You caught my eye with the music choice "Look back, look back..." I read the fairly unexpurgated versions of the Grimm's fairy tales when I was a little, little kid, and I will never forget that little song from Cinderella. Awful step-sisters cutting off bits of their feet to fit in the slipper because, after all, if you marry a Prince, you won't have to worry about walking again. I have wide feet and can rarely find decent shoes, and I refuse to wear uncomfortable things that make me blister, bleed and go numb. That little line from the fairy tale has run through my head so many times when I try on shoes, lol. I currently have settled on Crocs Mary Janes as my everyday shoes. Not terribly attractive, but at least I can walk comfortably, considering I haven't found that Prince to marry who will ensure that I never need to walk again (barf!). The fairy tale would be a great lesson in feminism (don't change yourself to become something you are not) if Cinderella had only told the Footman she wasn't trying on some nasty, bloody slipper. *shrugs* Where are you watching this Anime series? I'd like to get into Anime, especially Yaoi. Any good suggestions for a "History of/Best Of" kind of link?
