What I find interesting, about this generation, is that a lot of fasion bloggers don't seem to see the oppression in all this hoopla (AKA high end fashion). They go with it as if it's "fun" to run around in 5 inch heels. So many more examples but I'll spare you. <br /><br /><br />I can't tell you how many fantasies I've had about heels just dissapearing...I'm proud to say I don't own one pair.Melissa Righerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785500131703115312noreply@blogger.com
