The iconic Converse Chuck Taylor All Star sneaker
The radio was playing and the morning news was on. I was startled to hear that Pete Maravich, the basketball player, had collapsed on a basketball court in Pasadena, just fell over and never got up. I’d seen Maravich play in New Orleans, when the Utah Jazz were the New Orleans Jazz. He was something to see – mop of brown hair, floppy socks – the holy terror of the basketball world – high flyin’ – magician of the court. The night I saw him he dribbled the ball with his head, scored a behind-the-back, no-look basket – dribbled the length of the court, threw the ball up over the glass and caught his own pass. He was fantastic. Scored something like 38 points. He could have played blind.”

Blame Foot Pain on High Heel Wearing Celebs
Once again foot problems and high heels are in the news. If you follow the issue, then you will recall that every few months, a podiatrist will make the rounds in newspapers all over the globe, complaining that injuries are on the rise due to high heels.Fair enough. However, its the part about it being the fault of celebrities in particular Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Beyonce Knowles, as well as Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen that has me seeing red.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham
It's no secret that Victoria Beckham practically lives in her high heels, but thats her business. Any ankle, leg and back problems that arise from too much heel wearing will affect her, not me, not you. As she teetered around in a pair of Antonio Berardi heel-less platform shoes and heel-less thigh high latex boots, I simply wondered if they were comfortable. I did not think that I just had to have them, and if I broke something wearing them, then its obviously Mrs. Beckham's fault.
We usually see Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen wearing high heel shoes that are bigger than they are, but there are no captions that say we have to wear what they wear.
Beyonce Knowles continuously changes up her fashion and when her recent album "I am Sasha Fierce" came out, there were many publicity shots, including this one that featured Beyonce clad in a leotard and high heeled ballet shoes. Very pretty, but they are not exactly practical for every day use. And lets not forget the Lego heels Beyonce sported that seem to be equally loved/hated by many.
Like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton is almost always wearing high heel shoes, and she has also been photographed with what looks to be bunions on her size 11 feet. Far from telling you that you need to be wearing the same shoes as her, doesn't this seem like a great ad as to why you should avoid prolonged use of high heels?
My point is this, celebrities are used to sell a lot of products, but its up to you to buy them. And no one is forcing you too. So when your limping your way into the podiatrist, remember that your not a child, and high heel wearing celebrities did not force you to wear heels until you damaged your feet.
7 Inch Heels - Extreme Balance Necessary
In Jinan, China mall visitors are free to gawk at this eye popping 20 centimeters (approx. 7.87 Inches) high heel shoes. Along with this high heel, the sole by itself is 10 centimeters tall. Although far from practical, this is one pretty, and extreme case of high heel fashion.

Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B Heels
L.A.M.B. Women's Finsbury Pump
I'm not a huge fan of Gwen Stefani's fashion but I do love a lot of outfits and shoes in her clothing line L.A.M.B. I especially love these high heel pumps. The thin heel and clunky toe, adds style to this classic shoe, but the dual buckles is what really makes it a must have for my high heel collection.

Hate mail about Divine Digital....WHAT!!!!!!
I have gotten hate mail from a couple people because I haven't posted on my blog about Divine Digital being back up. So I thought I would post to alleviate the messages as they are beyond stressing me out with all that I am dealing with personally at the moment!
For those that don't know Divine Digital was hacked on Oct 28th by a MEMBER of Divine Digital and the FBI is involved in tracking this person and getting justice for what happened....so this has been more than devistating! I have worked pretty much 7 days a week for 5 years on this site - it has and IS my life - and my ONLY source of income for my family. And we lost everything! I have spent thousands of dollars developing Divine Digital into what it was. And with the crash I have had to invest more than two thousand more to get it back up! So PLEASE know that I am working beyond extreme to get the site back and running at full capacity - and moving forward we are adding lots of extra security to ensure this never happens again.
So with that I went to work to reinstall the site from scratch. I have worked tirelessly to do so - only sleeping a couple hours each night to get it back up quickly. Our site officially went up last Friday [Nov 6th] and is currently working at about 85% - as designers are still working on reuploading all their products. But it is fully running and functional = and actually is buzzing with activity - with over 1,000 members re-registering in the first day of being back online! Yes, because of the nature of the hack and the processes we had to take to reinstall, the forums and the forum registration had to be installed from ground zero. So each person visiting Divine Digital has to re-register - go through an email confirmation process - then into a moderated que where all IP addresses are checked for complete accuracy to ensure the safe and secure environment of Divine.
So I just wanted to post on my blog because the couple people who have sent hate messages, has really upset me. And obviously upset them so much to make them write it...so I wanted to clear the air - and thank you for allowing me to express my apologies for the inconveniences this site hack has caused...and THANK the hundreds of WONDERFUL members who have personally written me to express their support for Divine Digital their Digi HOME!
Also, for those that don't know my Mother is in ICU - she had a massive heart attack, crashed and coded yesterday - so I am at the moment trying to handle many things at one time from the hospital. At the moment my family has to come first....and I know that most of you are understanding of that...and ask for prayers for my Mom Linda.
Kindly,
Royanna Fritschmann
