New York Post

She's all fun & gams

-

New Yorker Holly Burt is the ruler of the “Gam of Thrones.”

The 6foot5 stunner, who used to get bullied over her legs, is now setting records with the longest drumsticks in America, at 49 ¹/₂ inches.

“Back in middle school, I was called daddy long legs, tree or giraffe — but the dating scene has gotten better since I moved to New York,” the Florida native told Barcroft Media. “My legs are definitely an asset now.”

Burt, 20, who currently lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, refuses to date anyone shorter than 6foot3, but says she has a lot of options.

“Fortunatel­y, New York is full of tall, hot men,” she said. “Guys will come up to me a lot and say things like, ‘Your legs are gorgeous’ or ‘You should be a model.’ ”

She also draws a lot of attention while riding the subway.

“I have to duck to get on, and when it’s busy, everyone’s eyes are always on me while they’re riding,” she told The Post.

Burt says she got her height from her “really, really tall” family — with everyone in her nuclear family topping 6 feet.

She has dabbled in modeling, but right now is focused on her graduate studies at Parsons School of Design.
