Spiked Stilettos

I don't know but young women these days are enough to make a feminist roll in her grave (if she's dead).

Overheard conversations about upcoming nuptials make the Windsor Knot look like a simple garden tea party. Will and Kate may be inviting thousands including their exes but are they fighting over what colour the napkins should be?

I'm not against people having the wedding of their dreams but do they need to spend every cent they'll ever make in their life on it? Are they worried they'll look cheap?

And why do women think they need to be proposed to? In some "romantic" place like Hawaii too? Shouldn't marriage be a joint discussion?

And what is this propensity to give away your name and take your husband's? Didn't we fight for years to keep our own names? Overheard: Young woman telling IT to make sure they change her name when she weds. She won't be X anymore. (I can imagine IT's groan at this.)
But even worse overheard conversation: If he wants me to stop working, I will – I already deposit my pay in his account and he withdraws money for me when I need it. EEEK!

And while we're on the subject of going back to the 50s... those shoes young women these days are wearing are not only bad for their feet and backs, they're UGLY! Stilettos can look OK on certain occasions but those strappy ones that look like bandages should be banned.

I made a fool of myself once when I sat next to an actor who was going out with some famous shoe designer who he spoke lovingly about and I didn't have a clue who she was. Only a few months later they broke up. Maybe her stilettos were just too spiked.
