There I was . . . riding our notorious public transit, trying to pretend the Bugatti was in shop waiting for a part from some exotic warehouse in Milan, when I saw her.I’ve seen her quite a bit on this route.
She lives in my best friend’s neighbourhood. And she was wearing pink, 5” shoes. My heart went out to her.
The bus came to where I had to get off and she also disembarks at the same stop. Along with some others, she deftly trots out the door and I had assumed she would follow the concrete sidewalk around the corner and avoid the grassy knoll the others were taking advantage off to cheat the big corner.
She did not.
She expertly and without a flinch stepped through the grass, damp from a small misty rain in the morning, and emerged onto the sidewalk ahead of me and stepping out quite nicely thank you very much.
No trouble walking there.
The kicker is this: a girl wearing flip flops tripped in the grass and slid to the ground. I guy helped her up, a little red faced, as the flip flops caused the accident. The girl in the 5” heels walking across the grass. No problem.
I even saw a little smile pass along my cohort’s face as she glanced at me. We shared a knowing look.
It matters not, if your heels are 6” high or flat as pancake. If you can’t walk properly – you fall. Cavemen knew this – that’s why they never wore flip flops!
Okay . . . that’s a stretch . . . I know. There was no distribution rights back then for their area.
But it just goes to show. High heel shoes do not necessarily cause you to walk funny.
And they are so elegant and classy. Ahhh, you say, why do hookers and exotic dancers wear them? Are they classy?
In their way . . . they are. If you want to titillate a crowd and bring admiring eyes to yourself, well, Birkenstocks just are not going to do the trick. (Unless you have a Birkenstock fetish which we will not discuss here and frankly – Yuck!)
High heel shoes and boots attract attention to the leg, your thighs are straightened out and the leg is lengthened. These are facts. (Hey I’ve read the whole Wikipedia entry on this!) But more importantly, it’s very sexy for the one doing the wearing. Once mastered, you feel confident and sexy. The shoes help the rest of you feel sexy and this eminates from you as you wear them.
So if you feel down and a little bloated – wear the high heels. They’ll make you feel better about yourself.
Oh, and . . . if you’re wearing flips flops . . . do be careful crossing slippery grass.
Heelfully Yours
Gillian
