So,
Last night I Googled "prostitutes".

Then I frantically clicked the back button like fifteen times simultaneously much like a poor 12 year old boy would in the event that his mother casually strolled in on him doing the same.
Immediately, I amended my search term to "Hooker Shoes",
which proved to be a slightly (ableit not much) better alternative for rendering the results that I sought.

The point of my inappropriate foray into the dregs of the internet was to examine the stereotypical assumption about the footwear of our street's finest walkers.
Why, when I bought my first pair of very very high heels, did more than one companion relay to me their unwelcome opinion that my footwear resembled that of a call girl?
Why do we assume that there's something that separates our Jeffrey Campbell platform booties and Alexander Wang spikey toe pumps from the feet-cladders of the "fallen women".

I don't know.
Maybe, at some point in time, there was.
Maybe, 1920s everyday women's shoes in no way resembled 1920s hooker's shoes.
Maybe ironic footwear wasn't the proverbial law of the proverbial land the way that it is now.
Today, however,
any sort of line is essentially nonexistent.
And it seems like the "hookers" of lore have had a good thing going.
ALAÏA thinks so, anyway.

Most inappropriate mention of Reading Rainbow ever?
Quite possibly.

Cheers.
Really unconventional point of view and I love it!

love the caption underneath the second photo: hooker, wang. my 2 cents here is that women in the sex industry get paid to look hot for a living so they're gonna have some super sexy footwear at their disposal. the difference is that you or i would probably pair the wangs with a slouchy sweater and boyfriend jeans whereas the hooker might go for like a crotchless body stocking. (my sincerest apologies to hookers if those are passé and crotches are back in). like anything in life, moderation is key.
