On the one hand, high heels make girls' legs look good. On the other hand, high heels hurt. Sigh...
Products of A Slightly Fevered Mind After A Long Girls' Night Out.
1. 28 Dresses Later a high-adrenaline zombie-bridesmaid thriller. When one dress too many turns the minds of the perpetual bridesmaid, they roam post-apocalyptic London, tearing to shreds everyone with well-manicured nails and biting them with their recently-whitened teeth. 2. I wake up, groggy, bed-headed, pajamaed. Lying next to me, fully dressed on top of the bed is Gregory Mankiw, the economist. "You're Greg Mankiw," I intelligently remark. He springs out of bed and stands up. "Would you like to discuss consumer surplus and tariffs?" "Why are you here?" I ask. "Don't you remember the Make-a-Wish Foundation?" 3. I was going to throw my tiara, but it turns out to be made of popcorn. "What a cheap groom I have," I think.

Spending so much time trying to look good and impress others = a life lived in fear of others' opinions. By all means be healthy, take care of your skin, and exercise. For all other attempts to be fakely beautiful, David O. McKay can take his painted barn and burn it.

That means we should strive to create the kind of environment where it's not EVER something that's just expected of women, even in a romantic context. A man who can't appreciate a woman out of her makeup and heels deserves scorn. . . and, when it comes to those of us who are well suited to that sort of thing, a man who can't appreciate us in them deserves pity.
That's all. ;)
And Jenny's partly right about the gait. Depends on the style of binding, but usually it created a more "swaying" gait. It was considered very alluring, though.
