Vanity be thy name

Katharine:
Whoever invented high heeled shoes is the devil. And sadly, according to Google, the "mother" of high heeled shoes was Catherine de Medici. Apparently in 1533, and at the tender age of 14, she married the future king of france. To make herself appear older for this event, she wore high heeled shoes. That BITCH! Being 14 is just no excuse for inflicting this pain on future generations of women. I'm running around work this morning in complete agony in my gorgeous, grey, suede high heels with the cute little bronze bow on them, and you'd think that I'd change into my sneakers since my feet are apparently in the process of a rebellion and trying to secede from the rest of my body. But no. I'm way to vain to put my sneakers on. Instead I am going to attempt to limp my way through the rest of the day.

I wonder if I can beg, grovel, plead with Jeff to come pick me up at work? ;-)

I'm going to have to pass on sitting in traffic for over an hour...each way. I would say changing into sneakers is a MUCH better solution. MUCH better.

Cute shoes. Men will never understand the sacrifices women make.

I'm going to have to start buying my shoes at ZAPPOS. Seems like the thing to do. I wonder what I would end up with. I'll be sure to write about THAT experience!

Is it considered a sacrifice if you LOVE the shoes? Hmmm?
