High Heels Away!

After seeing models plummet from 14cm heels onto designer catwalks ending up nose to toe with the world's frontseat fashionistas (well known for their compassion) and definitely not wanting to emulate that trend, here are a couple of tips I have found browsing the web.

According to the Dr Scholl sounding "Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists" the key is the "G" factor - actually 4 of them - Glamour, Glide, Guide and Give.(?!)
Glamour- "head in the clouds" height, yes, but only on special occasions - especially if you can lean on your date. If not, keep him within falling distance.
Glide- NO RUNNING. Adopt the diva attitude, raise an eyebrow at all those people rushing about below (yes you are wearing your latest purchase-12cm of added height not counting the platform)
Guide- Let yourself be guided into buying the right size - even if it is not available in your favourite powder/lilac/gold shade. High Heels are an implulse buy, just like candy. Be strong enough to say no to a shoe that does not fit.
Give- your feet a little TLC before and after strutting.

Now that you have mastered that - Samba away ( I have always found better balance when listening to music on my i-pod I wish I could dance to)
