When I was young, pretty and thin I'm the first to admit that I had a ego to match anybody's ego. I was nice and it wasn't so bad that people didn't like me...I was fun and nice but I had a ridiculously large ego! I was never this shallow!

Anderson Cooper is filling in for Regis Philbin. He was reading a story, picking on the women in the article, that have cushion injections put into the balls of their feet so they can wear ridiculously high heels. KELLY RIPPA HAS THIS DONE!!!!! I would never have gone that far!

Cosmetic Foot Surgery: High Heel Injections and (gulp) Amputations. : Beauty and Fashion Tech

Good night! No way would I do that. I gave up on heels a few years ago. Its all about descent looking, comfy shoes. Its the only thing I will pay (in my opinion) a ridiculous amount of money on...good, comfy shoes. I paid retail

for 2 pair while on vacation this summer. ($80 a pr!). Best shoes EVER! You know how new leather shoes can blister your heel until they conform to your foot? I wore them during all the funeral stuff...then back to the house to cook etc....not one blister and no sore feet. But I would never get cosmetic surgery just to wear heels...thats crazy.....

I wouldn't either. And I used to wear crazy high heels...working retail! And then again in the office, but in retail...I did just fine without injections and I wore spike heels. Granted heels of "yester-year" were 3"-4" vs today's 4+" heels but geez! Now I live in tennis shoes & flip flops or sandals!

I am a flip flop girl and sad that the weather is getting cooler, as I will need to find shoes. I have odd feet, and have been told so a time or two (LOL), so heels go on very rarely as it is hard to find them to fit me.

Honest to God, other than 1 pair of boots, I don't think I've had heels on since our wedding!!!!!!!! I have one pair of casual boots that I've worn 2 times!

This story is just crazy. Why?

Reminds me of that saying: "Most women would rather be beautiful than smart because most men can see better than they can think."
