High Heels in the Movies. Yeah Baby!

Why are high heels considered the footwear of the slut?

It seems that anyone who wears even the remotely interesting footwear is considered a slut or weirdo or tramp… depending on the type of shoe.

I ask you where would life be without the high heel?

What kind of intrigue would have shadowed poor Detective Marlow as he sat there swallowing another pass of the scotch between his lips, wondering how his office got so smoky when the dame with  the fur stole and the gams up the whazoo entered through the door… in sensible, orthopedic cross-training walker shoes. You know the ones… with no heel.

What would the effect be like.

Well … first off. No sex appeal. None.

Zippo, doll-face.

There’s so much symbolism packed into each stiletto it’s hard to sort it all out. Mystery, danger, lust, un-attainability, perversion, the upper-crust, trouble, wealth, unbridled passion, of hidden parties, connections, seduction and of course sex appeal.

The scene would have been, I dare say … flat!

(Stop throwing things at me!)

However, the sensible shoe is the domain of the sexually repressed, the dull, the timid, the pragmatic, the lonely and of course, has no sex appeal.

What would the red carpet be like if all the stars wore flats. Or the glamour scenes in movies when the star walks into the crowded restaurant, and all eyes turn to her as she descends the stairs. Would the scene have the same sex appeal if she was wearing flip flops!

So if you want to become sexy and alluring overnight… start wearing high heels. Yes, people will look. That’s the idea.

Heelfully Yours
