Aimee Mullins
Some women have difficulties walking in high heels (I’m not among them). That lady does… in prosthetic legs! She is amazing!

And you know, the fact is, nobody knew that they were prosthetic legs. They were the star of the show - these wooden boots peeking out from under this raffia dress - but in fact, they were actually legs made for me.

This is a video of an amazing person called Aimee Mullins. I found this video in an effort to build a greater understanding of prosthetics and how they are applicable specifically to double-leg amputees, in the hopes of creating a story with a double-leg amputee as its main character.
And this, is just flat out amazing and far better than any fiction I could devise.
