7in Heels? I Hope Gwyn Had Her Slippers

Apr 27 2008 Elaine C. Smith

GOOD luck to Gwyneth Paltrow and her fab shoes.

But I don't envy her the torture of a long night in her killer 7in heels - I have too many corns to prove it.

Vanity, eh? Thy name is woman.

I also don't envy her two-and-a-halfhour workout in the gym with Madonna.

Get a life girls.

Go and do a shift as a hospital cleaner. That will do plenty for your body and spirit and knacker you into the bargain.

Maybe she needed the workout so she could teeter about in those heels. I hope like the rest of us she had her slippers in her bag and whipped them out in the taxi home.

I once took my killer heels off on the bus home after working for the night in a bar.

Big mistake. I couldn't get them back on again and had to walk barefoot in the freezing cold to my flat.

All that matters is comfort - or maybe you realise that in your 40s.
