All right, a reasonably sensible question

[Doc Spock]

The other night on TV, maybe the news, not sure, there was an item showings models parading the catwalk.

Their feet crossed over markedly as they walked.They sway funny as well.

Does anybody REALLY walk this way.


Maybe a case of severe piles would cause it.

[daffy654]

If real women walked that way we would look really stupid and fall over a lot.lol

[laurence2]

Good point Doc.

Does anyone wear the ''clothes'' they parade in down the local pub, high street etc?

[Doc Spock]

I fail to see the excitement when a new range is launched.

Who buys this stuff.

Don't even mention Vivienne Westwood.

Are they really worth all that money.

If you've noticed, they have to stomp along like they're crushing grapes as well.

This unnatural walk helps to show off 'swishy' frocks............I have it on good authority.........as it accentuates the swing of the hips..........
It looks barking anyway, but especially so when the model is wearing some bizarre, ridiculous creation from an egotistical haute couture fashion house.

[Doc Spock]

It is indeed a strange world, one in which I shall never inhabit.

[shazzzz]

ear laurence 2 do you think if we stomp and swagger going, into a pub before we have a load of beer,we might walk straight coming out .and if we were walking straight would we remember. the next morning.

You are not alone in ridiculing this walk, as it was criticised in the seminal feminine advice text 'Charm Is Not Enough' which was read by young ladeez in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The walk was called 'overstepping the tightrope' and was criticised along with wearing sunglasses after dark, which was regarded as being a 'kinky cult'.
