Like I tell the peeps who wonder how I can ...Steve? Like I tell the peeps who wonder how I can ride in stilletos... if you have to wear a safety hat on a bike, you really ought to wear your safety shoes. I've been known to teach dressage to youngsters, and when I do, they're not allowed on the animal without wearing heels, at least not if they're riding with a saddle. Why? Well, if you were to slip up, and if your foot were to slide forward, say if the horse is trying to toss you, a heel will prevent your foot from sliding through the stirrup, preventing you from being dragged by the foot, alongside a distressed animal.<br /><br />A good heel might one day prevent you from slipping forward off the pedal, and banging yer ... er... nuts. <br /><br />So, I'm curious as to how a girl is supposed to dress, then. In your esteemed opinion. Ought we to wear sneakers and yoga gear to work?? Or are we supposed to dress like you men do? Enquiring minds want to know.babble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-60737772766262105632017-07-22T14:43:08.290-04:002017-07-22T14:43:08.290-04:00JC is reaching for a glass of vino.

Sandals are great, and if you have ugly toes, like mine, you can go full-dork and wear socks with them (as I, the Chief Dork, often do), but flip flops are like high heels and tattoos, merely public displays of inner weakness.Steve Barnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141738452735566462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-15360967790102813302017-07-21T23:12:22.342-04:002017-07-21T23:12:22.342-04:00Two stage race, Jesus this takes focus Two stage race, Jesus this takes focus Drockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394480972258253747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-80452424100510095272017-07-21T21:19:50.479-04:002017-07-21T21:19:50.479-04:00Well,at least everyone has flip-flopped on the iss...Well,at least everyone has flip-flopped on the issue.bad boy of the southnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-75141054315226295222017-07-21T19:10:21.379-04:002017-07-21T19:10:21.379-04:00Renovo meet best made axe, best made axe meet reno...Renovo meet best made axe, best made axe meet renovJLRBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-11958178250530105842017-07-21T17:02:48.530-04:002017-07-21T17:02:48.530-04:00Oh yeah, flip flops are dangerous.

When I lived in Lagos, Nigeria you could actually get your flip flops repaired. Several roadside stands took on this business. They would go down to the beach and collect a load of washed up flips and then using those parts and some string and glue repair your broken footwear. One problem was that the majority right footers would mostly leave good lefts in the ocean with a bunch of broken rights. Maybe need an app to match broken pairs, at least a billion dollars right there.Jojo Potatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16111873681762511825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-30646968325930588162017-07-21T15:55:20.912-04:002017-07-21T15:55:20.912-04:00Shamwow!Shamwow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-34755788284751817312017-07-21T15:44:52.144-04:002017-07-21T15:44:52.144-04:00I'd love to get Nannied by the podium girls......I'd love to get Nannied by the podium girls....
