Walk a Mile in Her Shoes - and for a good cause.

Hey folks, since this is the "All and Everything" board I thought I would spread the word, (and hopefully get a few of you to participate.)

"Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" is an international men's march to raise money and awareness about rape and sexual assault. Various walks are organized around the the country, with profits going to local rape crisis centers.

It really is a worthwhile cause, and you'll gain a whole new respect for women after walking a mile in heels. (Hmm? Did I forget to mention that little detail? Yes, every man walks the mile in high heels.)

So, if you see one in your area I urge to participate. (I haven't yet had a chance to walk one myself, I seem to have missed the sign-up cut off for my colleges. So I probably won't be able to sign up for a few months.)

Public service announcement over.

Neat little concept. :-)

If nothing else, look around the site, there are some.....*ahem*.....interesting photos.
Observe for example this gentleman being utterly comfortable, standing gracefully in his new heels.

(Note to self: If you ever do this, make sure you practice a bit first) :-D
