"I Don't Know Who Invented High Heels, But All Women Owe Him Alot!"

This is one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous quotes. And she oughta know; she was by far the world's most legendary and infamous sex symbol EVER-even posthumous! But have you ever stopped and really pondered what the world would be like without the heel?

I have and it scares the bejeeba's out of me! Seriously folks, perish the thought...please!

• How do you dress up without a heel?
• What if you're height challenged and wanna be taller? This is a question for both women and men-yes men, (think Prince or the artist who wishes he was at least 5'8).
• How do you have a "Gentleman's Ballet," without a 6 inch Lucite stiletto?
• Do you throw on a pair of crocs for a hot date or when I...uh, I mean you, want to be a 'private dancer' for your man-NOT!
• And really, what would Sex & the City be, without Carrie's passionate shoe fetish?

There is just something really special and intangible about a heel. Heels stimulate our visual sensors; arouses deep desires in others and makes the wearer feel sexier. We strut instead of walk. We hold our heads higher, thereby sticking out our boobies and booties in the process. Heels increase one's sex appeal quotient-sending it immeasurably off the charts. As a girl that is totally boy-crazy, even I get a (non-sexual) thrill when I see a woman with her shit together, dressed to the nines (in heels of course)!

So yeah Marilyn, I totally agree with you. I only hope that I am carrying the love and vision on for whomever created the heel, I am soooo grateful...as I'm sure Prince is too!

p.s. Prince would probably be more grateful, if ya'll would go get his lastest album.
