heels

i was trying to explain to megan last night about how really high heels make me feel manly. it doesn't make any sense, i realize this. high heels are, by definition, a fairly feminine thing. but for some reason, whenever i put heels on, i feel like a giant bumbling amazonian drag queen (i'm 5'9" barefoot). i know i have a pretty distorted image of myself, and it really showed last night.



despite all this, i WANT to wear high heels (specifically, the heels pictured above). of course, the biggest problem is that they hurt like a motherbitch.

but they hurt for everyone, right? that lady you see walking down the street all footloose and fancy free in giant heels is really crying excruciatingly painful tears on the inside, right? or is it just me?
