Runway Model

I wish I had paid more attention to shows like Project Runway or Fashion TV.  It would have come in handy up here to have been more of a girly-girl.  Oh, I'm not talking about clothes or anything like that.  I'm talking about knowing how to walk the catwalk -- the ability to walk in a straight line by placing one foot directly in front of the other and not falling over.  I've seen it done, but if I had actually done it in heels I might now be able to do it in boots.  People coming North should have lessons in walking a straight line in a pair of big boots.  Take note any potential future Northerners.

You see, on days when it has snowed there are often tire tracks to follow.  These tracks are narrow, so to walk without sinking in the deeper snow on the sides you have to walk by crossing your thighs.  You don't look graceful but you save yourself boots full of snow.  The not so great option is to save one boot and pant bottom and do the one-foot-in, one-foot-out, hobble walk.  If the snow gods are on your side, the tracks might be from an ATV instead of a truck.  Then you can do the straddle walk -- one foot in each track.  You look like you have a full diaper but you don't get snow inside your boots.  Sometimes you get really lucky and two vehicles have gone by close to each other and you get to walk with one foot in each tire track and only a small ridge in between your feet.  That is heavenly.  Hey - don't make fun of what goes for pleasure around here.

Cheers,
Cindy (who will practice walking in heels)
