Retrospect in Soul
09 April 2006

Was a man weak
to love, high heels
Was he insane to
adore a woman like that

She thinking she was sexy
his head in a circle to turn
Captured and pulled close to view
patent in leather or strappy and new

For why did high heels exist
this way of uncomfortable reign
Or was it that God created woman
and men were those driven insane

This topic of footwear in retrospect
even in a picture to view
An honest man, his soul kind
those high heels attracting her to him


“Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire
did, but backwards and in high heels.” - Faith Whittlesey

Ginger Rogers (Born Virginia Katherine McMath on 16 July 1911 in Independence, Missouri,
USA. On 25 April 1995, aged 83, Ginger Rogers died as a result of congestive heart failure.
She was buried in Oakwood Memorial Park in Chatsworth, California, USA.) and Fred Astaire
(Born 10 May 1899 Omaha, Nebraska, USA Fred Astaire died 22 June 1987, Los Angeles,
California, USA. of pneumonia) are quite possibly the most famous dancing duo ever paired,
and known for their fame in acting in movies (musicals). Of the ten musicals they featured
in, none were ever nominated for any Oscars (US film Academy Awards)

Winning an Academy Award is the most prestigious honour that those in the film industry
can achieve throughout their careers. Recognition by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences denotes true talent and success. Ginger Rogers won an Academy Award for
Best Actress in 1940 for her role in “Kitty Foyle” and was the highest paid actress during
the 1940s.
