Those Heels of Hers!

To wear, or not to wear? Wondering what this is about right!? Heels…..almost every lady has them, whether or not they walk properly in them, some don’t even wear them at all; but we all own at least a pair of heels.

Two days ago, I attended a wedding, beautiful people; nice décor, amazing light works and the bride’s maids were totally off the hook. They were in fuchsia-pink dresses and nude shoes, nicely styled hair, flawless make-up (except for a few ridiculously carved eye-brows), and they were brown-skinned…..yes! I love the African brown skin. This description is what I saw as I stepped into the reception hall, it was time for pictures and everything was on stand-still….and it looked perfect. Maybe that’s the reason I thought the ladies in pink looked awesome…lol; they did though, but not just all of them….most of them actually didn’t make it.

Everyone is seated in the hall waiting for that “grand” entrance that’s the new tradition at wedding receptions these days, where the groom’s men and bride’s maids dance-in dramatically then the bride and groom do their “thang”. So all the other paired up groom’s men and bride’s maids had done their dance and taken positions….then along came the last pair dancing in; I just didn’t get if it was her chosen dance-steps, her legs or the music….for a moment there I was confused. The dance was over and they all went about trying to get souvenirs and cakes around to guests, moving from one table to another…..there! I spotted her (the dancer), this babe was practically walking like she had stiff knees. The heels she had on were either not hers, too tight or maybe she’s not just used to heels. They just weren’t working for her, as if it wasn’t enough that she had to walk with stiff knees, it happened! One of her heels took a bow….she fell, unbelievably to the floor….flat!

It could have happened to anyone, I felt bad for her, I judged myself for the thoughts I had about her…stiff knees and all. It could have been me, afterall I was probably the only person who had mocking thoughts of her shoes and how she walked…..and I remembered “KARMA”, she could just get to me right there. So while everyone was concentrating on the fallen fuchsia, I quickly checked my shoes and applied some emergency glue I carry around….you can’t be too careful with these shoes you know!
