speaking as a bloke, i've surprisingly *never* understood the whole 'high heel' thing. My understanding is that, in general, women wear them to look a) powerful, or b) sexy, because the average man in society likes the effect such shoes have on them, and the way they make the female leg appear longer and more, well, 'alluring'.
But me, never seen that. I find high-heeled shoes pretty ugly in fact :D and have never understood how people can be 'comfortable' wearing them. it always looks like people wearing them are almost falling over with every step, and that they're more-or-less walking on tiptoes and must be putting *enormous* strain on their lower leg.
but hey, since when has a good image stood in the way of any practicality?!
well, i'm not really your normal, common-or-garden male but ... it's a pleasure!
and no, you don't know me, i was just randomly LJ-interest-surfing and came along you. And you inspired me to post a reply, so :) Hope you didn't mind!
I know the "swallowed a fly" song. We had a record of it when I was small; I don't remember who made it.
I have found one or two songs that Roger and I didn't have in common growing up, because he lived mostly in different regions. I'm sorry I can't remember what they are right now, though.
I think I learned the old woman who swallowed a fly song in Tennessee. The moral of the story: No matter how bad your problems are, you can always find a way to make things worse for yourself.
I agree with you about high heels, they seem unnecessary and unhelpful. Of course, you yourself have a knack for making absolutely anything look fashionable - I don't know how you do it!
