shoes

the times told the great british public today that 20 percent of women over 40 have more than 100 pairs of shoes. hm. i own exactly 18 pairs of shoes, and that includes boots, trainers, espadrilles and one pair of riding boots. a small minority of them have high heels. but then i'm not british or over 40. they have the shoes, but happy they are not. apparently women feel guilty about spending all that money on footwear. what else would they spend it on though? further education? charity? their men??? i think buying shoes is a good way of being economically active.

psychological insight of the week: *i don't think women are aggressive by nature. what makes them aggressive are shoe shops, too many shoe shops. it's these shoe shops that corrupt them, not their gender.* - imelda marcos
