cover of "Codes: Sisters of Battle" from Warhammer 40,000 showing a white haired woman holding a sword in a military outfit standing with one leg raised, she's wearing boots that are pointed straight down from her ankle (not pointed curved like a high heel, but straight down) so she's standing on the tips of her toes with a high heel at the back

ad for real life 18cm fetish heels where the toes are en pointe like a ballet shoe and are supposed with spike stilettos

Getting To The Pointe

It took me a minute to realize, but she's supposed to be wearing this style of fetish shoe (ballet heels).

To WAR. She's going to WAR. In THOSE."

Nothing wrong with fetish shoes. PROBABLY not a good idea to wear them in war though, but what do I know? I don't exist in the post-apocalyptic space war universe. Maybe one needs to stand on their tippy-toes to see the entire battlefield. Maybe having hooves commands respect. Maybe the soldiers are better motivated knowing that their commanders are suffering as much as they are standing in those things.

Maybe my brain is just melting. That happens too when I stare at my inbox too long.
