Thus, the Tia now has the beginning of a bunion on her right foot and she cannot decide whether it was due to the wearing of superfantastic shoes or inevitable. But the Tia feels that a young woman like the Posh, who is continually wearing the heels that are high, (did you see her throwing the ball out at Dodger Stadium wearing 4" wedgie sneakers? The Tia was shocked!) may be aggravating the situation of the bunion. Perhaps, instead of wearing the shocking and flamboyant high heeled spiked sandal to take attention away from her feet, the Posh should wear the elegant and classic and comfortable shoe to make her feet feel better. The Tia is curious about the surgery of the bunion. Does it actually work and make the feet feel better? The Tia is managing her incipient bunion by wearing comfortable yet elegant shoes.

Brand Beckham is one of the best British exports in decades!!! Everyone loves them (in a curious sense, if nothing more). Victoria Beckham has such a cool range of denim (even at an extortionate price) and her husband is just plain gorgeous (and an exceptionally talented soccer player, too). How can anyone be scathing towards them? VB was a dancer well before she became a Spice Girl, so that's probably where the bad bunions originated from. Yeah, wearing towering stilletos doesn't help her situation, but let's be fair. She's a media icon. . . constantly tailed by the paparazzi. Considering this, she has to be seen in the best clothes, the best shoes, the best everything. I can't see the media being too interested if she's wearing paint crusted sweats and a pair of old sneakers, can you? I like her, a lot. I think she's just misunderstood. She is happy in a high profile marriage (most of Hollywood should sit up & take notes) and is mother to 3 children. She manages to see her husband playing in his most important soccer matches (last week, for example, when Real Madrid won the La Liga championship) and still maintain a career of her own. Who really cares what her feet look like? Are we as a society so damn shallow that we have to find fault in everything? And let's face it, when we look in our own mirrors, what do we see? Perfection? Unlikely. Probably not anywhere near. The Beckhams are very generous folks, too. David works and puts a lot of his time into helping underprivelidged children. These people should be respected, not victimized. How many of us "normal people" can say that we donate money & TIME to charities? Just lay off, people. Oh please!

So, Noga, I guess we'll have to politely agree to differ! IMHO, the elegance or tackiness of a given dress is not dependent on the size of the body within it.

Even better, they should just stay in the house and never even get out of their burlap bathrobes. “It’s like a very fat, wrinkled woman wearing a gorgeous skimpy dress with a plunging décoleté.

I'm only 25 and I'm very active, and it was definitely affecting my quality of life having to limp around all the time. A good podiatrist will be very conservative in his or her approach to surgery. Many bunions can be relieved by preventative or therapeutic measures--so my doctor was extremely careful to be certain I wasn't just trying to make my feet prettier. He answered all my questions and was very professional. The procedure itself wasn't all that unpleasant. It was covered by my insurance--and I was even able to pay the bills while I was out of work due to my company's decent short-term disability pay. I was on crutches for several weeks. There was very little pain during my recovery as long as I stuck to sensible shoes. I definitely couldn't wear any sky-high heels for many months after--but it was certainly worth it. And my foot doesn't hurt anymore! I do have a few towering stilettos that I'll wear on special occasions, but certainly not if I have to do a lot of standing and walking. My feet will never really be beautiful, at least not in the conventional sense, but they're strong and pain-free, and that's much more attractive to me than a lifetime supply of designer shoes.

Bunions can be extremely painful and having them corrected is not akin to an optional surgery like reducing wrinkles. I know a couple of people who had this surgery because the pain is really awful.
