Romanian women face heavy pressure to be skinny, making it a part of the community to smoke and eat. Besides, in the sense that plastic surgery is very much practiced and very available, Western ways are very much influenced. It is not unusual for women to see an instructor in heels, no matter their occupation, to dress up.
