It started as a simple fashion video: the innocent presentation of a collection of sky-high heels. However, what was meant to be a simple, impromptu fashion show quickly turned into an aesthetic trial. Instead of praising the design of these princess-like shoes, the most malicious internet users focused on another, more physical, detail.<\/p>\n
Content creator @carolenavmusic<\/a> didn't expect such a backlash when she showed off her fairytale heels. In a video that has easily surpassed a million views, this professional singer, whose Instagram feed is a mix of audio demos and ankle-high shoe hauls, presents the highlights of her shoe collection. She then performs a display of footwork worthy of a professional runway model in the privacy of her living room. Throughout this grand fashion showcase, she always focuses on her feet. It's somewhat of an artistic direction for her, and rightly so.<\/p>\n This woman, who clearly owns more shoes than clothes to wear them with, sports platform sandals reminiscent of Bratz dolls, Renaissance-inspired designs, and even candy-pink pairs that look like they were borrowed from Barbie. This video, filmed with unabashed pride, garnered praise from style aficionados and Pinterest enthusiasts. However, it also became the target of numerous, entirely irrelevant criticisms.<\/p>\n Some internet users, clearly there to remind everyone of beauty standards, played devil's advocate. They expressed their disgust at the main character's hairy legs with nauseating emojis and disgusted adjectives. "I thought she was a man." "What's the point of those shoes if you have men's legs?" "What if we started a razor collection?" Despite years of desensitization to smooth, hairless skin, many are still surprised to see body hair on women. This natural phenomenon, common to all human beings, seems to be the ultimate crime for women, or even a faux pas. <\/p>\n\n
