High Heel Race

[sensei]

Hi Everybody,
As you can see in the subject heading, it was the most interesting news I had ever seen.

This morning, I got home from my 3 miles run and sat on the living room floor to do some post-stretching. I casually flipped on the TV to watch some news since I don't watch much TV these days.

When the news heading displayed the words "High Heel Race", it obviously caught my attention and I had this baffled look on my face. My eyes were fixated on the many beautiful women that were wearing high heels and they all were wearing race numbers on their clothes or dresses. None of them were wearing athletic shorts or t-shirts. They were really racing in their high heel shoes and clothes. Then I noticed the advertisements and banners in Russian language!

Apparently, whoever wins the race with the fastest time will receive a shopping voucher. The High Heel Race had been held in various cities of Russia. And I imagine there probably will be a few more races left in other parts of the cities. Not sure though.

Below are some news I found that will pique your curiosity. Have fun!

Another interersting item I didn't hear about until after it happened...

... Does NO ONE understand the concept of 'promotion' in this country?

I think no one can navigate a pair of high heels like a RW, and look so good doing it!
