Slut Appeal is the New Sex Appeal?

Clear heels dominated the Milan runway. Here's what Chris Rock had to say about clear heels in his HBO special Never Scared in 2004:

"Daddy, can we talk?" "Hey, I'm watching the game!" "I'll show you! I'll dance naked to the Mötley Crue records! ... I'm gonna change my name to Cina Buns! ... and I'm gonna wear clear heels!" When did clear heels become the new whore uniform? When did that happen? Was there a big ho convention, and all the hos got together and said: "We need something new! Something that just says nasty" ... And one girl said: "I got it! Clear heels!" "Uh, girl, you're disgusting!"


Yes, clear heels, the shoes of strippers and whores everywhere. If the clear heel is indeed the shoe of the whore, it goes well with the uber sexy pantsless look that swept the runways in New York, London, and Milan. Which in my opinion, was a direct result of pop music's current obsession, Lady Gaga.

Some say it's a natural evolution of fall's trendiest footwear — thigh-high boots — also favored by hookers everywhere. Slut appeal is the new sex appeal? Lets not get too carried away, this look goes from couture to cheap in about one second flat. Take my word for it, these will be Ga-ga-ga-gone about as fast as you can say disco stick.

Don't be silly ladies, save your hard earned money for some investment heels that can be worn for seasons to come.
