Hot on the Heels of Victoria Beckham!

No, not me personally! But the latest word in the world of science is that apparently researchers at the Manchester Metropolitan University believe the Posh one would make a perfect candidate for their latest study!

Why?

Like yours truly, Mrs Beckham is renowned for stepping out in a pair of killer heels, regardless of where she is going (and believe me when I say killer) and PhD student
Robert Csapo, along with Professor Marco Narici is conducting research into the effect that regular wear of sky-scraper heels has on the structure of the lower leg muscles.

They're so interested in fact, that they're currently looking for volunteers aged between 20 and 50 who have regularly worn heels measuring a minimum of 5cm for at least the last two years.

Well gentlemen... here I am!

Forget Victoria Beckham - I bet she doesn't walk half the distance I do in my daytime 4 inchers!

I could tell them a few things straight off too: Constant heel wearing does wonders for your calves. Mine are tight, toned and very streamlined! I can tell you something else as well; if you don't take them off at home, and you don't stretch out your calf muscles from time to time then you're in danger of them becoming tight in a not so pleasurable way.

Take my friend for instance - she walks around on tip-toes even when going barefoot because her calves feel too strained after years of wearing heels. And my nan - she wears slippers with a heel because years of high heel wearing have left her with the same problem.

Me? Well - I go to the gym, I run, and then I stretch. No complaints here.
Now... I wonder if Mr Csapo and Prof Narici would like a candidate from the West Midlands...
