I simply couldn’t go to sleep until I posted this. Argh. You know how that goes, don’t you?

*sound of crickets chirping*

Right. Okay then. So here’s something that bothers me about women’s fashion: High heels. Sure, they can (sometimes) make a gal’s leg look sexier, but that only works until she starts moving unless she knows how to actually walk gracefully in heels. And too many women who wear heels, don’t.

What surprises me is that nobody tells any of these ladies that clumping along in heels only makes them look like unhappy robots, not sexy femmes fatale. I’m not kidding. I’m downtown almost every day, standing at the bus stop with little better to do than people-watch, and about half of the people I see are women. (Imagine that, eh?) Of those, close to half are wearing high-heeled shoes of some sort… and many of them are walking with a kind of stilted, uncomfortable gait that says louder than words, “Damn I hate these heels.”

So here’s my advice to any women who might stumble across this posting. If you’re not absolutely comfortable wearing high heels, don’t. Put on some more comfortable shoes and enjoy walking normally and naturally. Believe me, you’ll look a helluva lot more appealing, and be a lot more comfortable into the bargain!
