Yes, the model is wearing ballet heels, I'm going to try and get a better photograph of the publicity ads.

Do you want to organise it then?

The second point to be considered is that the area of devastation is over 90,000 sq miles -- or about the size of the entire British Isles. Now, just consider how large of a problem it would be to try to provide disaster relief assistance to the entire UK simultaneously -- a task that is impossible to perform no matter how well prepared you might be.

While the area of devastation may be about the same size as the Great Britain, over 60 million people live in the British Isles. This way exceeds the number of people affected in the area of devastation so perhaps the comparison of providing disaster relief assistance to the entire UK simultaneously is somewhat over-stated. However I do appreciate that the delivery of assistance across such a wide area is a huge challenge and requires centralised communication and coordination.

A lot of accidents involve others and our reactions to others. It's a case of if someone was to pull out from a side road and you had to brake suddenly would you stop quicker if you were wearing very high heels or would it make no difference. Suppose that car pulling out was actually a child running into the road, would that make your answer any different? Or suppose it was you suddenly crossing the road, would you want to be wearing very high heels and/or would you be praying that the driver of the oncoming car was wearing very high heels? The only thing I would say here is that as a pedestrian you are taking a personal risk, you are very unlikely to cause injury to anybody else by going for a walk in high heels. As a car driver, it's like alcohol, drugs, smoking, mobile phones etc... if it's going to make you less effective at controlling the vehicule don't do it. And before anybody comments I'm not trying to say that driving in very high heels is comparable to drink driving etc ...

Sorry to have to say it but sometimes you learn the hard way. Best to ask here before you order than come here after you've made a bit of a mistake. Lot's of people here to help

I'm surprised that stilletos on a guy got so much attention in Provincetown. In such a queer town, why all the commotion?

I think he said that was in Tampa Florida NOT Provincetown.

link isn't working for me either

I wonder if it is here in the UK?

Great story anyway Anita

No it's OK in the UK and in the rest of Europe AFAIK.

I watched the Candi movies and I don't think she was actually driving the car, I think it was stationary and she was just giving it a few revs. Got me thinking though, in an emergency situation where you needed to brake very quickly or take other avoiding action would you prefer to do that in heels (high) or in flatter footwear. I'm just not confident that in a difficult situation wearing, for example, ballet heels that I could cope.

Pretty much interchangeable and it depends where you come from. Some fairly chunky heels have been labelled (wrongly?) as spike or stiletto heels.
