It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to "look good." I can't imagine the shoulder cramps one might have receieved while wearing a two foot high wig. (I flattened the wig a bit for my character in order to make him a bit more comfortable.)
Yet, sadly, this odd trend of wearing the most uncomfortable articles of clothing in order to be fashionable is not something of the mere past. We've been torturing ourselves to look good since the dawn of time, i.e. horribly uncomfortable pointy shoes with the thinnest stiletto... How can that prop up any normal-sized human body? Corsets, foot-binding, gaged earings, etc. But I suppose to some it's worth it... (Strange)
