Hi, gang. It's been a long time. (Ref. messages < 1000). Just thought I'd toss this one in: I used to dress for the men in my life. ALL of them abhorred makeup, fancy hairstyles, dresses, heels, etc. "Give me a REAL woman! Not Madison Ave!!" Another convert to dressing for HERSELF: I LOVE to play with light amounts of makeup; love the feel of smooth, silky skin, like the breezy feel of skirts and dresses. Also, as it turns out, I have a genetic predisposition toward a short Achilles tendon, which makes 1" - 2" heels MUCH more comfortable than flat shoes (which my SO would prefer...), so I've given up the pain of loafers and clogs for pumps and heels. I make these comments to point out that we are each subject to our own brainwashing... and it feels SOOO good when you come to terms with what's right for you.

It might be a good idea to at least do some stretching for the Achilles tendons and calf muscles. This would cut down on your chances of getting hurt if you step in a hole, or go running barefoot on the beach. Isaac Dimitrovsky "Houston on fire. Will history blame me - or the bees?"
