And a happy new year to you all...

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a fantastic new year. I also hope that those who gave up smoking as their resolution have stuck to it thus far.

Girls, have you read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1103749/The-height-feminism-Or-high-heels-demean-women-sex-objects.html ? Apparently the wearing of heels is anti-feminist, demeans us and makes us little more than prostitutes...Unless, of course, you take the "for" argument and think that they're wonderful. I, personally, think heels are wonderful. And having just asked Dave, he thinks they are too. They make me feel sexy and femine. I like the fact that they bring my tiny 5ft2 stature up to a respectable 5ft5 at the very least. Not that I think being petite is always a bad thing, I just believe that a lot of people still think height = power and without height I'm kinda stuck when it comes to power. My legs look elongated and I'm instantly given better posture. Also, as a purely medical note, I suffer heavily with a condition called shin splints, as well as having high arches, I find that heels both support my arches and relieves the, sometimes crippling, pain in my shins, which is as good a reason as any to be wearing them.

Ladies, if for whatever reason you don't want to wear heels, whether you think that they demean you or are just plain uncomfortable, that's fine, but for goodness sake, don't try to make me feel bad for wearing them as refusals often offend.
