I've had a couple of pairs of red shoes in my life - I *like* red shoes! But the "winkle picker, 3" stiletto" description reminded me....my DH and self were walking past ladies shoes in a shop late last week, and he commented on the "absurd" pointy toes on display there. And the "ridiculous" height of the heels. I gently pointed out that the toes were not as pointy, nor the heels as high, as on the shoes I wore to our wedding 38 years ago!
What amuses me is that each time the fashions return, the generation wearing them this time think they are the *height* of fashion and smartness, and that they've invented something new!!

Winkle picker, 3" stiletto jobs in bright red fabric. A pair of shoes to die for! I tried them on and my Achilles tendon screamed no, no!! Now, every woman I have spoken to since says, " I had a pair of red shoes....." Now my query is this, how many are there of you out there who have NEVER owned a pair of red shoes? I had a pair at 14 (plus boots which I had to dye black in the end to wear on my motorbike to school) and my father was furious when he discovered me limping around in the shoes because I couldn't bear to give them up and they were far too small! I have a photo for posterity (taken with my new digital camera - cheap from Lidl but it's not at all bad for the price) if anyone wants to drool! I wish I had legs like hers tho..... Lynne.
