when i'm in heels i'm a snail

disclaimer: i think i won't really make sense in this post

anyway, i was in heels from 7.45am to 11pm today. n my feet hurt. n i walked like a snail. the more the day progressed, the slower i walked. for a gd 2 hrs i was in grandma-stockings (shopping for presents w ting en) but i took them off when i was back in sch cos they looked so ugly. call me vain. -.-

while i was limping home in the high heels that weren't actually very high, (must be the slope of it that's abit off) i thought about why women wear heels. did some googling, and saw this on a website:

'High heels are associated with sex. Japanese courtiers had clogs of 15 to 30 cm, Chinese concubines and Turkish odalisques had high sandals possibly to prevent them from escaping from the harem, and prostitutes of Old Rome were identified by their high heels.'

hearing shehui, renny n jc talk abt their sociology classes must've gotten to me. the first heels developed in 1533, and were for both men and women, as a manifestation/showcase of their wealth and status, which also led to the term well heeled. 'Both men and women continued wearing heels as a matter of noble fashion throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. When the French Revolution drew near, in the late 1700s, the practice of wearing heels fell into decline in France due to its associations with wealth and aristocracy. ' heels then re-emerged in late 1800s, but only among women. why?! and why did high heels become associated with sex when it started off as a symbol of wealth? n today, what does it represent in society? i'm sure individuals have different reasons for wearing heels, but the society generally relates to heels as a good thing. sexy? powerful? authority?

i don't where all this rambling is leading to, but i wished i had more time to research on it, n to form my thoughts properly.

but for now anymore thinking would just lead to rubbish since my brian is only half awake. n there's no time to finish revision/assignment as it is. so this rambling will not be taken any further.
