Graceful Walking

The other day I caught the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Rear Window" on TV. I so love old movies like this. "Rear Window" is by far my favorite Hitchcock film. The story line is easy and I totally love Jimmy Stewart's wheelchair bound act in it. When Grace Kelly joined him on screen, my flat-mate and I agreed that she walks in heels like a woman should. I just was shocked how amazing she looked when she was literally prancing in those high heels. Usually I see girls walking around the city like they have no idea they are wearing heels. The do like a clop-clop kind of walk. Hence the real reason I don't wear heels that high. If I was light on my feet and could walk that graceful, then it would make sense to wear them. But I like to walk fast and without thought to my poor ankles. Also in the movie "The Birds", watch how Tippi Hedren gets out of a car and walks with full out poshness she carries herself to the doorway. Very cool.
