a girl's first pair of high-heeled shoes

You know what I have never had, and what I just got a craving for? A pair of really high-heeled shoes. The highest I have ever owned are standard, what, 2 1/2" pumps. There are a lot of reasons I've never had anything higher than that. (ooh! goody! a list!)

1. I don't like my feet and I suppose I never wanted to draw attention to them.
   
2. The pumps I have had have hurt plenty enough at their modest height, thankyouverymuch.
   
3. I am already dang well tall enough. I think my addiction to flats started in junior high when I already towered over all the boys by at least two inches. (this would still be... interesting ... since T is only two inches taller than me. In a four-inch heel I'd be taller than him. Interesting dynamic, maybe, in the right mood...?)
   
4. I have never been the sexy-high-heels type. I'm more the Everymom type. T gets really excited when I put on slacks and a blouse. I am not sure he could handle something that was actually, you know, sexy, especially in public. It would be interesting to try, though. ;-)
   

However. For some unknown reason, today I decided that my next pair of dress shoes will be my first pair of high heels. Maybe... red ones. Wow. Am I fifteen?
