Blisters and callouses, uh huh. Foot cramps, yup. Double takes in the grocery store, and little girls eyeing them with wonder. It definitely all balances out somehow. And I don't really think you could take the hunger for "fashion" and beauty out of us even given a different set of values and circumstances...it's something in our core...I think...especially when I watch the little girls spin...you don't have to teach them that! oh…I love my red heels!

I totally laughed out loud when I read your words! There is a flip side, I think, where there is something powerful and strong about heels. They make you taller. You have to have better posture. So maybe it's just a neutral thing when you add up all the good and bad. As long as you don't fall down the stairs. ;) So true Chels! I totally laughed out loud when I read your words!
