Stand High

Beauty is Pain! We must wear it......

Make us feel BEAUTIFUL!! (Check) Make us feel CONFIDENT!! (Check) Most of all SEXY!! (Check)

However after a 1000 strides and a few hours of standing still. We begin to CRY like babies. Standing Strong like Soldiers as TEARS roll down our face invisibly. Our faces convey beauty while our pinky toe is screaming "where the HELL is the closest seat available cuz you are killing me right now!" Nevertheless, we stand tall among our girls who have sky high heels on with us. While we complain and the men make light of us, we keep doing our thang!! Needless to say, MEN love them....we like to show em' off!!

Do we know the pain that we are really causing ourselves for being Divas in our heels? We listen to the Veterans of High Heels speak on their 4.25 inch heels at the tender age of 25 and now wearing 2 inch or lower to every function they attend. The complaints of knees, heels, bunions, and unattractive corns. We wear them anyway with smiles on our faces, "I look GOOD!"

Let's Keep it Real, heels are beautiful! Yes, we are inspired to go higher while we watch our fav celebs wear sky scraper Louboutins. On the contrary, the burning sensation at the balls of our feet is nothing compared to aftermaths in our knees, ankles and especially our lower backs. I did a little research and found an article by our very own newspaper "The Washington Post", which I have provided at the bottom of this blog.

Oh Yes! Please check my playlist and listen to this very HOT SONG by Keri Hilson, "High Heels". She hits it right on the toes....

Please comment....what other pains do we endure as DIVAS!!!
