One More Beauty Rant…

Since you all seemed to enjoy my last rant, here is another one. This one was pointed out to me by my husband several years ago, and, as usual, he was very right in noticing this. We call this look “The Eagle Toe,” and although it most often is seen on strippers (er…exotic dancers) wearing wayyyyyy too small shoes and wayyyyyy too tall heels, it can be spotted fairly regularly in your very own neighborhood. You know how a bird grips a branch, with its toes wrapped around it? So does a woman wearing too-small-strappy-sandals. This picture, via the Manolo, is of Queen Latifah. Doesn’t her poor foot look like it is screaming in pain? Queen does not strike me as a woman who would put herself through any fashion pain, but the proof is in the pudding.

Please don’t fall into this trap - buying shoes in a proper size that fits you benefits you not only in avoiding The Eagle Toe, but in being a heckuvalot more comfortable! Thanks to the Manolo for pointing out that even a Queen can suffer from this non-beautiful problem!
