WILKES-BARRE, Pa. Ever since age 11, when her height became apparent, Anita Pingue, who now stands at 6 feet tall, says it s been a challenge. From being younger having to go to the back of the line always, even taking pictures, having to go to the back, finding shoes that fit, she explained. Being tall has pretty much affected me like my whole life, and I m 35 years old.
So she s spent the last three years building a clothing brand called WEXIST INC, pronounced We exist, for tall women like her who can t find pants that are long enough or sweatshirts with sleeves that reach the wrist.
