My love for shoes - high-heeled shoes - has been well-documented in this blog, along with their magical ability to make a girl feel like Cinderella and S&M vixen simultaneously (in a good way). So imagine my excitement this morning when fellow Producer Luke alerted me to an article in the Guardian by apparent kindred spirit Hannah Betts, wherein she not only articulates a similar lust for good shoes, but also gives me cultural references to back it up. My only moment of reservation came from the quotes from several 'feminists' who called my beloveds 'misogynistic' and 'denigrating to women'. They also likened them to corsets in the damage they do to a woman's body. Well, a) I'm not entirely against corsets (case to be made some other time), and b) they evidently don't understand how it's possible to be girly and powerful at the same time. Poor things. Might I suggest a few days in my personal picks for the season to show them the way...
