Ginger Rogers Would Not Approve
There’s nothing that reminds me more of a cheap hooker at the end of her shift than a woman who can’t walk in heels. Every weekend in my neighborhood, Hollywood Boulevard is crawling with women who have their arms crossed in front of their chests and are stooped over, teetering forward at an almost 45 degree angle. I call these women High Heel Hunchbacks. My rule of thumb regarding heels is a simple one–if you cain’t walk in ‘em, don’t wear ‘em. And when I say walk, I really mean work.
That said, stiletto foot races, which seem to be as popular as Hasselhoff in Europe, are idiotic. Here are photos from a 100m high heel dash that took place over the weekend in Berlin:
First of all, everyone cheering on these women is a foot-fetish perv, the kind who takes candids of girls from behind, stalker-style and unbeknownst to them, and posts them on flickr. Gross. Second, this isn’t even for charity.
Finally, this is just not lady-like.
