I was walking along Druitt Street towards Town Hall, when I have noticed a young, pretty girl walking in opposite direction. She was dressed in a smart, fashionable short dress in pastel yellow. She was tall and slim. There are many gorgeous girls in Sydney, so what drew my attention to this one? Her shoes! The girl was wearing such high heels that she was visibly unsteady on them. She was using walls, barristers and anything else along the way to prevent falling.

I understand girls like fashion and shoes especially, but this was ridiculous. Druitt Street runs on an angle and this girl was risking twisting her ankle at the best or breaking a leg. The initial impression she may have received for being gorgeous and well dress quickly gave way to the uneasy feeling that she will hurt herself in these shoes. Her walk was less then elegant. It was not even a walk; it was continuous stumbling from one foot to the other and a struggle to control the wobbling..

Today was a public holiday in Victoria to celebrate the Melbourne Cup. This Melbourne event however gets national following and there has been calls to make it a public holiday nationwide.

In Sydney you can see the punters placing their bets in a massive tent at Martin Place. The queues were lengthy thus I can only assume the volume of cash was substantial too.

However, Melbourne Cup is not only about betting and a horse race. Melbourne Cup is also all about fashion. Many girls in Sydney dressed up for the occasion making the city more colourful. There were also more smiles all around.

PS: I drew a dog in a horse race.
