High Heels Wiggle Action

Your buttocks should thank your high heels.

Why?

Because a high heel will provide a very bootilicious display while walking that only shoes with a decent heel height can provide.

The other day, while standing at the stop waiting for some sort of transportation to whisk me away to parts unknown (as bus drivers in Melonville tend to get lost a lot), I noticed a rather shapely, attractive woman pass me wearing 3” heels.

As she passed I noticed she was wearing tight, but well fitting jeans. And with each step I noticed her one butt cheek rise, and as the heel of her shoe hit the pavement - followed closely by the ball, the whole motion caused her butt cheek to rise and then drop with a quick snap. Only to be quickly repeated by the other hip.

It was marvelous to watch and behold.

Flats won’t give your booty this motion.

Flip Flops cause you to shuffle, like an arthritic geriatric patient looking for shuffleboard.

That’s what a high heel does. It sexes up everything. If you want to be sexy. Start with your footwear. It only goes up from there!

High heels turn heads ... they do!

It’s amazing what effect high heel shoes have on men.

It can change your whole sexual appearance.

There I was sitting in a Subway shop in downtown Melonville, sitting with a Hypoglycemic sweat and about to dig into my turkey breast when I noticed there were several men milling about the front, as this shop doubles as a variety store, each guy getting another frosty from the machine.

Two rather attractive women stepped through the door. Both were very sexily dressed but one had on her feet… you guessed it… flip flops.

The second woman was wearing 4” heel sandals.

Which one was ogled by the men?!

Well… let’s say Miss Flip Flops lost. The guys hung around and teased each other and watched the woman in heels as she bought her purchase and tittered out the door… the men laughed in that way they have when they have been teased by a gorgeous woman.

Now I ask you? Would you not enjoy a gaggle of men enjoying your looks and in their testosteronial way with desire you?

Of course you would… it’s sexy to have that happen.

Only high heels can give you that awesome wiggle that says to the world… I enjoy my body.

So don those high heels and wiggle around while shopping. You’ll change the world.

Celebrities without high heels... yuck!

Oh those performers who go barefoot.

What makes them think they’re cool is beyond me . . . so there I was sitting, watching David Letterman and waiting with apprehension to see this new female singer that was all the rave.

Disappointed!

Not only was she a bad version of a cross between Tori Amos and Janis Joplin, and a consummate musical poser if I have ever seen one… she was on stage … Barefoot!

And she thought she was being original. She emphasized her barefootedness by doing a few kicks in the air… so all us home viewers could see how original she was.

I was appalled. Yes, it’s so anti-diva to be on stage… on David Letterman no less… barefoot.

Yes… it shows how cool and hip and anti-mainstream you are.

But as a singer … as a Diva. Yuck!

I mean I’ve seen Gwen Stefani dance and jump around a stage in 4” platforms with a 9” heel without so much as a hesitation. That was sexy. Two kicks in the air with bare feet… yawn!

A singer that is not wearing heels… that isn’t wearing something sexy or alluring or provocative is saying more than being anti-mainstream and anti-fashion. She’s screaming to all... boring.

Now Gwen is always wearing sexy or interesting shoes even if she’s wearing blingish, fast and furious attire. She shows off her choice in footwear and gives her props to the fetish people.

That's a star!

Heels, High Heels and Pumps! Hooray!

Oh those sexy, sexy heels! More please!

Last week was a very good week … if you’re a heel watcher such as I am. Why?

Because through my daily strolls through the City of Blandness (The Big Stink) or as others call it – Melonville – there were heels a plenty to see. Some in particular took great care in how they dressed along with their heels.

One, for instance, had a long tight black skirt to go with her 3” pumps – yes, a modest height I do agree but at least the effort was there and the sensuous look she presented more than made up for the lack of heel.

It was a business look but very sexy as well and when she walked, she walked with a confidence and a inner knowledge that she looked damned good.

Another wore a higher black patent heel in wedge form. About 4” high. Along with her tight khaki skirt it was a nice way of wearing high heels without being to – how should I say – vampy!

Still others had their heels on. All wearing 4” heels and one who had dared to the giddy heights of 5” high heels. They were bluish sandals and although they did nothing for her overall appearance I smiled with delight to see the attempt.

Even older ladies had donned the pump and were strutting about with style.

One gets weeks like this… although not often enough, if you ask me.

So girls… slip on those heels and walk. Strut and allow your inner vampiness to exude outwards. What could happen. Compliments! Admiring stares! Looking sexy! I can’t see a downside to any of this!

High Heels Will Make a Believer of You!

Why do high heels cause so much commotion?

In this world of Goths, cyber-goths, Geek-chic, skater wear, gangsta apparel where guys wear the clothing of people who hold nothing but disdain for them . . . or trailer park fashions… or the fight club look…

Why do high heel shoes and boots still cause the most consternation among the populace? It behooves me.

In fact, wearing high heels shuld be way done the list of those who 'stick out' in the crowd, so as they say.

I was walking the other day and heard some comments about my 6” heels, so I glanced quickly, as I usually do not pay attention to the Old Navy crowd nor consider their opinions even relevant, and... Sure enough... they were wearing Old Navy attire... from head to (gasp!) foot!

The understood meaning of their comments (the under story for you writers out their) is they were fashionably normal and I was not. Yet… all three of them looked identical. (does not that seem odd, I ask?) I had not seen this petty display since high school (admission: I was rocker punk then) and the same idea that because what they were wearing was what they considered normal, then everyone else was not unless they donned the same clothing.

This childish attitude I though passed when I left being a teenager behind. However, there is this tendency in the world to force people to wear what they feel others should wear. It went on during the middle ages with the sumptuary laws of the 14th century where it was decreed that those of the lower castes could not wear what was worn by the nobility.

There are places still like that today, only because we’re soooo 21st century (ahem… Iran, I’m talking about you) where the government decrees that women can only wear certain types of clothes. This is not out of step or thinking with those who wear nothing but, and only, Old Navy clothing. Same thing, different screen door!

Oops! Sorry, this turned into a political tract … but you see my point?

So I guess stars like Nicole Kidman, Gwen Stefani, Halle Berry, Courtney Love… and many others, are not so fashionable (given the opinions of some Old Navy dressed pundits) given the fact they wear high heels on a daily basis. Yes, no one even considers them attractive or sexy… no way. But one secret ingredient to their sexy persona is the care and attention they give their footwear (or at least their people do)!

So I’ll continue to wear my extreme heels because I can. And I hold the opinion that those who can’t wear them will continue to mock those who do because that’s what they are reduced to doing! But men will always be attracted to those who wear high heel shoes and boots … and if you want to test the theory…go to a party wearing flats and then go to another wearing heels. The difference will make you a believer!

Why Are High Heels Considered Weird and Other Shoes Are Not?

Oh when will it stop!

Recently, I was at a music festival here in Melonville and lo’ and behold, I actually saw some really nice footwear.

Some were wearing heels, and I even saw a Muslim women wearing an attractive pair of 3” heels which just goes to show you that even restrictive clothing religions can be somewhat skirted.

And several pairs of pumps plus even a couple of Goths wearing some very nice bootage. And all walked (I even saw someone running in heels) just fine thank you much with no discomfort.

However…

And there’s always a however when it comes to modern footwear.

There were more horrible flip flops everywhere. I’m afraid women can outdo men when it comes to slovenly attire. (eg The bedwear which is sometimes worn out to things such as music fests)

Yet there is a new form of footwear which must be stamped out! 

It is the Dutch wooden shoe come plastic sandal.

Ugly… I can’t begin to describe how ugly they are. The only thing that equals it in my mind was the fad (from British Columbia I might add) of the women wearing steel toed work boots out to restaurants and nightclubs.

These are not much better.

They make women walk like they’re wearing scuba flippers and the image is a mound of plastic encasing the foot similar to someone in a foot cast.

They must be stamped out.

And they say high heels are weird? Give me a break…

High Heels And Work... But of Course!

Wearing high heels to work? As far as I can see it is a good thing.

Why not wear them? In many cases it’s the best way to train your feet and you will attract the eye and admiration of everyone as you wear elegant footwear.

Some jobs prevent you from wearing them? Some will say.

Really! Umm … do you mean waitresing for instance? Not so. Here’s an interesting piece from the Baltimore Sun about those who wear high heels.

Samantha Vu has no problems with tending bar in 5-inch heels at Lucille's in Power Plant Live.

"It's only difficult when you're standing in one place for a long time," Vu, 27, said while serving gazpacho to a customer one recent Saturday night. "Otherwise, if you keep moving around, you don't get tired at all."
Or how about in a massage therapy clinic?

Luz Marina Tovar is on her feet all day long.And her choice of footwear for work as a massage therapist in Lutherville? Flat and practical, right?

Guess again."For me, the high heel is more comfortable ..., and I feel more elegant," said Tovar, 48, who works regularly in 6-inch heels at La Clinicia. "I never get tired of the higher heels!"Tovar -- who moved to Lutherville from her native Bogota, Columbia, four years ago -- is among a number of Baltimore-area women who have made pointy-toed, 6-inch pumps and stilettos an integral part of their workplace attire..
And there are many more women who have adopted the high heel at work and consider even a 2” heel a flat shoe.

Trish MacDonald, a local actress and producer at Uffington Productions Inc. in Baltimore, said women move differently depending on the shoes they're wearing."A woman in a pump or high heel moves sensually," said MacDonald, a regular La Clinica pedicure customer. "But the same woman in flip-flops walks a little ... sloppy."
Again, as I have said before, wearing high heels, once practiced, can be as easy as wearing any other shoe. You will gain a new sense of balance and be able to walk confidently over any surface area. I mean, can one run in flip flops? No! I’ve seen it attempted so many times and invariably one or both flip flops shoot off into the air or are left behind in the feeble attempt to run.

Like this person says:

MacDonald said she believes women are vain about their shoes because attractive footwear is "a confirmation of your femininity. Image is very important to me."
And I think the vanity works in the opposite direction. Those who are wearing flats, or beatup runners, or even flip flops recognize the fact they have shoddy footwear and instead of running out to get better shoes… just mock those who do wear high heels.

So wear you heels to work and relish the joy of wearing them everywhere.

Sex and power of the Mighty High Heel Shoe!

High heels evoke both sex and power. They're both coquettish and dominant at the same time. This is its essence… its allure.

I watched a special the other night where Chris Rock was talking about strippers and their collective decision to wear clear high heel platforms, as if there had been a convention and the choice of footwear had been put to a vote.

I laughed, thinking, hey how did that come about anyway?

No idea.

In socio-academic circles, this would be a clear collective Meme as Dawkins would point out. And it is! It happened of its own accord. But the underlying agreement had its roots in the miasma of ‘sex and power’.

Strippers and hookers, and well, teases too, know this implicitly. High heels convey two messages to the viewer: one of sex and the other of power – Simultaneously!!

This is the allure of the high heel.

When someone wears 6 inch heels and clicks down the sidewalk there are two things happening at the very same moment, thrown into the air for all to feel. One is the feeling of subservience, the attitude of submission to the heel and to the sex it implies. The wearer of such a set of shoes is telling all about her she likes sex, enjoys looking sexy, is promoting sex and is open to the idea of sex. While the other message is of dominance, of power, of intrigue and mystery, that the sex beheld in the high heel shoe is hers to command and you better do her bidding if you want to come anyway near it!

This is the root of the fear and mockery of high heel shoes and boots. The high heels intimidates all. It is fearful to the woman to wear such heels because she is afraid that she can not muster up to that level of sexiness, that she herself could not perform to a level of sex the shoe conveys. What happens if she isn’t good at sex or is afraid of sex. The high heel shoe becomes Kryptonite to her.

Meanwhile, men go through a similar but distinctly irrational thought process of anguish. What if he can’t match the sexiness of the wearer? What if he is challenged and can’t be fulfilling to that sexy shoe clad woman. What if he can’t please her? Or even can he be with a woman such as that?

So the natural reaction is to fear the high heel. Mock it, assign them to the tacky and the slut. Ahhh, but that’s wear the high heel lives and that is why strippers and hookers use this power. They understand its psychic power, its underlying mystery and the sexy hold it has on us. And it only gets sexier the deeper down in the sexual nightmare of perversity it sinks.

As I always say, "If I have to have super powers, I guess I would have to be a villian. They wear the best damend clothes!"

Bless the high heel shoe. It knows how to live!

To Stand Out In A Crowd - Wear High Heels!

One thing I noticed about Melonville… because most women wear the ugliest shoes imaginable, the really nice ones really stand out.

And that, I suppose, is the rub!

It’s probably all perspective. In a sea of ugly, brownish, smeared and scuffed rowboats, a bright shiny one really sticks out. And then the envy sets in.

However, if there are lots of shiny red boats, and shiny blue ones and shiny black ones, then it would become somewhat common face and accepted. Perspective.

Why do I say this. Well it’s like what I saw while reading an article from The Daily Mail.

Shoes are a passion, a hobby, a personal statement. You can tell a lot about a girl from her shoes - her confidence, her style, how much comfort she is prepared to sacrifice for that fabulous pair of heels. If my house were on fire, after my children, my shoes would be the first thing I'd save. 

By TESS STIMSON Daily Mail

A great pair of shoes, even a good pair of shoes, can lift your spirits and make you feel good about yourself. And that can go a long way further than that Prozac pill!

More importantly, good looking shoes can prevent you from injury. Most people, when they first see a pair of high heels being worn, usually the first comment I get, is how can you manage to walk in those things.

Same as anyone walking in Flip Flops. For example. I just heard from a friend of some one who gashed their head open, spilling blood and incurring a concussion, when they tripped on their Flips Flops and hit a cement wall. Cursed they be!

Sooooo….

Six inch heels can be no less dangerous. Someone said to me I can’t run in heels. Pish Posh, sure you can. Oh, you won’t pass Marion Jones, steroids notwithstanding, but you can shuffle along fairly well. Try running, or even stepping quickly in Flip Flops. You’ll be on the ground faster than one of Jay Leno’s jokes.

Yet, in a see of Flip Flops, running shoes and Marge Simpson’s Flops, a nice pair of heels really stands out and lends on air of sophistication, elegance and a hint of sexuality. The other day I was sitting in a bistro, sipping a cup of java, watching the sea of flip flops and running shoes walk by… yawn. When a statuesque lady walked into the shop wearing a pair of 5” heels. She seemed powerful and self assured. And well dressed.

And that’s all it takes.

Skirts and Heels, Skirts and Heels... Oh My!

There’s nothing like seeing a well fitting skirt with some high heel shoes.

Oh, sure… high heel shoes or boots look fantastic with jeans or pants. Yet, seeing a nice skirt, short or long, with a pair of heels is always refreshing and very sexy.

Provocative even.

And that is the way you should show of your heels… with a nice skirt. The skirt doesn’t have to be tight. It certainly helps, but a skirt that falls just right and enhances the shoes can do more than a tight skirt.

So put away the jean skirts. That’s so last millennium. Besides, if your over 18, it’s no longer chic. No longer cool.

Go with the classic black skirt. It always works, anytime of the year.

As for high heels shoes… the nice thing with a black skirt is you can use just about any colour other than brown.

Besides, if your going to invest high heel shoes that properly fit, then buying brown or even worst – burgundy – shoes is a total waste of money. And says more about your personality than it does about your fashion sense.

So ditch the brown shoes. For the love of all that is sacred, get rid of the brown shoes. Now what you have left will match nicely with those black skirts you just own.

And if after your brown shoe purge has left your shoe closet a little empty… well! Need I say it!! Shoe shopping!!!

The Walk Is All In The High Heel Shoes

Walking in high heel shoes corrects your gait.

It does. Really!

I noticed this the other day, while I was sitting in a shopping mall sipping a fresh cup of joe, when I started to notice the way some woman walk.

Odd, I thought to myself. There’s something I have overlooked. I noticed an attractive young lady with a snappy hair style and rather voluptuous breasts. She was well dressed although a little casual, but she was wearing the dreaded flip flops.

No matter… I mean … this is Flip flop town… after all.

Beside the point that wearing flips flops to a shopping mall rather than a pair of nicer shoes is akin to wearing scuba diving fins to a fancy restaurant, the flip flops, if worn all the time, I believe starts to train the wearer to walk like a penguin.

You heard it… like a penguin.

Why you ask?

I have noticed this trait over the years but never put it together. That wearing certain forms of shoes (e.g. flip flops, cowbot boots) causes the wearer to walk with a shuffle and the feet splayed outwards like a penguin.

Probably so they can walk in those shoes.

They kind of take on the appearance of a character in a Dr. Suess animation.

Whereas a person who wears high heel shoes is forced to walk in a straight line, one foot in front of the other, and causes the wearer to become conscious of each step and the way their body moves.

High heels trains the whole body to move with grace and precision, whereas if all you have worn are flops and runners, then you tend to walk like a football player… or even a penguin.

Therefore, I cry out to the modern world. Forsake the flops and runners and begin to wear high heels… for your own sake. At least stop wearing them in shopping malls. I mean really!

Shops Full Of High Heel Shoes, Shoppers Who Wear Flats

Without a doubt, high heels can elongate your legs and make them look sexier.

Then why is there so much argument about this.

In this day of age when botox injections, nip & tuck, liposuction, etc etc are all the vogue and tacitly accepted, why are high heels so venomously attacked as arbiters of crippledom.

I don’t get it.

Today, I saw an attractive young Malaysian in the mall, who was also a little on the skinny side and quite petite, wearing 4” heel pumps. She looked magnificent. Credit the high heel shoes.

They made her walk with grace and sexuality as her hips swayed with each step, making her more woman than a little girl, which is a look she could have easily adopted.

Hell, all the girls in the mall looked like BritSpearian tramps: all with lousy footwear. Yet all around them were shoe shops displaying marvelous selections of shoes and footwear. Alas, they were all adorned with flip flops.

I don’t get it.

I mean what is the harm in wearing even good or attractive shoes. I will even give you a pass to wear shoes that are not high heeled. Why is it so hard to wear attractive shoes?

Now, I live in a city where there are only two shoe seasons. Boots and flip flops. And it is also a University / College town so there are now thousands of young souls entering this city bringing with them the fashions from around the world.

But this city is strong! It has the strongest conformity factor known in the Universe. (A friend of mine from out of town once thought we had an acid wash denim factory here because when he visited he saw everyone wearing acid wash -- everything) Fads, once adopted, must be strictly adhered to lest yee be banished to less popular nightclubs.

It only takes a couple of weeks and presto – bango! They become assimilated. Apparently their resistance WAS futile.

Conformity, thy name is Melonville! It is hard to be well dressed or even slightly out of sorts of the faddish conformity this city presses upon one. Probably due to it's bible beltiness attitudes of "ye are either with us, or against us" this brings with it.

So why all the flat heeled shoes in this naked city? I attribute it to it’s coarseness in fashion. In other words, they do not have their Fash’ on … but rather have their Fash’ off!

I don’t get it.

Why Hide the High Heels? Why?

Wearing high heels can be secretive, if you want.

You don’t have to wear them with a tight skirt and a nice wide belt. You should… but you don’t have to is what I’m saying.

Why not show off your heels is my motto.

This came about when I noticed an attractive woman, very Mediterranean in appearance, who was wearing some nice boots with 4 inch high heel spikes. Perfect said I.

We were both riding the public transit and she was engrossed in a cell-phone conversation… but then who isn’t these days. I suspect more people get hit by buses while talking on their phones than one would imagine.

She got up and then I realized that the jeans she was wearing completely covered her heels and boots. The hem of the pant leg ended just at the floor completely obscuring the heel and all but the tip of her pointed boot.

Okay, if you are embarrassed about wearing heels, although, I can’t imagine why, this is the route to go. And I applaud the fact she was wearing some significant high heels. Yet, it almost felt like a hollow victory because the beauty of the heel was hidden, even though her gait was graceful and predicated by the heels which gave her that fantastic step.

Oh well… at least she was wearing heels. Perhaps I should take the victory and go home.

Which I did.
