I also assume there were encounters with multiple women, which ups the number a little faster.

This actually HAS happened to me before. Occasionally for photoshoots I am in a public place such as a park, and I've had OTHER people with cameras begin snapping shots of me. Not just cell phone cameras, but actual other photographers or wannabes. I've had to stop shoots to inform other people that they may not use…

I also find that quickly grabbing their hand and breaking a finger gets to the point, without possibly damaging ones own hand.

Seriously, this is just MEAN.

Well, I guess that wasn't as horrifying as the last one. I almost laughed, once or twice, and actually advising people to see a counselor or a doctor is good.

Better balance as in people are less likely to turn an ankle/lose the heel from under them, but that has nothing to do with actual balance of the pelvis, spine or shoulders. That balance usually comes from there being less of a severe angle that the foot is being held at, since the platform compensates for the height…

It has nothing to really do with the height of the heel or the flexibility of the shank. It's about how you balance. When wearing a stiletto, you should have your weight evenly balanced across the entire foot, you shouldn't be pitching forward. However, because the heel is thin, the small area that your mass is…

Based on...?

Well, pitching forward isn't how you are supposed to stand or walk in stilettos, but maybe I'm just weird about that sort of thing because I work as a model and have to wear all variety of shoes? The stacked heel in particular, since you can shift your weight from front to back to front (on what is often a wooden…

Keeping your back straight and shoulders pulled up (ie not hunched forward) is. I'm not saying heels are some sort of benefit to the human body, but certain styles force better posture in the spine than others because of the mass distribution.

Oh of course, no heels are actually good for the spine, though I'm sure any high end shoe designer would love to swindle you into believing they are!

Yeah but that's like a modern 6, you know.

Yeah, I have no interest in getting my heel tips replaced multiple times per year because the concrete decided to eat them.

I'm 5'11" and usually wear flats. I love being insanely tall in heels, but simply can't do it on a day to day basis since the sidewalks of Philadelphia eat shoes and I'm liable to bust up my ankle again (old ballet injury) if I'm not careful. I'm not ashamed to carry my heels and change inside.

A platform or stacked heel allows you to slouch when you stand in it, unlike a thin heel with a single sole which requires you to balance and stand properly. Slouching generally does not compliment any body type, so while it doesn't necessarily make you look fat or heavy or whatever, the platform is not ideal for your…

I am dying to intern there! I'll be filling out my application soon, so fingers crossed! :)

The moment of truth came for me when I stumbled across old pictures from when I had a blackberry and there were some sexy (read: nude) ones of me at 18, and I literally got upset and sent them to my partner asking if I still looked like that. I am the exact same weight and measurements as I was then. Stupid. I won't…

I've come to a realization tonight that I am putting too much pressure on myself when it comes to modeling. I've never been asked to lose weight or had it insisted that I should slim down, it has nothing to do with that. But my self image is warped, badly, and it's really caused my anxiety to increase like crazy over…

Ha, my post bac classes start back up tomorrow too. Drexel will be the end of me, but I just keep chanting "Montreal, McGill!" in my head over and over again and reminding myself that I just have to make it 21 weeks.
