She’s so good with her stiletto
Or so Camilla Morton would have us believe:
Since writing the book How to Walk in High Heels, I have felt duty bound to practise what I preach. In my six-inch stilettos I keep my head held high and my eye on the goal. They are my shot of confidence and secret weapon against any rivals.
Well, of course they’re a weapon. They’d better be. Because you certainly aren’t going to run away from anyone in those six-inch heels.
There is a downside to living half a foot closer to the clouds, though:
It’s true that as a heels devotee, plasters, pedicures, paracetamol and taxis have become an integral part of life. I also have to admit that cobblestones have become the bane of my life. But then, what work of art was achieved without pain, tears and the occasional blister?
I suggest that if you’re going to think of yourself as a work of art, you should probably take better care of your canvas.
Then again, I suspect my viewpoint lies along a different axis than hers:
At a recent in-store evening at Browns, beautiful actress Rachel Weisz was wearing such incredible YSL high black patent heels that I didn’t notice anything above her ankles.
If I get to the point that I don’t notice anything above Rachel Weisz’ ankles, either I’ve been affected by a combination of pesticides and radiation or I’ve been epoxied to the floor.

I see a 2-picture deal in this woman’s future.

All the same, the lady has a good point. I’ve seen men repeatedly pay court to a relatively plain woman in heels, while an objectively better looking woman in flats languished in obscurity close by.
This doesn’t make sense to a lot of people — particularly, to a lot of women. Nevertheless, the effect is consistent. Watch for it and tell me you disagree.

52nd Street is one of the best albums Billy Joel ever recorded.
I’m sorry, what was the rest of the post about?
