The Pain of Beauty

[RylieCD]

ARGH! A couple of weeks ago, I was chasing my daughter and stubbed my toe on a door jam. My foot has been swollen for the last two weeks, so no heels :( yesterday I noticed that MOST of the swelling has subsided so I wanted to get the heels on. Well due to an upcoming move they wer boxed up and on a shelf, with another box on top. So you guessed it, When trying to get the boxes down one slid and caught me in the lip, no fat (plump) limps and fortunately not tooth damage.

I would have to say my outings past, present, and future in 4"to 5 1/2" heels have caused me the greatest amount of pain.

Even now, my calves r sore 2 days after a shoot in hi heels last weekend!:doh:

Rylie,
You know the saying , accidents happen in threes , so watch out for the next one !!

WOW, Don't let OSHA know of your mishaps.
You might think of getting some steel toe shoes, and a hard hat.

Probably only my feet, and knees. I learned early on that wearing shoes too small for my feet, was detrimental to my foot health. Wearing them for too long, and I developed tingling and then numbness in my toes where they were crowded too much in the pointy tips of heels as my feet got forced into the inadequate space from sliding down. Then, it was a matter of just crunching my poor toes into the same spaces of even flats, because they just don't make giant girl's shoes for us poor fellows with giant (men's size 16) feet. Today, there are a few, and I mean VERY few (I only know of ONE style that comes in a size 17, for example, and only in black or white), shoes available for us in the far reaches of the sizes, but even those are hard to come by. I've been trying to find a pair of silver high heeled boots by Pleaser now, for eight years. They WERE made, once upon a time, but apparently a few lucky crossdressers scooped them up before I could!
Other than that, and the effects of wearing heels on my arthritic knees from changing the way my legs work, beauty hasn't been very painful; but then again, I'm not very beautiful, nor had any chance to be. Perhaps if there was any possibility that doing things that might have been painful could have made me into the pretty girl that I wanted to be, was possible, then maybe I would have been willing to undergo the pain, to achieve what I desired.
