High Heels leads

Christy N.

Leads
Rhetorical Question.
1.         Have you ever worn high heeled shoes and regretting it latter? Most teenage girls have including me, but latter they will probably say “but I got used to them” so they continue wearing them. You see high heeled shoes everywhere from your mom’s closet to the red carpet worn by Lady Gaga and other super stars. The influence makes us want to fit in so we wear them even though they are painful.

Narrative
2.    The pain was unbearable, the soreness, the stinging- I couldn’t stand it. I had to take them off but I couldn’t. I was standing in the middle of the line I was putting weight to my left feet then to the right and I was asking myself “Why did I wear my five inch stilettos?” you must be asking is all that pain caused by shoes? Yes it is first time wearers think they will get used to it in a few minutes but they are wrong the pain actually increases until it is unbearable.

Direct address lead
3.    Do you like wearing high heels? You might want to think again. Studies show that heels can affect your health. It can cause pain, soreness and even foot deformities. you would need foot surgeries or you would have problems walking.

1. You’re in school hurrying to your next class, heels wobbling, skirt falling, when you notice a girl walking past. You do not notice her for her excruciatingly drab clothes, nor her blank expression, but for the angelic light radiating from her face. It looks suspiciously like those models you saw in Vogue last night. The skin itself was not shining, but rather, it was glowing. How is that possible? You decide to look it up that night and find that she was probably using a makeup product called Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat, a fancy and expensive highlighter. No, not a neon yellow highlighter, but a reflective foundation that is slightly lighter than your natural skin color that is applied with a brush applicator.
2. Myth: Anyone who wears foundation lighter than their natural skin color will look like a pasty-faced freak. Most uninformed people would disagree to this statement. However, you, my young reader, will become an informed person within a couple of seconds: what makes this myth a myth is the fact that there is such a thing as a highlighter! No, not for your notes, but for everything on your face you want to stand out.
3. Got a flat nose? Chubby cheeks? Is your skin a little too matt? Try a highlighter!

Skittles

1. Twist:
As Crystal Renn walks down the runway, she feels her stomach growling. She cant help but think that she shouldn't have missed out on lunch. She does everything that she can to stay skinny, but sometimes she feels like she just isn’t skinny enough. She begins to feel light headed, then it happens.................... She faints

2. Compare and Contrast:
Back in the 1960’s fashion models were glamorous and normal size, but since the 2000’s, fashion models have gotten skinnier and skinner. Fashion models now are skinnier than a tooth pick, maybe even smaller. If you were to look up “fashion models” or “skinny fashion models” in google, you would find all sorts of nasty looking models that starve themselves to look the way they do.

3. Startling statement:
    Look through any fashion magazine. You see beautiful models, but look again. Do you see it? If you look really hard, you can see the bones of some of those models. Most of all the magazines that you have ever looked at or will ever read, will have these types of models. Doesn’t this make you feel like something is wrong with you because you don't look like this? Don’t feel bad, because five to 10 million Americans have eating disorders because they want to look like this. These magazines are pushing young adults over the edge to be skinny.
