My first encounter with stilettos was when I saw my mom trotting in them many many years ago. I would hear heavy footsteps from my bedroom, "tak, tak, tak, tak" and instantly know she has arrived from work.
And then came the fashion show. My mom used to be a ramp model when she was my age. I remember browsing through her photo albums over and over again and just admiring how beautiful my mother was. That's when I grew more curious about high heels. Whenever my mom got home, she would put her heels on the shoe rack and just when she shuts the door, I would grab these stilettos, put them on even if it was more than twice the size of my feet, and start doing my own catwalk in an imaginary fashion show that existed only in my bedroom.
Going back to my question, why is it a part of a girl's life? Maybe because it gives her the confidence on the spotlight, even if it means getting blisters all over. Maybe because it's like strawberries dipped on chocolate, they make women dipped in sex appeal. Or maybe they are a revenge outfit after a breakup.
I don't really know.
All I know is that, the man who invented stilettos,
he must be very, very good.
