Why Am I So Afraid of Shoes?
I was browsing at a department store the other week and came upon the shoe section with their wide array of summer designs. I stopped dead in my tracks and just gazed at all the beautiful colors and styles. I could imagine myself as a fashion model strutting around in these beautiful creations. Cork-wedge heels with straps in bright orange for my first trip down the runway, and maybe a spike-heeled, hot pink, open- toed version the next. Then I came back to reality.
All the shoes I own at the moment are black or brown. None of them have very high heels, and if they do have a heel, it's certainly not spiked! Why is that? I got to thinking about it and some of the reasons are leftover from childhood, but they still have a hold over me.
Like the fact that I have big feet. Even as a child, people said that my feet were "gunboats." I didn't know what a gunboat was, but I knew it wasn't good! My feet finally stopped growing when they reached a size 11. In the 1970s, it was hard to find stylish women's shoes in that size. So why would I buy a bright-colored shoe that was probably out of style and draw attention to my large feet?
Then there was the clumsiness issue. With big feet, you usually wind up tripping over them and falling flat on your face. Being a shy, sensitive child, this must not happen. Stiletto heels were certainly out!
Lastly, there was a question of making a fashion statement or the fact that I didn't have the confidence to pull off wearing a stylish, fashionable shoe (refer back to issues #1 and #2). The only statement I wanted to make was that I was invisible – and I think I probably succeeded at it.
But now I'm grown up and the rest of my body is in proportion to the size of my feet. I've learned how to walk decorously (for the most part), and shoe companies now cater to even size 11 feet with the latest colors and styles. Maybe one pair of totally frivolous, bold-colored, high-heeled shoes would be okay. Anyone want to go shoe shopping?

August's Forum Game: BINGO
Join us for an exciting game of August BINGO on the Scrap Girls Forum!! Pick 25 words from the list provided and send them in an email to [email protected] with a subject line that says "BINGO CARD - your Scrap Girls Forum username" by Wednesday August 1st (Midnight EDT) in order to play in the first round. The first round will begin on Thursday, August 2nd. If you miss the first round deadline, you can still play! Just send in your BINGO card at any time during the month, and you'll be eligible to begin playing when the next new round starts.
Each day (Monday through Saturday), a member of the Welcoming Committee will call five random words from the BINGO list. Match just 15 of those words to win a BINGO. You must be first to call "BINGO!" in the game thread to win that round. After a winner is called, the boards will be cleared and a new round will begin the following day.
Each winner will receive a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique! We like to see lots of winners, so please remember that each person can only win one round during the month. Have fun!
