Self Photography meets Urban Exploration
This soft spoken understated girl has seen more of the world that most and exposed herself at every stop all in the name of art. What have you done lately?

This could not be more true, or profound
I have come withing a baby's hair of smacking a "barista" over this.
Guest Blogger Grand Mademoiselle - The genius of the stiletto
Admittedly, donning a pair of towering stiletto's is a daunting endeavor, one that cannot be taken lightly by any serious, fashion-minded woman. However, despite the physical setbacks, numerous pit stops to rub one's toes included, the power that comes with stalking down the street or sauntering into a party wearing a pair of stiletto's overwhelmingly outweighs any negative side effects.
The genius of the stiletto can be found in its remarkable ability to transform even the most negligent wallflower into the glorious font of feminine wit that she was destined to become. Once perched atop the lofty height of four inches worth of sumptuous leather and searing heels, the woman within is unleashed in all her contradictory allure. The stiletto woman is at once a vixen and a mother, a power broker and an artist, sarcastic yet shy, intimidating while fearful. The wonderful dichotomies that embody womanhood are all to be encountered anew in the fierce sensuality and strength accorded to us by the stiletto.
Certainly, the stiletto causes pain and suffering, but such is the life of a woman, who manages to remain as gorgeous and powerful as ever while living through the burdens of life as a feminine creature. Having been given this tremendous gift, it is up to us to make good use of it, and a great pair of Louboutin's is the best place to start...

Stilettos
Those sexy little shoes that hurt like hell. The things we women do to look good. I have 4 pair! They are one of the most uncomfortable shoes created by man, yet they turn their heads so easily. God strike down the man who thought this (next to the under wire bra) was a great idea. Yes it look sexy, you appear taller, sleeker and slimmer, but in general, heels are killer on your feet, legs and back. For me, by the end of the night, I'm walking barefoot on the sidewalk with shoes in hand; nevermind the broken glass, and sharp rocks...They have been known to physically alter your body as well. Hold one moment, while I reach for my MD hat. There we go; nice fit.
Wearing heels can and will shorten your calf muscle. And while you're thinking that this is no big deal, think again. All you runners or potential runners out there, listen up! A shortened calf muscle can lead to all sorts of problems starting from Achilles Tendinitis to Plantar Fasciatus. Both are equally painful. Think about it, how many track runners do you see walking around the streets in heels all day? Sure you may get the occasional brave soul here or there, but most real tried & true blue athletes will stick to shoes that are comfortable and make sense. Face, it, you are not Cary Bradshaw and this isn't Sex and the City. Stick with what makes sense.
This doesn't mean that you need to go to your closet and throw out ever platinum pump and sued sling back. The point is that heels as an everyday wear will make do a wear and tear on your body. But don't worry, not all is lost. Changing it up by incorporating a different type of heel of a different height can still provide some body R&R without compromising your Euro-chic style. HINT: Ballerina flats are in!
So weather they're used as fashion, hammers, weapons, or Sparky's chew toy. Stilettos are the heel we love to hate and visa versa.
