one of the things i know from my mother, is that when you grow up poor, you do not have the choices that others have in shoes. i am sure that a lot of her foot conditions have to do with poor non-fitting shoes as a child, and then over-compensating buy wearing incredibly expensive (and just as bad on your feet) high heels. but her inward toes really reminds me of feet that get wedged in too small of shoes at a very young age.
btw-
i love you oprah. you are my hero. i strive to accept greatness into my life and use it as an example for others. AQUARIANS RULE!!!
