Your Questions About Stilettos Nails

Sandra asks…

How do I fix indentations in a pine floor?

Pine floors, newly refinished...wore some stiletto heels, one of which was worn down and the nail head was sticking out, it created small circular indentations in the floor. There are fair number of these indentations in a few areas of the house...is there a way to fix this without completely redoing the floors?

Our pick of the answers:

If the nail has not "broken" the edge of the wood (making it a puncture and not actually a dent or depression), put a drop of water into the dent and let it sit a few minutes. Then cover with a damp rag and use your heated iron to "pull" the dent up.

Nancy asks…

When men wear stiletto heels, shouldn't the stilettos be considered masculine attire?

Fashion items have ways of eventually changing genders. It seems society just chooses the designation of attire by the whims of their ideas usurping the right of each individual to choose their own items to wear. To have a choice in what we wear from what our own desires exhort is the most fundamental right that we as individuals have. However, it has been the practice of society (a group of people) to make it their business to choose what individuals (that society has no personal knowledge about) should desire. Then, when those who voice or exhibit their opposition to society's choices, they are considered some sort of non-conformists or deviates. An example of this is the wearing of jeans or pants by women in the 1900's when society was pressuring women to continue the wearing dresses. There have been other more recent changes like men wearing earrings and other jewelry. Tattoos were once a man's sign of his masculinity and now women are sporting tattooed designs in their skin. Women are sharing the barber shops and beauty salons with men for their short or long hair and nail care. So, those who think stiletto heels are just a choice for women, don't really know the desires men also have.

Hey, I got nothing against it, but really, it's hard for your average bear to pull it off, if you know what I mean. Besides, they're not very comfortable or practical. They've only become fashionable again recently (Remember the chunky heels and platforms of the 90's?)
