Tao Okamoto : (2) " I used to have a very difficult childhood because I was always the tallest girl in school, and everybody was staring at me and saying, ‘You are very different.’ Now, different is good. " - Tao Okamoto " I started modeling with a very negative part of me – I didn’t really like myself or how I looked because I was very tall for a Japanese girl. " - Tao Okamoto
