Flip-Flops Bad, High Heels Good

How High Heels Might Boost Your Sex Life
High heels may improve a woman's sex life, a new study has found — but not in the way you might imagine.

The effect of heels on the male libido is well-known, but this research looked at the physical benefits of high heels for women. Dr. Maria Angela Cerruto, a urologist at the University of Verona, Italy, found that the tippy-toe posture of heels can tone a woman's abdomen and pelvic floor.
There was another story in the last couple of days about flip-flops just not being suitable in most workplaces.

Women, many of you are tending to look the same in this summer's "uniform" of jeans or other pants and flip-flops and fluorescent toenail polish. I wish you would regard this at best as a daytime uniform and change out of it into something sexier for the evening.

  1. I can not understand why any woman would want to wear flip flops to work. As a businesswoman, I want to be taken seriously, and so I dress professionally -- suit, nylons, high heels, tasteful jewelry, etc. I buy well-made heels that fit properly, and I wear them all-day, and some times all-evening long. If the heels are high quality, you should be able to wear 10 cm (4 in) ones without problem.
