Stillettos Pumps in the Club! Why?

Let me first start by saying, I HAD A GREAT TIME LAST NIGHT!!!! Started and ended the night with the usual. If you know me, you know where that is :-). Went out with my beautiful cousin to Signature Lounge and had a blast. There was a drummer playing with the DJ. Apparently this is not a new concept but I've never seen it. It was awesome. You know we African people love rhythm! I really had so much fun...But my damn feet!!!! My feet were crying for real. I had on a cute outfit if I do say so myself. And I was wearing these Baby Phat pumps I got as a steal from Macy's some months back. They are BAD! But where did this whole high heeled shoe concept come from? Why do we as women feel it's even necessary? The ish is extremely painful. I don't wear heel that often for that reason. But sometimes you just don't seemed dressed up enough if you don't have them on. I use to wear heels all the time in high school. I had a problem being short so I use to want to appear taller. Whatever! Now that I'm confident in who I am, I don't feel the need to put myself through that. But those shoes I wore last night are so cute. But why?? I see women out all the time walking like their feet hurt. Or if they have been doing it for years they can be in as much pain as I was in and walk around like it's nothing.
Ladies, it's so unhealthy...bad for your back, knees, feet and I'm sure other parts of your body. Why do we do it to ourselves? Why is having your heels 2 to 3 inches from the ground sexy? My feet are still freaking hurting. I say this but guess what... I have a pair I gotta wear tonight. They match my dress so well :-) I'm keeping some flats in my purse though.
Come see me at LIBRA!!!! I'll be fly and probably sitting down :-)
