  • I have scoliosis too but I don't know what degree my back is I haven't gotten an x-ray in a year or so. You are such an inspiration to me :)

  • is being tall that bad for a girl?? i am guy and 6'2 and wish i was taller like around 6'4/6'5 or so.

  • I thought i was tall (5'6).....but being tall is awesome hehe :)

  • i'm 15 and 5'9 1/2. i used to hate being tall and skinny but i've grown to accept and love it after watching your videos (:

  • I'm 15 and 5'10, tall girls are the best girls ;)

  • i'm 5'11" skinny girl too, but I dislike my height. Anyways I have a 36" inseam as well, I get all my jeans custom made at Indicustom, life saver for us tall girls!!

  • i am 11 years old and 5'6 i hope to be as tall as you!

  • oh my god. i love you so much <3 im 14 and im 5'7, obviously tall, and even taller for my age. and im still growing. i have eczema on my face as well. i cant tell you how it feels to know someone that understands how it feels. its horrible, my skin goes through these flareups about once a week and it would get so dry and unbarebly itchy and bright red and the corners of my lips would crack and now i have huge scars around my mouth and on my face where my nails peeled the skin right off.

  • how are you so confident. I wish I had your confidence. I'm 13 & 6''. Everyday at least 4 people at school point it out...it's really difficult haha.

  • I would never have the confidence to be tall, lol, you go girl!

  • Where do you find jeans that are reasonably priced? I am fairly tall and thin and I just can't find black jeans that are long enough and are well made. Btw, I have scoliosis, two bodies together, and eczema! Twins!

  • I also have scoliosis. And I am tall. 5'10" it is for me. I walked in a brace when I was 11 till my 16th.. Made me so insecure, I always thought people wouldn't like me because of that. But that is now almost 3 years ago and I don't care anymore. Yeah, I wish my scoliosis was gone a lot of the days, because of the pain. But now I am happy again. I know my friends and family love me because of the way I am.

  • exercise routine? :)

  • You're still gorgeous inside AND out!

  • can you do a full video about scoliosis i also have it and id love to see a video!

  • You look like Ashley Tisdale :)

  • i have THE EXACT SAME STORY

  • Thank you so much for this video, and u seem so nice, I really dont feel bad for myself anymore, i have always thot people thot i was ugly so i was so sad and depressed but ur right i dont need to worry about my imperfections.(:

  • im 16 and 6'1 and i LOVE IT!! 

  • I'm in junior high and a girl in my grade is over 6 feet tall it's outrageous

  • Omg...I have scoliosis and eczema too!!!

  • So proud of you.. you overcame your imperfections so wonderfully!

  • I have scoliosis too. I'm 25 similar body type as you except short 5ft tall and weigh less then 100 lbs. I have the same deal with my waist straight on one side and curvy on the other. Most people don't know unless I point it out. I hate it but I have come to terms with it. It has not stopped me from wearing backless shirts or bikinis because I am happy with myself and my body. I also have eczema also luckily never have gotten it on my face.  You are a great role model for young girls/teens!

  • we have the same imperfections! haha i had very bad scoliosis, i had to get surgery end of jr. year of high school, but i understand the horrible back pain that you get! i also thought i was the only person who got such bad eczema that it cracks and bleeds. its nice to know that i share my imperfections with someone so beautiful, inside and out!

  • Your nor alone... I have egzema to and she's right it bleeds, and gets dry but mine also itches really bad... It's a pain especially in the winter times!

  • My body is so annoying. I am 5"0 and my legs are Wayyy linger than my torso so it's hard to find anything that looks good on my body...it may seem weird since I'm so short and have long legs but it's true:(

  • OMG i have scoliosis too. i love how humble, inspiring, and down to earth you are. you are truly a beautiful girl! :)

  • All of these videos are so empowering and inspiring. Thanks.

  • Thank you for having the courage to be honest. Girls see so many photoshopped images and they try to be that ‘perfect’, which just is not possible.

  • Oh, she looks like Ashley Tisdale?

    I kinda thought she looks more like Carly Cristman, but that's just me.

  • YOUR AWESOME!! i have the same problem with my back! when i was a sophmore i had to be home schooled cause my scoliosis was so bad I could barely walk, and I also have the same shaped body .

  • i have minor scholiosis and i have curves and an hourglass shape and my waist is like slightly different heights so it's so annoying!!!! nobody like notices it but it bugs me so much.

  • Hahaha you're childhood story is like mine ! I am 14 and 5 foot. Everyone in my highschool (including freshman class) is like 6 foot or more so I feel sooo short all the time, but where we are similar is I pray every night to get taller too haha. My whole family is short and I'd love it if for once I can be an outcast on something and be tall ! Hopefully one day my prayers will come true(:

    You are a true role model to be honest !(:

  • Thank you so very much for posting. I am so glad i just found this video... My 17 year was recently diagonsed with scolious too mild to med degree. She has a large hump on upper right back side. and is also unlevel on each side from growing fast... im going to show her this today... She will be happy to see someone like her isnt afraid to talk about it. DeeDee You are so positive and hope you rub off on her :)

  • your first 'imperfection' : I have that too

    especially when I go shopping my back hurts like HELL!

    and that's so not fair bcause I loooove shopping!

  • that is just like me, I have the same problem with my stomach, I don't know what shape I am because the sides of my stomach are not symmetrical !!

  • i cllick this video cuz i thgout i saw ashley tisdale

  • u remind me of milly&becky russo and ashley tisdale!!

  • I have to do Pilates all the time because of my back . My spine could not be hold by my muscles anymore because after years of gymnastics I stopped within like 2 weeks and went from going to the gym 6 times a week to not doing any sports at all .

  • I shattered my elbow when i was 6 and ugh i have the worst scar but i can bend my elbow in cool ways (:

  • I have Scoliosis, too! I have it really bad, my degree is about a 60 on the top and a 70 at the bottom, but it used to be a lottt worse. I've had two surgeries and I have tow rods and 26 pins down my spine, and I used to have to wear a brace. It was horrrible. haha. You're lucky you're still so tall, though! Because my spine is curved sooo much, I'm only 4 foot 8 inches, and I'm 20 years old. hahaha. My real height should actually be like five foot seven or five foot eight. It sucksss. haha.

  • i rather be tall than short and stubby any day.

  • You have no idea how happy you just made me. I watched your confidence video, that ALONE changed my thoughts. THEN, you talk about not having a symmetrical body... I have scoliosis exactly the way you do. EXACT. I have a straight side and an hourglass side, and you kind of help me become okay with that. And I also have extreme pain. I love you. So much. And, who cares if anyone ever did think we are unsymmetrical, they don't have to live with it, WE DO, so WHO CARES WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS! :)

  • @chyennemalloy Girls with Scoliosis and unsymmetrical bodies ftw! haha. I'm the same way. :P

  • @omgitsjennxox Well then we're the S-H-I-T :)

  • I know this video is really old but I have scoliosis too and I had to wear a back brace for three years. It sucked and I got made of so much for it in elementary school. Even though my spine is technically "healed", my back hurts so badly on some days that I seriously want to do nothing but lay in bed and whine about it. It's nice to know someone as admirable, and sweet as you shares the same imperfection as myself.

  • omg I can't believe you have scoliosis too! LOL

    I'm sorry is just that, I never see beautiful confident girls that have the same problem as I do.

    It's just nice to know that I'm not the only one.

    I luv your videos, you're really nice and funny. ;DDD

  • Comment removed

  • omg I know exactly what you mean about the seeing other girls as tall as you freaks you out! I'm 5'11 and I feel the same way!

  • @olivia51396 I'm 18 and 5"10. I've been this height since I was 14 lol yay for tall girls!

  • I love you so much...

    I have scoliosis aswell and people say the same things to me about how skinny and "perfect" I am and when I tell them I have scoliosis they're like "What are you talking about? I never noticed." Even so, it's still the one thing that I am seriously insecure about...so... thank you so much for doing this video.

  • I have NO idea why, but I have watched a ton of these perfect imperfections tags and they always kinda bug me, but this one was awesome for some reason. Loved it! :)

  • dry skin solution: shave with olive oil!

  • i love, "my eyelashes, they are long... and they do whatever I tell them to do"

  • this video made me like you so much more :)

    you're awesome carly <3

  • Yay! Someone else who's tall! :) I'm 15 and I'm 5'8. It always seems like everyone else is so much shorter than me. I was 5'6 when I was 12 and I felt like a friggen yeti.

  • @marina22x if you've only grown 2 inches in 3 years, you've probably almost stopped growing, so when you're an adult, you're gonna be the perfect height!! you're so lucky, be happy with it!! :) xx

  • i have scoliosis, but the worst thing is that as i am 5.3 and i don't seem to grow any taller my scoliosis doesn't get better nor worse...slow growth.

  • you should try "dream cream" from lush!!! i used to have horrible ecxema but now I apply dream cream every couple of days and it completely went away!! btw, you are gorgeous and i love your videos!! <3

  • Now why would someone judge a person like her. She is pretty who cares if she has scoliosis or whatever!!!

  • i wonder if you didnt have that curvature would u be even taller

  • Heeey! carly im 14 and well i use to have scoliosis! I recently got surgery and im doning better and im really short girl lol but i love being short and when i heard you have scoliosis i was in shock because tht was something i had

  • Carly, I'm 14 and I hate being a teenager. I was just wondering, did you feel th same way when you were my age?

  • I don't know if you have heard this before, but you look like Ashley Tisdale when she was blonde :)) Very pretty.

  • I know how you feel :( my spine actually shifted my rib cage as I was growing so now my ribs stick further out than they should and I have trouble losing weight because if I lose too much I'll look really sick.

  • DUDEEE YOUR PRETTY AFFFF ahaa I JUST NOTICED YOU LOOK LIKE ASHLEY TISDALE lol

  • :) You totally inspire me

  • i had SUCH bad eczema all over my arms and neck when i was in elementary schoool! i know how you feel!

  • i have scoliosis too & i'm getting surgery this summer :( - spending mii whole summer recovering won't be fun . . .

  • Ahh I know exactly what you mean about the scoliosis thing mine is exactly the same. I've found that most people don't notice it though or they just think I'm standing awkwardly. But yeah mine's pretty bad so I feel ya.

  • You so look like Ashley Tisdale!

  • omigosh u look so much like ashley tisdaleee

  • for your scoliosis i recomend you get the surgury! my best friend got the surgery and shes doing awesome with no pain.

  • i have eczema too :(

  • has anyone ever told you that you look like ashley tisdale??

  • Oh My God!!!!! I have a form of scoliosis!!!!! i'm always in pain too. I also have the half boy half girlie shape too I thought I was so wierd so I never wear bikinis. You totally made my day!!!

  • no way, i shattered my elbow into tons of pieces, too. i had to get 2 surgeries and screws in. does your elbow still give you trouble? my arm will never be the same anymore

  • I'm 5' 10 as well and I'm finally coming to terms with my height and startign to like it as I'm living in NYC and gives me modeling opportunities but I have a question I like never wear heels because of it.. do you wear heels often I know you're 5" 11 so I wasn't sure if you were comfortable being so tall w. heels and what's the tallest heel you'll wear.. thanks tall girls should stick together hahahaah DORKKK lol

  • You looks like Ashley Tisdale!!!!!! hahahaha

  • i have the same skin problem.. exactly. my skin just cracks all the time and i'm allergic to almost everything. i just hate it, i get red just as fast as the speed of light, but lately, i've been feeling a bit better about it, because, just like you said, some of my friends didn't even notice and i have some more friends with the same problem, it makes you feel better if you have someone who understands your problem :) and i just love your videos :)))

  • you look like ashley tisdale.

  • i have a 20 degree curve and my left shoulder is a lot higher than my left (i'm 5'7) and i have to be careful what shirts i wear because sometimes it falls off one shoulder and i can only wear one shoulder things that go on the left side

  • I have scoliosis tooooo; a 22 degree curve. My right shoulder is higher than my left :/ I'm 18 and only 5'3 :[ I wouldn't mind being as tall as you lol.

  • you look beautiful in this video ! :)<3

  • @OfficialKJ There's a difference between arrogance & confidance, I think she's just very confidant, nothing wrong with that.

  • I have eczema too and i always wear clothes to hide my arms :(

  • aaw carly you inspire me so much!!

    i am 13, and i am 5'9", so i know that ill hit 6 ft by the time i finish growing...

    in fact, im already taller than most of the ADULTS in my town!!

    seeing someone as tall as me, it just inspires me!

    i mean, ever since i found out how tall you were, while being so chic and sexy, i started wearing heels for no reason because it just makes me feel good!

    who cares if we're tall, tall is beautiful <3

  • OMG ! I Lovee youuu ! Thankyou so muchhh ! 

  • Your such a confident person and im jealous. I'm 15 and 5'7 maybe taller and I'm so insecure about my height!! Everyone always comments on how tall I am and it's so annoying. All my friends are like under 5'5 and I feel like a giant... Carly you should make a video on confidence! I love your videos..

  • @XxiHeart 5'7" and you feel giant!!?!?? hehe i am 13, and im 5'9" !!

    dont worry, all my friends are short too (one of them never hit 5 ft!!!)

    people at my school are always like 'woahh your tall!!!' i used to be like 'yeah *sad face*'

    but now im like 'yepp! i love it!!!' if they dont like it, thats their problem to deal with!!

    being tall is beautiful... embrace it <3

  • @millypoison88 Because my scar is really ugly & my doctor said my scar could fade away after they remove the metal .

  • woah! i have scoliosis too and my right side is hour glass shaped and my left side is straight...and the left side of my back is higher than the right...omg and i've had eczema my whole life and it SUCKs :( ehh...

  • lol 'tall girl syndrome' your funny Carly! Love your vids, keep it up! : )

  • I have scoliosis too! And last year when i was in year 8 and 9 i grew about 5 inches haha

  • I have scoliosis as well. An "S" curve. My biggest curve is 45 degrees :( I had to wear a brace for a couple of months when i was in 8th grade, but I finished growing early so I didn't have to wear it too long. My stomach is the SAME way. One of my arms is longer than the other.. well it looks that way. I'm always in pain too, I know exactly what you mean by waking up barely being able to move. It sucks :( you should make a video about it!

  • i'm 5'10 and i absolutely love it!

  • @RaexoBlondie13 Me too ! :)

  • you look like ashley tisdale

  • you are such a cute girl...

  • I have scoliosis too but I am only 5'7''

  • Omg you look stunning, what do you have on your cheeks and eyes. xx

  • aww carly, well i have scoliosis too. your not the only one :)

  • can you please be my best friend? YOU ARE THE CUTEST THING!

  • can you please be my best friend?

  • My sister suffers from eczema as well and she wanted to know if you use anything specific when it acts up

  • You look like Ashley Tisdale ;D

  • im tall too (about 5'10")... but for the longest time i had trouble appreciating it because guys i liked were always shorter, and i felt awkward and self conscious when i would walk with them. but im glad to see another girl who is tall and embraces it!

  • im jealous of your height :( id kill to be 5 "11... im only 5". its really super depressing.

  • I have severe eczema too. :( That's why I hate using eyeshadow in the winter, it makes my dryness on my eyes (one of the places I get the dryness most) sooo noticeable :/ Have you tried using elidel? Doubt I'm spelling it right but it deffinately helps me. Just don't use it regularly, my doctor said it could be cancerous if you do.. I hope I helped though!

  • Where do you find your jeans? I have a 37'' inseam as well and go to buckle to buy my jeans... But it's always nice to find another place if there is one!!!

  • yes i have scolliosis too. so i am curvy on on side and straight on the other. lol some it looks like i have a muffin top lol but i dont its just the way my hip pops out.

  • i love your videos but i hate how you edit them

  • Hi Carly. I'm 5'5" and I also have scoliosis. My curve is at a 26 degree angle, but I don't have a back/ back muscle pains...but yeah I thought I'de tell you that, because you're the only beauty guru I know that has scoliosis, and I feel like I can relate to you. Love you! :D

  • I really needed this. I've felt so ugly and unwanted lately "/ I just feel so "unpopular" or unable to make friends and it makes me feel horrible that my bestfriend is the one i see with all these friends. This was a good video <3

  • I'm 6'0'' and I have scoliosis too :O

  • you are perfect to me. I want to be tall so so bad but im only 5ft. I dont think I can grow any taller.

  • i have scoliosis too. I had a growth spirt of about 5 -3 inches each year for two years, but i'm only 5ft! none of my friends understand my back pain and it's frustrating. what degree curvature did you have?

  • I also have eczema, I feel your pain! xxx

  • I wish I could have a growth spurt T.T

  • I have scoliosis also; it is so uncomfortable. I cannot stand up straight either

  • great u r sooo humble i love ur personality! <3

  • Ahhh. I really feel for you about your 3 imperfections. I can really relate, specifically about the 1st one. Thanks for letting us know, it really did make me feel better - knowing that I'm not the only one.

  • Great video! :)) You are so pretty!

  • hey i have a question how do you keep your back straight i'm tall too and that is a big problem

  • hey carly!!! I was watching some of your videos cuz i LOVE ur style and was thinking you should have yout own line since you know so much about fashion. Just an idea but I think you should consider it...

  • Aww I loved this video! You seem like such a midwestern sweetheart and have inspired me to really appreciate how tall I am.

  • i love how you're so confident, i hope i can get to a point like that one day

    and random but i've noticed this everytime i watch your videos, you look so much like blake lively to me. i feel like i'm just watching serena do a makeup tutorial sometimes haha

  • I´m also 5'11'' :) do you often wear high heels? when I wear heels I feel like im to tall, do you?

  • Thank you for sharing some really personal things with us about yourself!

    Hats off to you for keeping it real ;)

    Kali

  • you kind of remind of ashley tisdale for some reason :)

    and in this video, your skin looks really dewy and pretty! not dry at all

  • i also have scoliosis! i wouldve never thought you would have it ! my scoliosis made me shorter :(

  • i have scoliosis as well but mine is acually 85%. its very bad, and i breakdown almost everytime i go shopping because it is sooo hard to conceal my back without looking like im drowning in my clothes. i love fashion though! i hate it, but im praying for a miracle<3

    and im glad to know im not alone:)

  • @anothergirll Oh girl I'm so sorry, 85 is bad :( You should really look into the surgery. It's helped a lot of people. It may be painful, but it's worth it. I'm at 45 degrees, but I'm waiting until I absolutely need it to get the surgery. My doctor said I shouldn't get worse though.. Hope all is well :)

  • Carly, what is that , that you are sitting in fron tof, is it a bed, or a couch or a big chair- ???can you please show us what it is??

    thank you

  • omg.. thank you so much for this video..

    that made me think different/better

  • I love this tag because it just goes to show that everyone has imperfections but can still be beautiful. All the gurus here on YouTube are so lovely and often seemingly perfect so it's refreshing to know that you have the same insecurities (and health problems!) as some of the viewers. Yours particularly was really interesting since you're right that we had NO IDEA you have scoliosis and eczema. I thought you had great style before but this puts a new spin on just how well you dress yourself.
