Killer, Chunky, Cigarette …. HEELS!

Yes Virginia, the trends for shoes have become more and more Alexander McQueen.  You can’t sue Lady Gaga for her Cirque de France look; it seems fashionable these days to simply look smashingly uncomfortable!

Fine, I am personally guilty myself for owning a few, (alright, no use fibbing about it), several pairs of these killer heels, although I am not saying that it is absolute fun to rock with them.

Being a lady driver, one of the biggest pains with these shoes are the scratches on the heel part because of the friction caused by the car’s mat. But it has always been a royal pain for me having to shift from driving to walking and comfortable shoes just because I need to drive.

What really gets me is I am not the only woman guilty of trying to be so trendy and fashionable. I see hundreds and thousands of fashion victims such as myself. Wobbling, grazing even limping on malls, clubs, dining outlets and worst of all, pretending to have a good time in a Club. Do you know how painfully hard it is to have your toes and heel bone practically scream at you, “Stop it already!” and you are right smack in the middle of a silly cocktail party! 

My girlfriends and I look for the nearest table, wall, and hinge even, to grab on to achieve some sense of support. Isn't that hilarious? With us women being so downright competitive, there’s no giving up … do you think we will ever admit to each other that we are craving for morphine just to make the throbbing and the ache stop? Oh hell, no way! If you can rock with them shoes, I totally can, too!

Let me tell you, it is way uncomfortable.  Yes it makes me arch my back, make me look longer, slimmer even, totally gorgeous!  It bloats my self-esteem and damages the arches of my foot, yeah, but who cares about the suffering that needs to be endured, if I think and feel good about how I look?

These shoes are not called KILLER for nothing.  Even Chanel went all the way to accessorizing ladies’ shoes now with “guns”.  

You may prefer to use the “chunky” ones; these are the shoes you can use to whack the head of any mugger you can come across.  Trust me; they will definitely break his skull.  

Or the “cigarette” heels, reed like and thin heels that women use to balance their whole bodies with and prove that they can actually defy the law of gravity.

Not very long ago, in one of my rare visits to a fitness club, I heard one of the trainers yell at an obviously obese middle-aged lady who kept on screeching and groaning as she did her crunches; “you want to look good, then suffer, woman, enjoy the pain!”  Don’t I know this too well, we, women, can endure the utmost pain the world has ever known, childbirth; so what’s a little discomfort brought by pulled muscles, leg cramps, sprains, when we can totally look good?  Don’t get me wrong, we don’t do this for the men, we do this for ourselves!
