I probably do not understand this shoe thing, so I am publishing an article from a guy who seems to. Enjoy
In this oh so chic ultra high fashion world of today, it is not surprising that most little girls even as early as the age of 5 have a great interest for fashion magazines; flipping and staring at the glossy pages of models wearing the latest dress collection for spring or for autumn and for every season there is. Young girls have been found engaged in watching television gazing at the currently famous movie stars and Hollywood actors looking intently at every detail of their gown, their shirts, their jeans, their necklaces, their earrings and most of all, their high heels. Yes people, stilettos are still the in thing since then and until today. Every girl has at one point or another dreamed that one day when they have fully grown to be the woman they were born to be, they will get to own their very own pair of high heels and show the world what they got when it comes to style.
But there is more to high heels than just being a fad and making one look particularly trendy and vogue. For one high heels as its name suggest puts you in a higher place, that is literally from 3 to 4 or even more inches above the ground. This fact proves to be quite the solution for petite women who have always wanted to have that added height. Being vertically challenged may take a toll on some people. For one, it is usually the short people who gets picked on, intimidated and oppressed by their taller counterparts. With the help of high heels, the little people not only get altitude but a lot of them get the self confidence that they should have had in the first place.
Talking about confidence, such does not only come from being taller but also due to the actuality that a lot of people believe that high heels also make you look thinner and thus, sexier. These two convictions of being thinner and of being sexier may seem like a myth for some individuals but there is more truth to it than most people think. Because high heels elevate, they also make the legs appear elongated and therefore, create the illusion of thin legs and a thinner you. With this said, it is no longer a question why high heels make a person feel more sexy. Confidence does a lot to make a person sexy. High heels add another plus when it improves your posture. Wearing the heels makes you change your body stance. Such change makes your calf muscles become more prominent and well defined with your chest pushed out and butt out.
Most fashion aficionados know that high heels can be the very thing that can make or break an outfit. A skirt looks sexier when paired with high heels. A pair of pants can look more girly with high heels on. And all this confidence and sexiness comes at a small price. A lot of high heels are very affordable that any woman can have at least a pair. So make your feet happy and get those heels.

I was downtown for a course today, and it’s so true. You really can stand on the corner and watch the girls go by. All day if you had the time. Wow! ( see earlier post here )
At the other end of my relationship (when we were trying to reconcile) I used this song. I used to call up my wife and instead of saying hello, I would play 10 or 15 seconds of Unchained Melody to her before we would talk.
I first remember this one as the love theme from “Ghost”. It was beautiful.
Here is part of this famous Righteous Brothers song.
Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.
By the way, for all the romantics out there, my wedding day was 32 years ago today. Alas, the love died, but the good memories persist.
When I was dating my later-to-be wife I was working a summer job as a daftsman. One of our favourite songs at that time was Elton John’s Your Song.
One day I took a small piece of a translucent plastic like material and carefully printed the entire song on it using a special little tool we had at work. I then bundled it up with a card and presented it to her.
Anyhow, here is the chorus of that famous song that I dedicated to my true love (get out the kleenex!)
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
A guy I know calls this the original stalking song.
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

I just had to start my new blog off like this! Talk about famous writings on the topic of GIRLS.
Standing on the corner
watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner
watching all the girls go by
Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on the corner
watching all the girls,
watching all the girls,
watching all the girls go by
