Things my Fairy Godmother Should have Warned me About...

There is a quote that I thoroughly enjoy and it goes a little something like this "Forget the Prince, I was only in it for the shoes." Shoes are fantastic, any women will tell you that. She will also tell you that no matter how much you love them, there is always that pair, or pairs in my case, that you have a love/hate relationship with. They are the shoes that have a heel so high no sane woman would wear, or a pointed front in which you need to lotion up your feet just to slip into. I refer to these as Limo shoes. Shoes that are only ment to be seen getting out of your limo and walking down a very short walkway to your destination - not ones you would like to walk a few blocks in. Gorgeous but deadly. I swear I have a lesson I'm getting to.

This weekend I went to a good friends Stagette, filled with far to much food and lots of wonderful ladies. On saturday night we went out to a few bars and I made the mistake of wearing those "Limo shoes" that I borrowed from a friend, and may have not been my size :s. After about an hour and a half of walking 5 blocks then dancing my little heart out I was barley able to walk. I made the horrible mistake of choosing vanity over longevity. Yes beauty is pain, but when you start to walk like the hunchback of notre dame then it no longer is sexy. I had to trucker back to the truck, in the pouring rain, shoes in hand, bare feet on the dirty ground just to get my flip flops I had so sillily left in the truck. This is the moment in time I wish my fairy godmother would have intervened and told me to throw my flip flops in my purse because I would be risking massive trauma to my feet.

Ladies, please learn from my mistake and take it from me. Either bring a purse you can throw a pair of flip flops in or invest in the Dr. Sholls ballet flats, which come so conveniently packaged in a small case. They are a life saver when you feel like you wanna amputate your feet because they are in so much pain.
