Boy were you wrong. The platforms provide the mountain height. To these add white lipstick, silver eye shadow and dyed blonde hair. Of course not. What they DO have is height.
Platform shoes mean women are no longer looked down upon.
According to sociologist Shinji Miyadai, modern, height-enhanced women are more willing to take the lead than men. What a dull place the fashion world would be without sociologists. Platform shoes have been blamed for at least three deaths in Japan, and in Osaka they are banned for drivers. At the Chicago stock exchange, shoes taller than 5 cm are also taboo. Those affected are mainly men, who have been trying to stand out, or up, in the trading pits.
