To judge or not to judge… please is that even a serious question?


Aside from mingling with my besties and drinking lavish amounts of wine, the main reason I go out to pubs and clubs is to judge. Yes, I said it- there is nothing I love more than to look a bitch up and down and critique her atrocious appearance. It is true; I get my kicks off seeing faux snakeskin boots and neon barely-covering-the-bits dresses. It never fails to entertain me how women can leave their houses in their ghastly “I think I am killing it” outfits. Every time I cross my fingers and pray that they are going to a tragic-themed event or are, please god, legitimately blind.




Living in a small town where fashion is clearly not a priority, I am always guaranteed a good laugh or worse, an eyesore that is bound to give a lady nightmares for months. Seriously, Saw has nothing on the scary atrocities I have witnessed. Give me a gory blood-soaked victim any day of the week. Well maybe not literally, but you get my drift. (FYI- crimson red is a significantly preferable hue to all you florescent-indulging divas).



Now before you dismiss me as malicious little twat, it is paramount that I paint you a horrific and truthful picture. Just last night, whilst embarking on a supposedly fabulous night, my retinas were gravely scarred as I witnessed a lass dressed in a teensy-weensy white mini teamed with a, wait for it, cropped navy singlet embellished with a glitter neckline. Although I could already pick apart the atrocities of these scandalous garments, it gets gravely worse. For one, this imbecile (look I don’t know her name- clearly she wasn’t someone I wanted to befriend) unfortunately had the figure of Britney Spears in her slightly less-than-stellar phase. And then some. So not only did I have to deal with a severely shocking outfit, I also had to view it on a body that, excuse me for sounding obnoxious, should be covered up. Not only this, (I am indeed going to town on this poor girl) she was unable to walk in her cheap, Kmart-inspired heels.

            LADIES, NOTHING IS MORE TRAGIC THAN NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK IN YOUR HEELS!!


I get it; at some point in our lives we have all worn an outfit that we are ashamed of, (I look back at the 90s and cringe) but nothing excuses a woman from not being able to walk in her shoes. It is a fashion felony that is completely unacceptable. From scuffing the floor to bent ‘I’m walking like a pray-mantis’ knees, girls all over the world are destroying the powerful, feminine image of the infamous high heel. It is pretty simple really; heel-toe, heel-toe. Not toe-heel, not I’m-walking-like-an-astronaut and definitely no wobbly knees.



As one of my girlfriends put it, 'every high heel has been created from an artist who has thought deeply about every element of that shoe- girls need to respect that artist'. Amen sister. We wouldn’t carelessly carry The Mona Lisa* tucked thoughtlessly under our arm, so why on earth would it be okay to abuse our heel art? Despicable demeanor aside, it is simply ill mannered!
*For all you art and historian maniacs; The Mona Lisa is equivalent to our Monolo Blahnik’s.



Moreover, the recent Spring Racing Season has further supported my utter repugnance on this matter. I am dying merely writing the words ‘heels in hands’ - and not the Rachel Zoe ‘’I DIE”- but rather I am going to have a heart attack due to such distress that I may, quite literally, die. So before the nausea sets in, I am summing up this contemptible carnival in one sentence- the horses wore their shoes better than the majority of the frocked up fuckwits.



In conclusion, look in a mirror before you venture out in public AND if you cannot wear your heels like a respectable woman, I will shoot you. Well, I would if I wasn’t too delicate and pretty for jail. Hence, I will only offer you this piece of advice…

Get a cute pair of flats instead (clearly not from Kmart) and do us all a goddamn favour!



Rant over.
