Shoes / Footwear/ Heels / Sandals call it what you like, but women can't seem to get enough of this ever...there's is a strange connection between shoes and women...One can tell a lot about a woman depending on what she is wearing in her feet...Even if a woman has enough pairs to match with all her clothes she would want one more pair- why? because there's always that one perfect pair missing [its always going to be missing!] Mind you, selecting a pair is as much as a task as buying them and keeping them...its like a hobby...you just have to indulge in it whenever possible...its like how men like talking about cars, women like talking about shoes.
A few days back I was at an exhibition for wedding stuff...and all sorts of women turned out for it..in all kinds of footwear. There were women with flat sandals - the practical sensible variety who really were there to shop, then there were the PYTs in their strappies - the latest pickups from shopping websites, there were aunties who decided to put all their body weight [and that's a lot of body weight we're talking about] onto 3 inch thick heels with which they could barely walk forget strut...
What intrigued me most were the aunties in their heels. It looked like they were all competing to see who could walk the slowest...You know just looking at them, amused me...here were a bunch of ladies who were well into their late forties, early fifties and yet the confidence with which they walked in their heels was nothing less than amusing...After being on their feet for over 2 hours they could barely stand and yet they somehow managed to drag themselves everywhere, not once taking a break. I felt a bit sorry for their tired soles [souls].
Why do women wear these monstrously invented heels and torture themselves? How can one expect two poor looking 3 inch long wooden pegs to hold sooo much body weight? Makes me want to ask - what were you thinking??
