Amantombazana, manenekazi, abafazi besixeko: Ndiyazi ukuba uyazithanda izihlangu zakho ezivulekileyo, kwaye nam ngokunjalo. Ukwabelana ngesondo- y! Ndiyayithanda yonke into ngawe: iinwele, amehlo, imilebe, amagxa, iingalo-kwaye uyazi ukuba ndiyawathanda amabele, ndingasathethi ke ngesisu, amagophe, isinqe, irump, i-bikini yaseBrazil i-wax, amathanga ebhuttery, yonke indlela ezantsi ukuya emaqatheni, kwaye oh-kulungile.
Ngaphandle kwento enye. Inye nje ingxaki encinci, into ongakhange uyiphakamise: Iinyawo zakho, iinzwane zakho, eziboniswe ngekratshi, zigalelwe iirandi ezingama-500 okanye iidola ezili-10 ngokungathi kusempondweni ukuze bonke babone kwaye bancome… Nazi ! Nanku umvuzo! Kwaye jonga umsesane wam ozwaneni!
Ewe, azintle kangako.
Usenokungazi, kodwa kwingqondo eyindoda banokuzonakalisa zonke izinto zakho ezinomtsalane. Ewe, iinyawo zakho ezinkulu, ezinamathambo, ezimhlophe-mhlophe, zineenzwane ezinkulu, ezixhonyiweyo, ezibomvu ezenziwe nguzwane-ezoyikisayo, u-E. -imile, iinzwane ezinde, ezo zitoni zingu-Alien- (ezinqabileyo!) zisasazeka kwaye zirhubuluza ngaphaya komda wesilayidi sakho esimnyama, zityibilika njengezilo zaselwandle ukuze zihluthe abamsulwa ecaleni kwendlela, okanye njengamazipho eentaka zangaphambili, zilungele usibambe ngentamo usinyuse phezulu usityhobozele ematyeni…. Manenekazi endibathandayo, sithetha uloyiko-olona loyiko-lunkwantyo ngakumbi kunesini sangasese sikaMnu Freud.
Kodwa abasetyhini kwisiXeko saseNew York babonakala ngathi abonwabanga bengayazi le nto. Kutheni enye i-98 yepesenti yabo enxibe izihlangu ezivulekileyo, bengazi (okanye bekhathalela) ukuba ziipesenti ezilishumi kuphela zeenyawo neenzwane eziveziweyo ezinomdla, ngelixa iipesenti ezingama-25 zinyamezeleka nje? Eshiya izinto ezoyikekayo ezi… zoyikisayo!
Ndithumela kuwe: Chitha imvakwemini uhamba ujikeleza umhlaba opakiweyo waseManhattan, kwaye uyakubona imikhosi yabasetyhini abaye bazikhupha iiflops zabo ngenjongo yokubonisa i-grubby, iinyawo ezimdaka ezincitshiswe ziibhaktheriya- kwaye zimbi emva kohambo losuku ujikeleze embindini wedolophu, kwisitrato esimdaka esimdaka, kwiikhabhathi zefidid, kumagumbi okuhlambela angaziwayo ... Ke ngoku jonga kwa ezi zinja zibekwe phantsi kwingca eluhlaza ethambileyo okanye esitulweni, zinikezelwa ukuba zibonwe ngabantu bonke, iinzwane ezinamagingxigingxi zijikeleza zijikeleza, zipheka elangeni, njengononkala ekhasa kum….
Yiba nenceba!
Awazi ukuba amadoda acinga ntoni xa ehlola umfazi ukusuka entloko ukuya ezinzwaneni?
Ndizibonile iinyawo ezimbi, utshilo uGolden Baker, isidanga esineminyaka engama-21 ubudala kwiYunivesithi yaseColumbia ebiseBryant Park ethatha ilanga emva kwemini. Kwaye ngamathambo. Bafumene le knob enkulu-kukhangeleka ngathi ingangubhontsi wesithandathu okanye enye into. Iinzipho ezinqabileyo. Kwaye i-veiny kwi-arch yonyawo-ayipholile.
Kufuphi, uMatt Daniels, umdlali weqonga oneminyaka engama-27, wayetshaya ipayipi kwaye edlala nePilot Pilot yakhe. Ukuqhekeka kweenzwane, utshilo. Uzwane lwaphuka kwiminyaka eyadlulayo kwaye ngoku luhlobo oluthile lwento ephambeneyo, egotyiweyo…. Uyabona kakhulu. Ngamanye amaxesha ubona iinzwane ezintle kwaye emva koko ubona uzwane olunohlobo oluthile lokukhula kokungunda, okanye iinzwane ezinengqondo yazo kwaye zize zisongelwe kwicala lenzwane enkulu okanye into ephambeneyo enje.
Ndikho konke ukuthuthuzela nayo yonke into, kodwa nxiba nje iiteki, watsho ngokungathandabuzekiyo. Gcina ngaphakathi!
Ndicinga ukuba iinzwane zipholile, utshilo uStephanie Lukas, utitshala oneminyaka eyi-25 owayesitya iyogathi. Awuboni iinzwane unyaka wonke-lixesha elilinganiselweyo-ke nokuba azintle kangako, uyazi ukuba ziya kuhamba.
Kwaye makubulelwe kuThixo: UNks Lukas wayenxibe iimeyile ezazigqume iinzwane zakhe.
Andizukuba ngumzekelo wonyawo, utshilo, esongeza ukuba xa ebona iinyawo zabasetyhini ezingathandekiyo, umane ezibuza ukuba yintoni eyenze ukuba zibe njalo.
Ngaba bangumdanisi, okanye ngaba bakhulele kwindawo ethile apho babebopha iinyawo? uthe. Ayindipheleli ngaphandle; indenza ndibenomdla ngakumbi kunayo nantoni na.
Ngaba iinyawo ezimbi azinakonakala ngokungaqhelekanga?
Ndicinga ukuba umntu othile ebeyinto engenamsebenzi, ukuba akangomntu onokufuna ukuthetha naye, utshilo.
Kodwa uthini ngemicimbi yezempilo ejikeleze izihlangu ezivulekileyo kunye neembadada kunye neeflops?
Kulungile, iyandikhathaza le nto, utshilo. Abantu abanxiba iManolo Blahnik $ 300 izihlangu ezifana nephepha, okanye nanini na xa ndibona abantu abanezo flip-flops zibhityileyo, ndicinga ukuba banesibindi okanye bazizidenge kakhulu - okanye babeka nje imfashini ngaphambi kwayo yonke enye into . Kukho iilokhwe ezikwenza ubonakale mhle kuba kukhangeleka ngathi awunazihlangu, kwaye yimbonakalo yokwenene yenyama. Kodwa kanye xa ucinga ngento eqhubekayo phaya…. Ndicinga ukuba ilahla inkanuko yayo.
Ngapha kwekona ndabona abanye abafazi abahle ngakumbi, behleka kwaye besitya iyogathi ngokunjalo, hayi inkathalo emhlabeni! Bathe ukuba bangabafundi baseyunivesithi yaseSyrause, bezivalela kwifemu yefashoni. Ndijonge ezantsi kwaye ndiqaphele ukuba iinyawo zabo ngelishwa zikhululwe kwiiflops zabo.
Ndicinga ukuba abantu basetyhini baneenyawo ezimbi, oko akuthethi ukuba kufuneka banxibe izihlangu ezisondeleyo, utshilo omnye wabo, uTanya Ngangan, iinyawo zakhe bezikhalela ibhafu yokuhlambela.
Andizange ndikhubekiswe ngumntu oneenyawo ezimbi okanye ezibonisa esidlangalaleni, utshilo umhlobo wakhe, uMelissa Lukach. Abasetyhini banokuziveza nangona befuna. Ukuba bakhetha ukufinya kwizihlangu zesayizi-5 kwaye ziyi-7, yilahleko yabo. Ndiphilela izihlangu ezivulekileyo. Ukuba bendinokuzinxiba unyaka wonke, bendiya.
Ewe! Ndizenzile izizathu ndazimela.
Kwaye wagijimela ekunene kwindoda enkulu egama linguNolan Merritt, owayesenza inkampani yakhe yeelori.
Ukuba uneenyawo ezimbi okanye iinzipho ezingena ngaphakathi-izinto zolo hlobo-andicingi ukuba kufanelekile ukuba unxibe izihlangu ezivulekileyo, utshilo. Ingcebiso yam yile, ‘Ndicela ubagqume!’ ‘Kuba uyiphazamisile yonke ipakethe. Ndiyathetha, unokuba uyintombazana entle, kodwa ukuba iinyawo zakho zitshixiwe, ke zigubungele amakhwenkwe amabi!
Kwakuyiminyaka emibini kuphela eyadlulayo ukuba ndibenje. Ngaphambi koko, bendinokuya kumnyhadala wehlobo laseHamptons ngaphandle kokugabha okwenze ukuba ndibeke umqala wam kaninzi.
Thatha, umzekelo, iqela elaphoswa e-East Hampton nge-26 kaJulayi kaMarian Wright Edelman, umongameli weNgxowa-mali yoKhuselo lwaBantwana. Yayibanjelwe kwikhaya likaJaci Reid, owayeneminyaka engama-40 ubudala, kunye nomyeni wakhe uMorris, owayengusomashishini oneminyaka engama-31 ubudala kunye ne-lobbyist eWashington, DC Iqela lalinyuselwe njengepati yeembadada engenazihlangu. Ndahamba nobukrakra, ukuthanda amehlo okubangela ukuba amadoda azivavanye ngokuchasene nokubi kakhulu.
Ndigcinile ngobulumko kwizonka zam kunye neekawusi zeargyle. Iinyawo zam zomhla zavezwa.
Wazinikela ukuba izinto ezimhlophe ezibengezelayo kubo yayiliyeza lentsumpa.
Kuya iba, nditshilo.
Ndineenyawo zikaBarney Rubble, umbhali weNew York Times u-Abby Ellin undixelele, ndisusa iimbadada zakhe nditshayela umhlaba. Awuzange ubukele i-Flintstones? Ndikulungele ngokupheleleyo imoto. Zinjalo ke iinyawo zam: mfutshane, squat, stubby. C'mon, Dino!
Inokuba ndandikhangelekile.
Zininzi ezinye izinto esinokuzikhathaza ngazo-ngoku ufuna ukuba sizikhathaze ngeenyawo zethu? uthe. Ndineengalo zikaLinda Hamilton, ke andizukukhathazeka ngeenyawo zam.
UNks Reid, umamkeli zindwendwe, wathi akukho nto ayikhathazayo ngayo. Ndineenyawo ezintle, utshilo, ephakamisa iimbadada zakhe zePrada kwaye ebonisa iinzwane zakhe ezinombala we-lilac. Uyayibona lonto? Zixinene.
Ngaba wayekhe wabona iinyawo ezimbi?
Ewe… ndiyaqhubeka nokuhamba. Ndibona iinyawo ezigabadeleyo naphi na apho ndiya khona, kodwa ukuba ungumfazi, ngekhe uhambe unganxibanga mbadada, utshilo. Andinakuze ndithi ‘Gquma iinzwane,’ kodwa iyakwenza ujonge abantu ngokwahlukileyo. Kundithatha nje kundisa kwenye indawo ekubhekiswa kuyo, ngokungathi ndicinga, 'Hmmm, yonke ipakethe ayisiyonto ilungileyo, eqinileyo. Kukho umba. '
Ngapha echibini, uMonica Schaffer, intatheli eneminyaka engama-30 ubudala, wathi unebhokhwe ekhulayo. Ngaphandle koko, wayezuze ilungelo lokuhamba engenazihlangu.
Ndinomntwana onyawo, ngokuqinisekileyo, watsho, esongeza ukuba uyazibona iinyawo ezinesifo se-bunion ejimini. Imbi. Ndibone lo mama izolo ekuseni kwigumbi lokutshixa, kwaye andinakuyeka ukujonga ezinyaweni zakhe. Babenyulu! Ndandijonge le bunion; Kwakungathi wayenokuthuthunjiswa mandulo. Ndandihlala ndicinga, ‘Ukuba uya kugqirha wamayeza, banokwenza utyando oluncinci apho balunqumleyo kwaye kuphele apho. Ukuba ziiveki ezintandathu zokuchacha, isivumelwano esikhulu sokuya kwi-Hamptons kwaye uxhome iiveki ezintandathu. 'Kodwa ke ndiye ndiqale ukucinga,' ndinayo ne-bunion, nayo, kwaye ndiqala ukuphambana malunga noku.
Ucinga ukuba ndenza ntoni xa ndisesitratweni? Uqhubeke. Ndijonge iinyawo zabantu. Andifuni nje ukubona apho bathenga khona iimbadada zabo, ndifuna ukubona ukuba iinyawo zabo zinjani. Ngaba banombala onzwane ongcono kunam? Ngaba banemithambo emikhulu? Ngaba iinzwane zabo ziyonwabisa kwaye zinde?
Andazi ukuba amadoda acinga ngolo hlobo, utshilo. Ndicinga ukuba amadoda achukumisekile zi-boobs kunye nesiphelo esingasemva kunye nomzimba oqingqwe kakuhle kuneenyawo.
Wamangaliswa kukufumanisa ukuba oku bekungenjalo. Oh hayi! Bazigweba iinyawo ngokwabo ,okanye iimbadada ezikhethiweyo? Owu, bendingayazi lonto. Khange ndicinge ukuba amadoda afike nyani-ndicinga ukuba ayama emadolweni.
Ukunxiba ilokhwe emhlophe kunye neebhutsi ezimnyama zeenkomo yayinguL. Marilyn Crawford, umphathi wePrimetime Omnimedia, inkampani ethengisa.
Amadoda ayazithanda iinyawo, utshilo. Yintoni? Naphi na apho ndiya khona, kukuthi, 'Owu Thixo wam, iinyawo zakho zintle kakhulu.' Njengaye, molo-ndinobuso.
Naye, waye wadibana neenyawo ezoyikisayo kwiindawo angazilindelanga. Utitshala wam we-Pilates namhlanje, unomzimba omhle kakhulu, omde, omhle, omncinci, ubuso obuhle, utshilo. Ndijonge ezinyaweni zakhe, bendifana, 'Owu Thixo wam, unesisindo sokuhamba engenazihlangu?' Owu Thixo wam-bekusoyikisa!
Ndazi kakuhle ukuba wayethetha ukuthini. Ndimncomile ngeebhutsi zakhe zeenkomo.
Ngorhatya olulandelayo, ndaye ndaya kwisibonelelo seZiko leWatermill, indawo yokusebenzela yaseHamptons eqhutywa ngumlawuli weqonga we-avant-garde uRobert Wilson. Kwakukho izinto ezininzi ezinqabileyo- umntu obhinqileyo ecula iingoma ezimanyumnyezi, abantu abanobugcisa abanxibe iimaski ezandenza ndacinga nge-Eyes Wide Shut….
Abo bendinokubaphatha-kodwa kwakamsinya ngokwaneleyo ndandiba nohambo olubi kakhulu, ndikhutshwe ngumbono wamakhulu, kwanamawaka ezinzwane andingqongileyo. Ndifumene i-whisky soda ndahlala phantsi nomrhwebi othengisa izindlu nomhlaba esithi ebengugqirha wenyawo ngaphambili.
Kwenzeka ukuba ndibenenkosikazi entle eneenyawo ezintle kakhulu, utshilo uRichard Steinberg, 50, umphathi weAshforth Warburg Associates. Kodwa kukho abantu basetyhini abathi ngamanye amaxesha babe neenzwane ezi-chubby ezikugqithisileyo. I-Chubby, iinyawo ezibanzi kukuncamisa ukufa.
Iinyawo zinzima, uqhubeke. Zimbi ngendalo ye-anatomy yonyawo neenzwane. Ngokwangaphakathi, azizizo izinto ezinomtsalane. Kodwa abanye abantu basetyhini baneenyawo ezintle. Ndicinga ukuba ingxaki yeyokuba abayili bezihlangu bajolise kwabasetyhini kwezi zihlangu zingakholelekiyo zivulekileyo kwaye zinomdla kakhulu. Ke ibeka abafazi kwindawo embi kakhulu, kuba abanakukhetha.
Ndigcwalise isiselo sam ndaza ndajikeleza.
Ndicinga ukuba abafazi mabazigqume iinyawo zabo esixekweni ngenxa yeentsholongwane, utshilo umfoti uJonathan Becker, othathe imifanekiso yoonontlalontle abancinci kwincwadi ethi Bright Young Things. Uthe wayecinga ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba umntu obhinqileyo obonisa iinyawo zakhe embindini wedolophu angathatha u-coli kwiJimmy Choos yakhe.
Ndineenyawo ezintle kakhulu, utshilo uBettina Zilkha. Ndiyazithanda iinyawo zam, ndiyazi. Ndicelwe ukuba ndiyimodeli yeenzwane, imodeli yonyawo.
Kukho into oyenzayo ngeenyawo zakho ngokwesondo, kunye nento oyenzayo ngeenyawo malunga nokuzilungisa, utshilo uNina Griscom, owayenomfanekiso wakhe othathwe noCalvin Klein.
Ewe, bendicinga-umyili wefashoni owaziwayo kwihlabathi endinokubuza malunga neenyawo zabasetyhini!
Umnumzana Klein wahleka wathi, Inyaniso yile, konke malunga nezesondo. Ndinento malunga nezihlangu-ndiyila izihlangu, kwaye sisini sonke. Uyindoda; awunalo nofifi. Izihlangu, konke konke ngokwesini ngokupheleleyo.
Bebonke, ‘Ndibethe uze undigwebe?’ kubuza uNkskz Griscom.
Hayi, kodwa ngokwenene awunakucinga, utshilo uMnu Klein. Ukwenza izihlangu kwabasetyhini kufana nokukrola; yeyona nto inomdla onokuthi uyenzele umfazi. Yinto enye nempahla: Ungasika iimpahla ukwenza ukuba umfazi abe ngoyena mhle. Unokwenza into efanayo ngezihlangu. Ndiyakwazi ukwenza nayiphi na inyawo yowesifazane ukuba ibonakale ishushu kwaye i-sexy, kwaye abafana baya kufa.
Emva eManhattan, ndandicinga ukuba ndiza kukhuseleka. Bendingalunganga. Eyona yoyikisayo kuneempawu zeMovie yayiliqela emva kwenkulumbuso, eyayibanjelwe kwiKlabhu yeMetropolitan. Kwakungaphezulu kweedigri ezingama-90 ngaphandle, kwaye ngaphakathi yayingumboniso owothusayo wezihlangu.
Umfazi wam uneenyawo ezintle, kuko konke endikuthethileyo, utshilo uSpike Lee. Enye into: Amadoda akufuneki anxibe iimbadada.
Kwakukho umdlali we-socialite u-Matthew Modine, enxibe i-sideburns, isuti ye-pinstripe kunye neembadada ezinje nge-Birkenstock. Bezinjani iinyawo zomfazi wakhe?
Ewe, uneenyawo zomdanisi, endicinga ukuba zintle, utshilo.
UJoni Wilkins, umfazi oneminyaka engama-37 ubudala enxibe izihlangu ezivulekile zikaGucci, wasondela wathi ngumdlali olungileyo uMnu. Wayeziva njani ngeenyawo zakhe?
Ziinyawo ezintle-zifuna i-pedicure encinci, kodwa iinyawo ezintle, utshilo.
Ngaba wayekhe wazibona iinyawo ezimanyumnyezi?
Ngokuqinisekileyo, watsho. Iinzwane zeWiggy. Iinzwane zeWiggy azihambelani ngqo. Kubi. Ungabanyanzela bangene kwiManolo, kodwa basesezinzwane ezinciphileyo. Iinzwane zeWiggy azipholi.
UMnumzana Modine wandijonga. Uxhonywe ngokwenene kule nto yeenyawo ezinzulu, utshilo. Xa wawuseyinkwenkwana, ngaba wawunaye umakhulu ekukhaba ngeenxa zonke endlwini eyayineenyawo ezimbi?
Khange ndikhathalele iziqhulo zakhe, ndiye ndaya kuthetha nomfazi wakhe uCari Modine, owayehleli ecaleni kukaMel Gibson, oyinkwenkwezi yomfanekiso.
Iinyawo ngoomazibuthe; Zenzelwe ukujongwa, UNks Modine utshilo. Kwaye abafazi babenza babenomdla ngakumbi ngokubeka i-lacquer entle kubo. Eli hlobo lasehlotyeni libaluleke ngokukhethekileyo ekuboniseni iinzwane, kuba ngoku imfashini ziimbadada ezingaqhelekanga ezinamatye anqabileyo, kwaye zinxitywe ii-anklets ezininzi, ke lixesha elihle lokubonisa iinyawo.
Ndaziva ndi-woozy.
UNks Modine uthe iinyawo zakhe zitshatyalalisiwe.
Ngokuqinisekileyo ndingazichaza iinyawo zam njengalezo zinobuntu, utshilo. Ndicinga ukuba xa uneenyawo ezimbi kwaye uzibonisa kunjalo, kubonisa into ethile kuwe, ndicinga ukuba inesibindi.
Waqala ukukhupha iinyawo zakhe phantsi kwetafile. Ndaziqinisa: i-flip-flops. Kodwa ubungakanani bayo-101¼2 iinyawo be… zilungile! Ndaye ndamxelela kanjalo.
Kukukhanya, sithandwa, utshilo.
Endleleni yokuphuma, ndaphinda ndadlula kuMnu. Ndamxelela ukuba umfazi wakhe unenyawo ezintle.
Uyindoda egulayo, watsho.
