"Did any of you catch the year they made the (I think it was) Miss America pagent contestants go barefoot for the swimsuit competition? It was a fantastic moment. I loved it." I didn't see it but I wish I had! I've always wondered why, in approx 80% of the catwalk shows for swim-wear, the models are wearing high-heeled shoes. It makes them look silly. Swim-wear is designed for either the beach or the pool. Try walking on sand wearing high heels (probably not easy, never tried it 'cos a: it doesn't seem practical, b: I'm male). Or swimming wearing them, if it comes to that. (never tried that either for the same 2 reasons as above, plus c: I can't swim.) Cheers, Diolma
