Those Thongs, Tha Thong Thong Thongs
For: Boyswho want to be able to tell a girl by her shoes!
Yes, my headline is my own genius take on the lyrics to Sisqo’s thong song. But no, I’m not talking about the dental-floss kind, but the footwear. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the shoes they wear. Well, snigger all you like, but there is a degree of truth to this. But don’t take my word on it; read this article by Marie Claire Magazine, who got together a panel which consisted of a psychologist, a shoe ‘guru’ (not sure what being a shoe ‘guru’ entails, but it sounds important) and some random guys; all to discuss this very important topic.
This week I’m going to analyse different types of ladies footwear paraded in nightclubs around the world; and let you boys in on just what kind of girls wear them.
Thongs
When I say thongs, I don’t mean those pretty, bejeweled, sparkly things, I mean good old rubber Havi’s. A Women who wears this kind of footwear during a night out on the town is somebody who is comfortable, not just on the dance floor, but in herself. She’s the laid back kind of girl who doesn’t feel the need to impress anybody; and is just keen for a fun night out on the town (without those nasty blisters in the morning!)
Sandals
Now I’m talking about those pretty decorative thingys! These are basically sophisticated thongs. So the same basic personality traits apply to girls who wear thongs to nightclubs; but these girls are a bit more stylish. These are often girls who care about how they look but just can’t, or don’t do heels. Sensible but fashion-savy!
Stiletto’s
These girls are confident - even if they can’t walk in high heels, they’re game enough to give it a go. The heel alone tells a story: the thicker and squarer the heel, the more practical the girl. The thinner and pointier the heel (and more outrageous the colour), the more outgoing and adventurous the girl is likely to be. These girls tend to be more girly and are looking for male attention. They know exactly how their legs look in heels; and the fact that men prefer heels. Boys beware - these girls may be higher maintenance.
Ballet Flats
These girls are even more sensible than sandal girls. They are either reserved (don’t know why but this type of footwear reminds me of something a librarian would wear to a club (if librarians went clubbing!); or alternative girls (eg: vegans or artists, who like to wear those waist high skirts that puff out) These girls think that only barbie’s wear high-heels. They’re femine but shy. Definately intelligent though - how freakin sore it is when some bimbo in stilleto’s stands on your foot!
