    Oh, that's so so bad. I can't even believe how bad those shoes are. It's hard to believe they are for real.

    You've probably heard about the former Chinese tradition of binding womens' feet. Luckily, it's forbidden now. Strange, how fashions tend to obstruct womens' ability to walk properly, be it this custom of binding feet, or shoes that seem to originate from medieval torture chambers.

    I was wondering what would happen to the feet that go into those kind of shoes but Lulim has already brought it up.

    If you spend $750 on those shoes, then you would have to spend at least $1,750 on your outfit as well (and post a picture on here too! )

    Now, what kind of outfit would complete them?

    On a different note, I have the worst dark circles under my eyes... Any remedies?

    I love home remedies even if half the time they dont work. Been eating pickled onions for my cough recently, not sure if its working of if I'm getting over the cough, but definately interesting to try at least!

    Cucumber slices! I know it sounds really "Day at the spa" cliche, but they do work. Also, a cosmetic company called LUSH makes fresh face masks, and rubbing some of the mask under your eye really helps with dark circles as well.
    I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    Waiting for a winter to be done.
    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    Thanks for all the recommendations.

    I think my main problem is that I am perpetually sleep-deprived. :-/

    I will give teabags and cucumber slices a try (as they are readily available at home).

    Thanks once again for all the replies
