The Highest Heels Rely on Technology to Reach the Sky
The pale gold carpet in Bergdorf Goodman’s shoe salon was pockmarked with hundreds of small indentations one recent Thursday afternoon.
Christian Louboutin, the French shoe designer, was in town and about 200 of his faithful clients had come to pay homage — most of them in the designer’s skyscraper stilettos, which not only soar to more than $3,000 but have heels that top out at 160 millimeters, or a little more than 6 inches.
“I go to work in them. I go out at night in them,” said Angela Russo, 30, a Manhattan attorney who was wearing Louboutin black suede platform sandals. “I think they’re amazing, incredibly sexy and they’re comfortable. The construction is impeccable.”
Over the past decade, technical advances in materials and fabrication, combined with designers’ skills and desire to innovate, have pushed many dress shoe heels beyond the traditional 70 millimeter to 90 millimeter range in recent years.

Throughout the fall and winter of 2009, I gave myself daily shots of somatropin, the manufactured form of human growth hormone, or H.G.H., which is believed to build muscle and rev up the recovery time from injuries. Hence the drug’s allure to professional athletes. In my case, I had a torn ankle tendon that required surgery, and at 48, I began to wonder whether my post-op rebound might benefit from the supposed boost of H.G.H. juice? “It’s worth a try,” confirmed my doctor, an anti-aging specialist. “H.G.H. should also help you lose weight, and you’ll love the way it will make your skin look younger.” Did I hear that right? Weight loss and younger skin? Could H.G.H. be my double dream come true?

Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise doesn’t just showcase America’s funniest home catfights. It’s a post-feminist nightmare that preys on women’s shallowest, least-attractive qualities. And I can’t stop watching.
Even before the start of Bravo’s back-to-back episodes of the season finale of The Real Housewives of Orange County and second-season premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City, I was already transfixed, pinned at the edge of my living-room sofa as the coming attraction caused my heart to race:
The Man Who Put Me On Top, Or The Way to X-Rated Nirvana
As of January 27, 2009, I have lost my blog-ginity to www.wowowow.com , a site laying bare my first crack at web writing. What prompted my passage from blognorance to bloglightenment was nothing less than the potential of a sexual reawakening, a call to carnality from my past, more precisely from 1972, the year of the epochal publication: “The Joy of Sex: A Gourmet Guide.”
