pain is beauty- isn't it?

it has been revealed today that the famous american fashion designer Marc Jacobs uses a very classy way of keeping the shoes on his models on the runway- wig glue! of course! during the recent Louis Vuitton ss2012, it is stated that the models feet were glued into their shoes- and by the looks of this models foot, the wig glue isn't the only problem- (and i don't mean the fact that the shoes look like they're from primark. even though they do)

Ouch! Models' heels were blistered and marked with dried blood at Paris' Louis Vuitton s/s 2012 show. Here, a model's foot appears far too large for the shoe




























with battered, blistered and bruised feet squashed into a size too small shoes, no wonder the models are falling head over (very well stuck) heels;Don't want to see this again: A model went flying on the slippery runway at a Marc by Marc Jacobs show in February 2010

so maybe this is a very clear insight into the not so glamourous going-ons backstage in these catwalk shows. who knows what will come next? will the models be asked to cut off their little toes to fit into a pair of designer shoes for a two minute walk, like they did in the 1800s?
(i just googled this to find out the exact era this happened in, and someone had asked in 2009, "would you cut off your little toe to fit into some sexy shoes?"- are these people for real! i was joking!)

this got me thinking. recently, there has been a lot of press, scandal and news based around the PIP breast implants. i wonder if in 100 years time we will look back at breast implants and wonder why we ever wanted to draw attention to our breasts and enlarge them. maybe it's just a fashion for the next few decades, and bum implants will be more the norm in the future. maybe we will look back on breast implants the same way we do about the cutting off of the pinky toes?
