Angelica’s Corner: Pretty girls in heels

Women in Japan remind me of the ladies of the 50s and 60s that I admire… not poodle skirts but the A-line dresses with a sideways hat or a fitted dress that has a matching fabric little jacket- Doris Day stuff. They’re not stuck in the 50s but they dress in their best, as opposed to dressing like you’ve got to get to the gym sometime in the day. Tall boots with heels are on everyone. They walk all around the mega subway stations- and run too if they are late for their important date. Click clack, here they come. They run with pizzazz and don’t break a sweat. And they walk the cobble stone streets in Kyoto in these tall boots with heels. I didn’t see any girls in an emergency pair of Melanie Griffith Working Girl kicks, or hear anyone complaining, but they could have been, I just don’t speak the language.
