Quiz Created on GoToQuiz


There are different kinds of shoes for different occasions and people. I love heels and among my favorites are the wedges and cone heels. 


What about you? What are your favorites among these?


Different Women Shoe Styles
Ankle Straps




An ankle strap shoe has one or multiple straps that, as the very name suggests, fasten around the ankle. Straps can include laces, ribbons and other material to wrap around the lower part of the leg.




Ballet Flats
Also known as ballerina flats, the ballet flats have been inspired from ballet shoes and have become useful for women of all shapes and sizes. A ballet flat is a flat heeled, enclosed shoe, almost like a slipper. It is easy to slip on and is available in different designs and shapes, with beads, jewels, fringes and flowers.

Kitten Heels

Kitten heels have a thin-based low heel that tapers sharply to a narrow base. The heel is usually 1.5 inches or less and is slightly set in from the back of the shoe. These shoes combine comfort with a little bit of extra height and go well with most outfits.

French Heels

French heels are shoes with a medium height, having a curved heel that is somewhat chunkier than a Kitten heel.

Mary Janes

A Mary Jane reminds you of your school days, as it is like the round-toed, low-heeled shoe that children wear to school. A distinctive feature of Mary Jane is the single or double strap that crosses the middle top of the foot. It comes in varying heights and styles.

Mules

A mule is covered in the front, just like a normal shoe and the back is open. It is easy to slip on and comes in various heights and different heel shapes.

Pumps

Pumps are low cut shoes that surround the foot without any fastenings. They are available in leather, micro fiber and other fabrics.

Peep Toes

A peep toes shoe is open at the tip of the toes, to show part of the toes, but not the whole toe line. The opening of the shoe is small and rounded or wedge shaped.

Platform Shoes

Platform shoes are thick soles that sit under the front part of the foot and are combined with wedges, chunky heels or stilettos. They are known as platform wedges, when they are combined with a wedge heel.

Sandals

Sandals are shoes with open toes and backs, with single or multiple straps for fastening. A number of sandal designs are available, depending on the type and material of straps and height of heels.

Sling-backs

Sling backs are a cross between a mule and a full shoe. They have a strap that connects the sides and back to the front of the shoe, instead of a closed back. They come in varying heights and can have open toes or a fully closed front.

Stiletto Heels

Stilettos or spiked heels refer to high heels that are pointy and thin. The slender and very feminine heels can be as high as 6 inches.

Wedge Heels

A wedge is based on the same shape as a triangular door-stop. The heel extends from the back of the shoe to right under the foot, thus running in a wedge shape from back to front. Wedges come in different heights.

Oh, there's alway a room
for another pair of shoes!!!

Of Heels, Men Wearing Heels And Other Heels Story!


I remember wearing heels as early as 11 years old. It's a black one, platform sandals, about 2.5 inches high… It kinda looks like this, but what I have has a thicker heel support. 



I also remember that no one taught me or told me to wear heels; mom is certainly not into this kind of things. Anyways, I just wore one to imitate Barbie and, of course, so that I wouldn’t step the bottom of my longer-than-my-height jeans.

I love wearing heels, even if it makes my feet tired and uncomfortable. Also, whenever I wear one, it makes me look very lady-like. Plus, the level of confidence it gives me is overwhelming… Imagine! I’m 3-inch-higher!


Some HIStory:


High heels originated in France around 1500s as male’s footwear. In the late 18th century, men’s heel shoes are designed lower with the exception of the cowboy boots.[Note: REAL cowboy boots are 2 inches high!]


Cuban Heels are also extremely popular to men for bands, rock groups and stars like The Beatles, John Travolta, etc. Only goes to show that heels are not just for us, ladies. Other artists that wear heels are Elton John, Bands such as Mötley Crüe and Sigue Sigue Sputnik and, now,  the lead singer of Tokio Hotel is wearing… wedges!

Why do Men love High Heels on Women?


There are many reasons to love heels, even if a man doesn’t have a shoe fetish. Even heels are difficult to be worn over a long period of time, women like wearing heels for it enhances attractiveness to the male specie.

Reasons:
Wearing heels highlights the feminine form.
Women’s hips sways involuntarily when wearing heels.
Women’s legs appear longer in Heels.
Heels makes a woman appear few inches taller.
Women in heels are vulnerable, being in heels makes the ladies unable to move or escape easily and quickly.

But do men really notice heels?

Researchers from  Northumbria University studied the reactions of men to women walking in heels and flats. Men were asked to observe women, between 18 and 35, walk without seeing their shoes. However, Men weren't able to distinguish between a woman walking in sensible flats and height-altering heels.

Well, it’s really up to you, Ladies. I wear heels for confidence, for additional height, for aesthetics. But, still, TRUE BEAUTY is inside. If wearing heels makes you feel beautiful and powerful, GO! Just don’t wear it for the sake of getting the attention of the opposite sex.

Waiting for Daylight


Waiting For Daylight is the fourth album of the Boyband A1 and their 1st album after Paul  Marrazi left the band.


A1 is a British/Norwegian boy band who debuted the music scene on 1999.

The band split up when Paul Marazzi left in 2002.


Why did Paul left the Band?
There’s really no clear reason why Paul left. He might have cited he left for personal reasons but maybe he wanted a band where he is the lead. Three years after the bands break up, Paul started a band called Snagsby.

Read released his debut solo single, "Greatest Lady In My Life", on 2009. On the same year, his debut solo album, Peace At Last, was release.

Christian Ingebrigtsen also began a solo career in 2003. His first solo single, “In Love With An Angel” stayed in the Top 10 of Norway Singles Chart for almost three months. Christian didn’t just ventured into music after a1, he also moved to show business.

At the Big Bro House
The Bands Lead Ben Adams went on a solo career in 2005 and made it to the 18th spot on the UK Singles Chart with his first solo single, “Sorry”.  In 2009, Ben Adams joined the UK Celebrity Big Brother where he’s one of the remaining five housemates to leave the house.



Coming Back…
In Summer of 2009, the band made an official announcement that they will play a series of concerts[without Paul in Oslo in the December of that year. At the same time, they also announced that their first new single after 7 years, “Take You Home” will be released on iTunes[Norway] on November 2.

Precious Hearts Romance: Bud Brothers

I was never a fan of ABS-CBN for a lot of reasons:
- I find their evening news boring (since Noli de Castro became senator/VP)
- Wowowee (is too money centered)
- their games shows' too corny (K.A. dressing bongga for a bingo show?)
- Afternoon shows aren't interesting at all (it would be better off sleeping)
- Their evening/prime time shows always leads out of the story flow (teleserye/novela)
- and haller?! why put a showbiz news program every "single" day...?

But since Precious Heart Romance:Bud Brothers Series started on the air, I found myself watching this show on ABS-CBN.


Day-by-day this show is top rating my heart, I just found myself wanting and waiting for episodes.

I was never a fan of its original 'pocket book'. But as I watch more episodes, I'm starting to be interested reading its original, in letters.
Right now, I'm not able to watch this show every afternoon for I'm still in the office on its airtime. What I do now is just watch its recorded episodes on YouTube.

I'm loving every episode of it. I also would like to thank http://www.youtube.com/user/itzmepw for recording this every single day. After work, I always check on
itzmepw channel to see whatever I missed from ABS-CBN.

The good thing about this YouTube channel is that it offers download links, that gives you a chance to get your own copy. So even if this YouTube channel breaks down or you forgot the link and if ever you feel the need to watch back and reminisce its episode, you can do it freely on your own.

BTW, my personal favorite team up in the series is Betchay and Wayne. Their tandem is super kilig and lovable. Plus, Mariel and Rafael are my favorite artistas as well.
