I am very, very disturbed by the below photograph. Fine, it’s art (and good art, I guess, since I’m having such a strong reaction to it), but … yikes.
The above is actually part of an exhibit currently on display by artist Julie Rrap at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia. I’m no art critic but I imagine this shot in particular is intended to be a commentary on society/fashion/image perception and their effects on women. It’s thought provoking for sure (and again … rather eerie) but I know for a fact that wearing shoes with a slight heel is better for you than wearing any sort of flat shoe other than a sneaker. So, thanks but no thanks. And give me back my platforms.

Lins is kind of like a superhero. Corporate minion by day, free spirit by night, she's set to save the world one fashion misstep at a time (seriously, put down the Crocs and back away). She's previously written for myfashionlife and has an appreciation for unusual fashion juxtapositions (men's cardigans with silk dresses make her swoon).
Now, if only she could fly …
