What’s in a name
Funny, fun coincidence. What I’ve been working on, a character’s name is Virginia. I’d not expected her to be a significant character but she grew into one.

Horse’s Hooves as Shoes
And it hit me…inspired by horses’ hooves. Here’s a hoof. Here’s the Nina Ricci shoe design which literally gives you a foot up in height. I read these shoes are “surprisingly easy to walk in”. Here’s the supposed proof in the below video where each model is one misstep from an ankle cast. I was…
