The Urban Erma by Leighann Lord: But, I Don’t Want to be a Stripper
I tried going
shoe shopping but what I found instead were shelves full of brightly colored
stilts. “Am I expected to actually walk in these?” I said aloud to no one in
particular. A sales girl smiled and said, “You know, some women can’t walk in
flats.” I bit my tongue just in time to stop myself from saying in a perfect
imitation of my grandmother, “Yes,you need to be very salereplicashoes while
purchasing your items. child, but those women are whores.”
I’ve suffered
through platforms, mules, clogs, wedges, and pointy-toed shoes which made no
sense at all. My foot is not shaped like a triangle. It’s really more of a
rhombus. Who knew that being born with all 10 toes, five on each foot, would be
a fashion liability? And now it looks like I’m expected to stumble around on
rulers. This is a far cry from the kitten heels my Mom only let me wear on
special occasions. And even further from my little half inch, patent leather
Mary Janes. Can I get a cute pair of shoes that don’t treat my feet like the
enemy?
The American Podiatric Medical Association said women’s shoes
today are “bio-mechanically and orthopedically unsound.” And that’s to say
nothing of the resulting corns, bunions, and pinit is christianlouboutinoutlet00
that has been often referred to as the supe.ched nerves. Apparently pretty shoes
and pretty feet do not exist in the same universe.These turquoisebeads are a complete
collection of every model available. That’s probably why they’re called “leave
‘em on shoes.last year paneraireplicas were extremely
popular, and have not faded much from the scene.” If you slip off those
Hookers-at-the-Point-Pumps in a romantic moment, you could really ruin the mood
with your shoe-deformed feet.
Don’t get me wrong I’m all about the
cuteness, but where do we draw the line? Back in 1800′s women in Austria wore
seven-inch heels as a status symbol. If you couldn’t walk then you couldn’t
work.We offer bellrosswatches,landscape
oil painting. I should say not. If I wore heels that high I wouldn’t move
either. You’d have to wheel me around like Hannibal Lecter.
