want my woman to bench more than me”
“If we spooned, it would be like you wearing a backpack”
“I’m the perfect height to your… *insert reference to your lumps, bumps and humps*•
“You wouldn’t be able to borrow my hoodies”
In terms of predominately testosterone-fuelled and egotistical places, such as the gym. I usually just get people watching me or stare at me working out and my numbers. I had a guy jump on my back once (mid-lift) and be like “am I not heavy?”. Then he got butt hurt when I said no. I think having a larger presence brings out people’s ego and challenging side if that makes sense? (Oh, I know all about it!)
fashion
What’s the hardest piece of clothing to find for your tall, plus size body? And is there anywhere you’d recommend finding that piece?
LITERALLY ANYTHING! I’m not a fashionista (as much as I’d love to be), but there is just not the representation for tall, plus-sized women. Like there’s “tall” sections, but all of the models are size 6 or 8. Then there’s “plus” or “curve”, but the majority of the models are like 5’2. I could probably count on one hand the fashion brands that support long lengths in plus sizes. Otherwise it’s too small or short and boxy.
I find it hard as well because I have a curvy body shape where I hold the majority of my weight in my legs and hips, then I have a much smaller waist. So I need things larger around my thighs, but smaller for my waist.
Where do you shop for jeans?
I’m like Mark Zuckerberg. I live in leggings and hoodies, but my go-to pair of tall plus size jeans (which don’t come out very often) are from Simply Be. I haven’t found somewhere that’s consistently good for my body type. My go-to leggings are from Fabletics though!
Are there any clothing designers/ranges that you’d recommend for women with a similar body type (tall/curvy/broad shoulders?)
Places that I’ve had success from (but this is like one article of clothing in a whole haul or having to buy 3 different sizes in the hope one is THE one) are SimplyBe, ASOS and Yours Clothing.
Define your style.
Hobo! No, I’m kidding…kinda. As I say, I just live in leggings and hoodies. However, I do love having a reason to dress up, put on a gorgeous dress and some BIGGGG heels and own being a tall, plus-sized queen!
content creation
One glance at your page will tell anyone you’re a very successful content creator, focusing on non-sexual content such as lifting people, and giantess content. This generally differs from a lot of ‘normal’ content creation. In your opinion, was there a gap in the market for a tall, strong plus size woman such as yourself to create this kind of content?
Aw thank you! Honestly, I find it mad when people want to interview me or are generally interested in me because I’m just a normal person. I can’t say that I don’t get absolutely gassed when I get asked though haha!
So firstly, I’m going to preface this by saying the focus here is on the “non-sexual” because I think people assume it always is due to the crossover with it being a niche fetish and mixing with the whole dominatrix type vibe. Obviously there’s a huge following of people who do enjoy it from an after hours point of view, but there’s so much to it that is genuinely just a laugh.
There’s definitely a gap for it and you see more tall women come out of the woodwork all the time, but the market is so much smaller for taller, plus-sized women.
If there are any women reading this who have considered content creation, either as a main gig or side hustle, but are unsure or don’t know where to start, what would your advice be?
Just do it. I couldn’t believe that there was a market for this type of thing when I found out and when someone told me, I thought they were joking. As long as you work within your boundaries, then it’s so much fun. It’s a great way to meet people like yourself, make money and have a laugh!
Whenever I collaborate with people, it’s always fun and quite frankly, the easiest money you’ll ever make. The up side is it doesn’t take much to get started and you can make really good money from it, but you have to stay consistent as well.
Does the word fetish annoy you as much as it annoys me?
Yessssss! The second that the word “fetish” comes into play, people instantly think sex. Don’t get me wrong, there’s girls out there who will take this type of thing super X-rated because there’s definitely the market, but it’s the first thing that people’s minds go to when you say “oh I pick up small men and tower over them in huge heels”.
