Stiletto Pain

I'm sure by now, if you haven't read or watched the news, that you know of this kind of ridiculous story how a San Franciscan woman got into a physical altercation with a man over her Christian Louboutins. Literally, a heel to the face. Needless to say, he's pressing charges. 


But no, we won't dwell on the past and relive the story so let's move forward to the present. Let's discuss the ultimate theme of stilettos - pain for pleasure. (but in case you don't know this story, here's the link)

Whether you agree or not, women will pay bank for absurd things that others may find unimportant. In this case, incredibly high stilettos are a product and staple of society that are made to increase confidence, sex appeal, and power. So the question here is, what happens when those heel heights are just too damn high? Does it mean that when I fall, trip, roll my ankle, etc on the city streets of New York, that my ego also takes a hit? I'll say yes, for a hot minute. And then I'll brush off the embarrassment and say to myself 'I really don't care if I look drunk right now because I can't walk in my 5-inch heels and it's 8am on a Monday morning, these are Christian Louboutins and I will wear them ALL DAY!" 

For all the Louboutin-lover ballerinas in the world, rejoice! Christian Louboutin created these customized point-toe Loubies for the English National Ballet. You CAN wear designer shoes and exercise your arabesques, jetes, and pirouettes! Just don't exercise these down the street and/or after consuming a martini, that would be shoeicide. 

FACT: Pain and pleasure go hand-in-hand.

Ciao!
