I want to know who invented high heels...

It has to have been someone who never has to wear them. Lord knows i've been through all kinds of phases during my life, and working in offices has lent itself to many a high-heels wearing phase, but they have never been comfortable. Ever.

As i've gotten older and settled in my ways, i've made some important decisions, and one of them is that there is no way i'll wear high heels again if it is humanly possible to avoid doing so. Flats work just fine in dressy situations. With heels, there's the uncomfortable part, and then there's the limited mobility part. I like thinking i'll be able to, you know, beat up a ninja if one ever tried to attack me...I couldn't do that in heels. I'm just not that talented.

This is more my fashion template, but, you know, as a girl

And those that know me, know that the Pabst Tall-Boy usually is one of my weekend accoutrements, and not even in a deliberate ironic way, but a serious I-really-dig-Pabst-and-a-Tallboy-is-a-Dollar way.

Plus, you know, if you dig the Pabst Tallboys as I do (or Budweiser, or whatever your beer-in-a-can-du-jour is) then you know that heels and drunken revelry don't mix...it's hard enough to stumble around without them - why make life more difficult?
