I Love Me Some High Heels….But Damn Girl!

  I think what we have here is a little problem. Five years ago I bought a pair of stilettos to take with me on a girlfriend’s trip to Las Vegas. They were strappy and sexy and the highest heels I’d ever owned. It was our first night there and of course I had to […]
