Time wounds all heels?
Foot races for folks in high heels are on the increase. I began noticing this, um, spike in activity a few months ago. Sometimes it’s for charity, as in this video report, sometimes it’s for prizes, and at times, as in this slideshow, it’s for guys who like to dress up like something other than guys.
This can’t be good. Are we looking at an epidemic a few years down the road, when millions of people can’t walk because they have Stiletto Sprinting Ankle Syndrome?
What’s next in this unhealthy trend? The First Annual Race for People Wearing High Heels While they Smoke Cigarettes, Carry Scissors and Eat Cinnamon Buns?

Dude on the left looks like he actually wants to “win.” And doesn’t know a thing about accessorising.
So what, who hasn’t ever heard of a drag race?
The guy on the left has green hair and is wearing a green dress.
The guy on the right has red hair and is wearing a red dress.
The guy in the middle is bald, and should really be naked.
They are triyng to do the same in my hometown. I am wondering who will show up for the race. I hope that no friend of mine will…
Cheers,
