Angelina Jolie's Deformity

OK - I have found it! I have found the "flaw" in Angelina Jolie's body. Yes, you read it here - a FLAW! It is a little thing that can only be revealed when you strip away the trappings of celebrity presentation. Now don't get me wrong. I did not go looking for a blemish on Ms. Jolie. I, like almost every other warm-blooded person on the planet, happen to think she is beyond beautiful. Even more so when just being her "casual" self. But she is not perfect. She has ... are you ready for it? ... Hammer Toes!

This is when you go - What the hell are Hammer Toes?
Well, they are a product of the very stylishness that Angelina has mastered. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons ... "A hammer toe is a deformity of the second, third or fourth toes. In this condition, the toe is bent at the middle joint, so that it resembles a hammer." High heels are the common culprit in creating hammer toes for women. And as evidenced above, Angelina has a text book case.

"If the toe is bent and held in one position long enough, the muscles tighten and cannot stretch out. A higher heel forces the foot down and squishes the toes against the shoe, increasing the pressure and the bend in the toe. Eventually, the toe muscles become unable to straighten the toe, even when there is no confining shoe." As she may look extremely lovely in her T-shirt & jeans you can notice that her toes are not as relaxed. They are stuck, bent, deformed. Not a major concern, to be sure, but a small balancing point in the cosmic scales of beauty distribution nonetheless.
