‘Tiny Tina’ Is She The World’s Smallest Lady?
I think not. But, we wanted to check it out for ourselves.
Page Crawford and I couldn’t resist. The announcer said Tiny Tina was so small, you could cradle her in your arms like a baby. The sign, inviting us inside said the exhibit was “educational.”
So we paid our buck and stepped inside the low, stuffy, tent. What we saw made us feel very awkward and uncomfortable. Tiny Tina, a little person, was sitting bail of hay holding a stack of pictures to autograph.
Page said, “Hi.”
Tiny Tina said nothing. Tiny Tina looked annoyed, downright angry if you ask me, and I don’t blame her. The tent was hot. She was just sitting there. And, I’m sure not everyone who walks through that exhibit is as nice as Page and I.
We pretty much ran from the tent, slightly embarrassed. I’m not sure I’ll go see the “World’s Largest Horse” now.
As an afterthought, I wish I would have gotten an autographed picture of Tiny Tina.

Well, if we speaking on the same “Smallest Woman in the World” I was at our State fair this weekend and my friend and I split up at the fair to only later to meet back, in front of the Smallest woman in the world exhibit. She told she went in and i should go. So I paid my buck or so my 4 yr old grand daughter and I went in. I felt obligated rite away to spark up conversation with her. Because I felt dumb just standing there looking at her like she was some kind of an amazing talking animal! She is a HUMAN BEING like us. But at the same time thats what she gets paid for and she does it like 6 months out the year. She was very small and adorable and we conversed for at least 15 minutes, to show her that i recognize that fact she is human. My grand daughter wasnt excited she just waved at the lady and stood there while we talked. I thought maybe she’d have some questions, because that’s what 4 year olds do, and she is never quiet! She had A great attitude with us.
Yah I went to go see her to and I agree it isn’t right too pay someone money to just be on diplay I hate that how a sick person could just put another person on display in a hot small room like that. I had a 2 min talk with her and learned that she is really not named Tina but some werid long name and is from Jamacia with a normal sized son and a normal sized daughter and that yes she does get paid but at what cost I mean I’m tall only 14 that dosn’t mean people can just put me on dispaly for money and say I’m the world’s tallest teenager blah blah blah. The worst thing to also do is look at her and run because just because she’s small dosen’t mean she doesn’t have feelings. This is wrong illeagel probably and just unhuman this should be stopped it’s just like how when they used to cage people who were a little different than me and you for display for freak shows except now there getting paid for it. Next time you see this lady give her something to make her feel better anything and make her feel welcomed and normal like how America should treat people, and don’t give her any money just to stand or dance or somthing if your going to give her money do it because you care.
Yeah i saw her at the new york state fair and i felt SOOOO guilty after seeing her. Me and my 2 friends walked in there and stood there for like 30 seconds staring cause we didn’t know what to say. but one of my friends asked if she could have one of the pictures of her in the little bucket next to her. then stood there for like 10 more seconds and i said bye and walked out. and i said to both of them “i feel so guilty for doing that”
I met Tiny Tina last night at the State Fair. Even though I stayed a bit to speak with her I still left feeling embarrassed and guilty. I really wasn’t expecting to see a “live” person even with the sign promising a cash reward if there wasn’t a living person in there, after all this is the fair. I was shocked when I saw her sitting there. I immediately said hello and asked how she was doing? She politely answered and after giving her a tip she offered a postcard with her photo on it. I picked it up and read that she was 31 and told her that I was older than her. She lit up and couldn’t believe she was younger than me…she guessed I was in my early 20s. Anyway, as nice as my little exchange was with her, it was my mechanism to cover for the shame I felt in paying to look at another human being.
TINY TINA IS SO COOL I COULD’NT BELIVE SHE WAS ACTUALLY REAL I WAS SURPISED SO MUCH SHE TALK TO ME !!!
Here is another good post about Tiny Tina at the NC State Fair with some pictures and videos
http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=1167178
well my daughter and her friend went in and we attempted to take a picture of her with the cellphone and she got mad and said ‘dont come in here fu**kin with me today’ after reading several posts I see now maybe we should have tried to be her friend and not starred at her like a science project.
My boyfriend and I saw Tiny Tina at the New York State Fair in 2009 and she was awesome. We chatted for a couple minutes and got an autographed picture.She was very friendly and we look forward to seeing her again next year at the fair.
i went to the fair this year and i saw her and she did look alittle upset she even cut her eyes at me i thought she couldent talk but i wunder dose she have a man or husband or kids
I met her today. She seemed sad, so me and my friends bought her ice cream and candy. She was really happy about it.
I met “Tiny Tina” today at the Great New York State Fair. I have met her before but now I am a radio DJ and I am doing a story on the fair. I wanted to have a piece of my story about these “sideshows”. Today was about 90 degrees and as I was walking down the midway taking notes, I hear the voice of the announcer for the Tiny Tina booth. I stop and pay my dollar to the black man collecting money who waved us in. I saw Tiny Tina looking bored as hell waiting for me to spark on conversation. I have heard rumors that she was forced to be there and that she was captured and put on display. I told her I saw her on the Internet and she wanted to know how to find it. I told her to punch in “Tiny Tina Fair” on google. She said she has Internet back at home. I asked her if she was being forced here and she shrugged her shoulders. I asked her again and she said “Not really. It’s my job, this is how I make a living. I have a manager and a booking person but I am not really being forced”. I asked if she could get out of it if she wanted and she said “I guess. I could be fired.” He answers were very short and to the point. It was very hot and humid in the tent even though there was a fan. She has many things in bags next to her. Her tiny shoes were off and her feet were barely touching the bottom of her podium. She said it gets very hot in there. She had also told me Tina is not her real name and she has a facebook but forgot the password and doesn’t want to start over again. After leaving the tent, a woman told the ticket man it was her sister and she was waved in. She handed Tiny Tina a pepsi. After that, I went to ‘Spider Girl’ who was fake and showed me she was fake. She also let me interview her LIVE on the air for the radio. Coulda sworn the money collector was the same dude. I am going to talk to Tiny Tina again tomorrow and get more information. Any info on here, please let me know.
I visited with Tina Tina, twice, at the New York State Fair and had a very pleasant and human conversation with her. As per the other posts, some of her answers were vague, but she did say that this is how she makes her money; not something that she really likes to do, but my compliments to her made her feel good inside. Although she’s very tiny, she’s got a really pretty face and from my visits, has a nice personality. Like others, being put on display isn’t what I would call a very pleasant experience, going through life, thinking that’s the only way one can make a living. Unanswered qustions leads to skepticism, and we have to feel for these who are put in a situation like hers. I would think Tiny Tina would be careful how she answers questions, which makes one wonder she could be rescued from such a demanding situation of sitting there all day long with limited breaks. She did say that she’s there from the start of the day, till the end of the day, and duration of the fair. I will visit her next year and make her laugh again. She’s an inspirational human being, despite her situation and we should all praise the Lord that we have it so good. God Bless you, Tiny Tina!
We saw Tiny Tina last night in Hammonton, NJ. We couldn’t stop talking about it. Her eyes were closed when we went in. She opened them and told us a little about herself. She’s 68 years old! It is VERY hot in that room. I don’t know how she does it. God bless Tina.
MET HER BUT I WANNA KNO WHY DO PEOPLE PAY THEIR DOLLLAR AND CANT GET A PICTURE OF HER & OR A CONVERSATION FROM HER ALL SHE DOES IS SITS LOOK UGLY & MEAN SMILE AND TALK SOMETIME
