Shadduppa your feet

This morning it was nice and sunny, so I decided to conduct my production meeting outside on the balcony today. My production meeting usually involves me, my coffee, and a notepad where I draw doodles of myself rolling in money.

But the pleasant early morning silence was broken by a loud clip-clop sound, like a horse, which is fairly unusual in my urban neighbourhood. I stood up for a closer look, hoping to catch some handsome mounted police officers, or maybe a surprise Tuesday morning rodeo, or perhaps some fool banging coconuts together.

The noise got louder and louder and then I spotted her: a young woman in 3-inch stilettos, navigating her way to work on the street below. She was about 60 feet away from my building and I'm 6 floors up, but her footsteps could be heard all over the neighbourhood. It could've been a case of strange acoustics or just some truly obnoxious shoes, but she was certainly not light on her feet. She was trying to do that supermodel walk thing - sort of like a marching chicken - the knees go way up and one foot is placed directly in front of the other. Looks alright when Naomi does it on a runway, but it's quite a racket when performed by an office chick who can't walk in heels. I could still hear her shoes long after she had disappeared from my line of sight. She would make a terrible ninja.

I really don't know where I was going with this. But I made this cool graphic, so I guess my production meeting was more productive than usual.

Girl who can't walk in heels: 0, Rocketstudio: 1

Why do women wear high heels?

I just don't get it.

"High Heel Ninja"...a new super hero. I can picture this "hen" strutting along the sidewalk. She thinks she's all that. Someone with coconuts would have been funnier.

I wish I was talented enough to draw pictures of myself rolling in money...

Scary! I don't do heels. They're straight from Satan. I don't get why anyone would want to perch on stilts all day when they could be comfortable. I used to like when people got their stiletto stuck in the grooves on the floor of the subway though. Good times.

Wait, is that really a the Rorschach test? I cocked my head to the right & swear I saw an old Indian-type guy with a forked tongue.

Rule #63: If you can't walk gracefully in them, don't walk in them.

was it really hot? Maybe her heels were sticking in hot tar or something...

People are weird.

You had me at "my production meeting usually involves me, my coffee, and a notepad where I draw doodles of myself rolling in money."

You crack me the hell up, bitch.

I wish I had the skills to create amusing graphics of people who wrong me (no matter how indirectly). I tell you what, Kat: If I win the lottery or get a better job, I'll hire RocketStudios for this very purpose.

Sounds like she was well-heeled...

And you thought the Amish were attacking, didn't you?

I don't even bother to look unless they are 4-inch heels or more.
