I read where the Cannes Film Festival is caught up in a women's' fashion controversy...yep, as Tommy Tucker sang, "Put on your high heel sneakers wear your wig-hat on your head... "It appears that some actresses were turned away from the Cannes Film Festival 'Red Carpet' hoopla because they were NOT wearing high heel shoes.
Back in the ninth century, Persian Warriors (men) wore high heel shoes with purpose. The high heels allowed them to stand up in their horse's stirrups (without falling) and shoot their arrows. In the early 1900's women began wearing high heel shoes. The choice was not predicated on arrow shooting or personal comfort. Actually, the high heel shoe has created a long list of anatomical problems. So why wear them? It's a Peacock 'feather thing' folks! High heels lift the buttocks making it more prominent and creates the illusion of longer, thinner legs. Simply stated, women wear high heels for men.
I tell the women in my family that if they wish to be 'truly' emancipated they will ditch the heels and the over-sized purse. Can I get an Amen, ladies?
PS. Keep your 'wig-hats.' You'll use them when you hit 90 years old.
