The 5-foot, 11-inch model's legs measure 47 inches from
heel to hip bone – literally two thirds of her body.
"When I was in high school, I would have preferred to be
4-11 rather than 5-11. But my height has helped me to play
volleyball at a high level and to make a career out of
modeling," she told the New York Post.
Banker has studied to be an air traffic controller and majored in public relations at Penn State, where she played for a national championship volleyball team.
However, her fame kicked into high gear last year when she
started modeling with the Monarch Agency a year ago.
As long as Banker's legs are, they aren't the longest in the
world. That honor goes to Svetlana Pankratova of Falls
Church, Va., whose pins have been measured at 51.9
inches by Guinness World Records.
It should be noted that Pankratova is 6-foot 8, nine inches
taller than Banker.
Still, Banker's proportionately longer gams attract a lot of
attention, positive and negative.
"Most days someone will tell me I'm tall and have long
legs – as if I didn't know," she said, according to HuffPost
UK. "But I don't have a problem with being tall. I try to
use it for my benefit and be grateful for what I have. "I get
a lot of support from women who tell me they would love
to have my height and legs."
She gets a lot of interest from men, some of it not
appreciated.
"I don't want to sound creepy, but I get approached by a lot
of really short guys or guys with fetishes," she said.
