Heal the Heel or Shoo the Shoe
There was a time when beauty was in the eye of the beholder , when curves were coveted , large noses were considered exotic , and physical imperfections created the subtle charm that made every woman unique
Today however , the only beholder has become the face staring back at us when we look in the mirror . A harsh critic , often too quick to judge and all too convinced that beauty is defined by magazine covers and television shows
Thus each day begins with that layer of powder to mask the shame artificial blush to distract from the dreariness , flashy clothes to hide the insecurity and , most importantly , those glorious , sexy mischievously high heels that lift the body .and consequently the soul

I believe it is not so much because they want to hide away from the problem staring them in the face but because the reassurance of their feet still firmly planted on the earth is proof of their ability to escape all obstacles - to move forward , backward and sideways regardless of the situation -and ultimately to charge past all hurdles , to step into safer ground
Also , notice in the movies , when it comes time to introduce the sexy vixen , the camera usually starts from her feet (often clad in siren red pumps or sultry black sandals with straps that crisscross back and forth , then it moves up to show her perfectly shaped body and lastly her irresistible face . But it all began at the bottom .
