Bound feet and high heels (by sarah)
Today I went to a museum and read about the old Chinese custom of binding womens feet, the foot was curved in so that the weight ended up being taken on the heel and big tow when the woman walked or scuttled - now it occured to me that this must have been similar to high heels in wweight distrabution. Mainly this was done to the feet for fashion and cos it was seen as highly erotic - same as high heels - I wonder why? Why is something that is detramental to movement so erotic and sort after? Saying that what has happened to the world whilst I've been bizzy creating and looking after Jean? Everyone is so dressed up! And what is it with the hideous pointy toed shoes - witchy toes - lalalala - witchy toes tralalalala. And if they arent wearing that then they all look like they are from the 50's, 60's or 80's or that they are a cross between minni mouse and supermans girly (I cant spell her name ok).
Ok so now I have slated of a huge chunck of the population should I start on the wellies? Hmmm...
I'm not saying these cloths are bad (appart from pointy toed shoes especially if they have kitten heels) but why so dressed up all the time? Where are all the students in just jeans and T-shirts? They seemed to be absent 😕 Gosh things have really changed and I was only out of it for 2 yrs!
