Purple Pain

Part of the Domestic Torture II Collection 2011

Oh, the things I have done to pinch, pull, prick, pierce and poke myself . . . just to be pretty. During the process, I turned several shades of purple.

What is Torture?
I hate high-heeled shoes! I especially hate how we, as women, continue to wear them despite the obvious fact that they are cleverly disguised torture devices. I think most women know what I’m referring to. You know, those high heels you bought because they match that cute outfit. Yes, the ones you can’t stand to wear for more than two hours because they hurt too much.
