This is a great photo. I love the suits and the poncho. Sometimes I think men in Japan have "jobs" but they are not really expected to actually get anything done. The important part is the appearance of being a diligent worker. I remember seeing some construction workers in Japan who could have easily been replaced by sign posts (they were holding "slow" signs) and I thought, "How nice to have a government who will employ you just for the sake of employing you." And then I heard and saw some evidence that a second "Tomei Express" was being constructed. It seems like the government uses construction projects to stimulate the economy, which I don't think is a very well-thought-out plan. Japan is the most bureaucratic country! This is a great photo.

]]> Comment on Suffering For Beauty: The Beloved Curse of the High-Heeled Shoe by Lallalydia http://globetrotteri.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/suffering-for-beauty-the-beloved-curse-of-the-high-heeled-shoe/#comment-14695 Lallalydia Mon, 14 Jan 2008 07:25:40 +0000 http://globetrotteri.wordpress.com/2008/01/12/suffering-for-beauty-the-beloved-curse-of-the-high-heeled-shoe/#comment-14695 In answer to your question, some women feel the need to wear high (4" +) heels just in order to be at the same level as their average sized peers. I still remember reading an interview with Christina Ricci (who must not even come up to 5 feet) as a teen, and her mentioning that she felt she had to wear four inches just to be on the same playing field as the other ladies. The same must be true for Salma Hayek, too! Among those whom we assume to be already quite tall, fashion models, those coming in at the 5'6" or 5'7" range -already the average, if not taller for an American woman- daren't walk into a modeling agency or casting call without their heels just to compete with their leggier 5'11 or 6' job competition...And of course the "sexy" factor hells endow upon the wearer helps there too! Personally I try to strike a balance in footwear but I'll never give up my heels unless I have to.
