GODDE§CHOCOLATE FETISH

That's like asking why do guys have to watch so many sports shows in a week? We just do. Because we can. It's our right. So on and so forth.

One reason women have so many shoes is probably similar to why there are so many to choose from. Men only have a small variety available to them and the difference is usually in color. And price, of course. Dress shoes--black or brown. Sandals--strapped in or flip flopped. Sneakers--over $100 or less than $100. Boots--work or play.

Female, on the other hand, have many different types of shoes in each category. Our dress shoes--high heel, medium heel, low heel, no heel, open toe, peep toe, closed in. Sandals--same as dress shoes, but include strapped or not. Sneakers are about the same, either expensive or not. We also have casual dress shoe, casual sneaker-type. Our boots come as thigh high, calf high, low cut and include all those characteristics for dress shoes. Not to mention, we have different colors and styles of each.

Basically, we like pretty things. We like a variety of pretty things. We like to accessorize and match pretty things together. And the manufacturers prey on that and provide us with as much as we can take.

Besides, we have just as many different types of tops, pants, skirts and dresses to accessorize with all the different types of shoes available. And lets not forget the purses and handbags to complete the ensemble.

Look, Madonna said it best.."We are living in a material world and I am a material girl." And as one of those material girls who have evolved into a material Goddess, I plan to acquire as many different types of shoes as possible.
