what's next, binding their feet???

When we started out on this journey of the feet, we weren’t really sure what we were going to find. We knew that while everyone unreasonably expects celebrity women to be perfect from head to toe, that’s unrealistic. It’s enough for us that they have style and grace, most, if not all, of the time. What we didn’t anticipate, though, was exactly whose feet didn’t seem like they had been so graceful. We love the celebrities on this list, but we are honestly wondering with all the money and resources that these women have access too, why are their feet so frawked up?!
You are being sarcastic right?
Ballerinas especially.
LOL! Sarah Jessica Parker was one of the ones who have just regular normal feet. She probably wishes her face looked as good as her feet. A beauty she is NOT!
I can see why many of those pictured would be more comfortable in open toed strappy sandals. Closed toe shoes would be painful to wear pressing against those bunions.
Pointy toed high heels are an annuity for podiatrists. They probably subsidize high fashion designers with the stipulation that all current designs feature pointy toes and stiletto heels.
Oh, and podiatrists love flip flops as well because people are always walking out of them or tripping on them and hurting themselves. Better to walk barefooted, than wear flip flops.
A woman may not be very stylish, but she will be much more comfortable on her feet if she wears low heeled shoes with plenty of room to wiggle her toes when she’s young.
I mean, how many men do you know who have bunion problems?
I wonder if Iman has osteoarthritis - those joints look awfully swollen.
Years ago I read an article which asked “When is a deformity not a deformity?” It was similar to that “Eye of the Beholder” Twilight Zone episode.
One picture showed modern toes bent inwards and compared it to a foot of a Roman soldier, who like others of his time, all wore sandals. It was straight as an arrow. Ergo, since most everybody wore shoes nowadays, that cramped deformity was now normal.
In the ‘70s, I remember going through a Williamsburg cobbler’s shop and the guy was bitching about the new “crooked” shoes then coming out. No more “straight” shoes that could be swapped when the heels wore down - and besides the new ones deformed peoples’ feet. Boy was he pist! :-)
I think we should let an expert be the judge of this. Does Dick Morris have an account on here? Is there a “shrimper” ping list? :)
In most cases this list sure has a loose definition of “pretty faces”. Sarah Jessica Parker starring as Mrs. Ed.
“You’ve come a long way, baby”. Yeah, a very long way...in the wrong direction!
what's next, binding their feet???
