her first heels
red leather pointy toes
wrapped in tissue paper
in a shoe box
looked at adoringly
every night before bed
she had waited so long
next hurdle lipstick
then maybe
an elvis presley movie
This reminds me of my first and only pair of princess heels when i was fifteen. Never wore heels after that. Am a sneakers kind of gal. Smiles.
Yes I was 15 too. ...smaller heels than in this pic....kitten heels !
Yes, they were small - mine, too.
Times have certainly changed. You've captured life in another era so well.
Rites of passage for so many young ladies.
