This model is broken-there something wrong with it
Subtitle-when glitches in the Matrix look like drinking on the job.

1. She walked farther than I would in those shoes.
I'd have hit the floor shortly after the first step.

2. That wouldn't have happened
If she had only been wearing some sensible shoes.

Sad really. She has one job to do. Put on clothes and walk that way, turn, and walk back...and she couldn't even manage that...Poor thing will be working in Arby's by the end of the month. SHe could use it too. She looks a little underweight.

:evilgrin:

5. Depends
As long as all she has to do is stand behind the counter she'll be fine. I wouldn't want her carrying food to a table, if you know what I mean.

4. It isn't easy to walk in heels like that.

I remember shoes like that back the 70's. :shrug: It was a real balancing act but I didn't fall off my platforms.

6. Note to designers:
if the model (a professional "walker") has a hard time walking in shoes like that, don't send that style out for the public. Most of us will be shorter, weigh more, and will be much more awkward in those shoes.

15. OMG!
"MADRID (AFP) - Excessively skinny fashion models will be barred from a major Madrid fashion show later this month for fear they could send the wrong message to young Spanish girls, local media reported.


Organisers said they wanted to "help ensure public opinion does not associate fashion, and fashion shows in particular, with an increase in anorexia, a disease which, along with bulimia, is considered ... as a mental and behavioural problem"."

How about that?

:-) Thank you for the article; I hadn't heard about that!

10. Well, you couldn't get intimate, she'd accidentally cut you
with her collar bones.

16. LOL
Reminds me of two friends.
We kept saying they must generate sparks during sex with their hip bones knocking against each other.
