#sorry this is really obscure but i promise its funny#btw chopines are like. really tall corksoled platformed overshoes from venice & spain in the 15-17th centuries#and the height of them was like. obliquely and not-so-obliquely a reference to social status#b/c the higher your shoes the more you towered above people AND the more fabric in a Long Dress you could afford
