July 30, 2007: High-heel sprint

Undertoad · 07-30-2007, 10:56 AM

It's Neatorama Collaboration Monday!

Not sure who the winner is at this heeled sprint held in St. Petersburg. According to China Daily there was a "required minimum height of 9 centimetres (3.5 inches)" which would be pretty daunting, but for a prize of "a shopping voucher worth 50,000 roubles (about $2,000)" which would be motivating. Let's see, risk a life-long ankle injury in which I hobble for life, for some quick gear.

And of course for some people this would be porn.

Be sure to visit our friends at Neatorama for more neato items all the time!

With so many taking to their heels the leader must have gotten a heel up on her competitors, and after outracing those who were on her heels she deserved to sit down and kick up her heels.

From heel to heal.

I don't think I could run in those, at all. Besides, I'm not one to wear heels like that. I'm rather tall (almost 6'). Maybe in certain situations(would I wear them), but not often.

Wah? jester's rather tall in certain situations, but not often? Oh, must be the high heels!

Ain't I a stinker?

If they are going to run in high heels, at least make it interesting.

Yeah, that's the idea - make it a kind of bride of Frankenstein thing. Sorta. Ouch.

Amazing. Nearly a whole page of posts and no one is talking about eating the IOTD.

WTF is on this menu?

I'd eat some of them out, if you know what I mean.

The steak I had the other night was as tough as leather, but...........

Now, I don't want to be a heel, but the article didn't seem to state if there were truly a sole winner.

Jester, they aren't so much giant heels, as giant toes......I think that'd get you disqualified.....y'have to have rules for this sort of thing....strict rules.....all hell could break loose, people'd be turning up on stilts....walking away with a tidy little shopping trip tucked under one arm whilst their opponents are still hobbling out the first aid tent....just thinkin it through..

jester · 07-30-2007, 05:46 PM
