Explain to me the damn appeal of shoes like these....


Is this suppose to be sexy? I mean, wearing these heels in public pretty much seems like I should have a sign on me that says "I'm really cheap & easy"

Explain the appeal?

:crazy:

5. Those would go perfectly with the silver Marilyn Monroe-style
disco-era dress I bought a couple of weeks ago ($40!).

I'd never be able to walk in them. But they'd go.

11. those shoes are sexy
If you wore them to work and you weren't a stripper, yes you'd be saying that you were cheap and easy. But at the right party, on a date with your partner, or even just around the house they say "I'm fun and now much taller than I was before!"

14. CFM's.
I don't think that those are meant to be worn while walking.

16. Ooh! Those would go even better.
Anyone have a winter shoe that still says, "hey, baby" that would go with my disco dress?

18. will your winter shoe have to endure snow??
One of the wonderful things about being a Texan is that I can wear strappy sandals at night year round. Sometimes the toes get chilly, but they won't get frostbite. :)

And what color is the disco dress??

19. Silver and shiny!
It's very Marilyn Monroe-esque, so I'll need to worry about heating grates.

It will have to endure shoveled walks, but I can't imagine wearing the shoes anywhere I'd need to trudge through snow.

20. I picked out one sandal and two pumps:






The first one is my favorite but obviously not made for winter

17. I think they're cute
They wouldn't have to look cheap with the right outfit. Yeah, a mini up to your butt and a halter top, it would look cheap, but try it with a floor length formal dress, and it would look fun.

21. Finally, back to something we can agree on
Those are NOT sexy. TRashy. But not sexy. I'm not sure I would "do" a guy who found those sexy. Just. Ick.
