FEET WORSHIPPER

How many pairs of shoes a woman should own?

I have about 10 pairs of shoes in my shoe rack now. (excluding slippers and sport shoes). Half of them, I don’t really wear. I only wear those which are comfortable. In fact, I have a bad habit of wearing the same pair of shoes till they wear off. Then, why must I have 10 pairs of shoes if I only wear one pair at one time? Call it impulsive buying.

Most girlfriends I know own more than what I have. I think my modest 10 pairs as compared to theirs is a negligible figure. Imelda Marcos owns more than 1,000 pairs of shoes. How many shoes can she wear the entire year? If she were to wear all her shoes in a year, (it is not everyday she goes to a function), say, out of the 350 days, she would have worn an average of three pairs of shoes a day.

Does a woman genetically programmed to impulsively buy shoes? No matter how broke my best bud, WY is in any given month, she just has to buy a pair of shoes a month. Sounds like an old Guiness advertistment, “Gotta Have It.”

Does a woman stares at other’s people feet everyday to check out what they wear?

I once worked in a reputable bank where we had this Department Head whom every employee would love to hate. The female colleagues were always envious of her shoes collection. On a casual Saturday, DH wore a pair of apple green Blahnik with a purple t-shirt and jeans. Talk about bad dressing sense. When a female colleague told me that those shoes retailed at a price equivalent to our one month salary, I dismissed it as an utter stupidity. Even after watching Sex and the City, I still don’t understand what the fuss is all about. It is like “Men and their Cars”. This is “Women and their Shoes”.

History has proved to mankind that a woman’s feet are subject to the scrutiny of men. For instant, the Chinese prefer their wives feet bounded. It somewhat exudes eroticism to see a lady in bounded feet walk. Only the rich had the privilege to bind the feet of their female family members.

During the Ms USA 2004, a participant quipped, “I want to change the size of my feet. They are too big and ugly”, which was totally irrelevant to the question, “If you were given a chance to change a part of your past, what would it be?” It was a miracle she made it to the final five.

See how a woman can be so obsessive about her feet? Heck, even Sasha, at a tender age of 17 months knew how to buy expensive shoes.

My feet size is 7. Sometimes, 8 depending on the brand, make and type. I think if I lose more weight, I will be wearing a 6.

Oh, no. I think I have gotten on the band wagon to the land of females with compulsive shoes obsession disorder.
