European Tribune - Comments - 1. of May Open Thread

on my twenties-themed party (zoot rules!!!) I dressed like a maffiosi with high heeled boots. By one I stopped dancing, by three I thought the expression "my feet are killing me" was the understatement of the century.

You know, respect for all the shoe diaries and such - but WHY?

Mysteries of life.

Re: Too true (4.00 / 2)

it's an apparent lengthening of the lower half of the leg which is a secondary sexual characteristic and occurs during puberty in women.So high heel shoes advertise a womans fertility.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Too true (4.00 / 3)

It is certainly an advertisement. Wearing high heels is essentially saying I am prepared for pain in this forthcomlng relationship.

You can't be me, I'm taken
