This week's Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt theme is "Shoes":
These were in the "clearance" section of one of the local designer shoe outlets. Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because they're UGLY??? I'm old enough to remember when platform shoes were popular the first time around. They were just as ugly back then. Why would anyone want to bring them back??? I mean really, there are some fads and fashions that, no matter how "retro" they are, were just plain bad ideas that shouldn't be brought back - ever.
What's next??? Mall hair??? Huge, over-moussed, hairspray-hardened, shelf-like bangs that can poke your eyes out??? Shag haircuts??? The Jheri Curl??? The possibilities are endless!

Who was that, Elton John? Had some pretty wild shoes... to go along with his pretty wild outfits. His was the first concert I ever went to, chaperoned, sat so far away couldn't see a darn thing, but it was fun.
I am definitely having visions of "saturday night fever" and big hair...
I don't know what brought that on! :)
ooooOoooo! Flash from the past! ... ooops ... or are they back in style now???
heh. there should be a website titled "on clearance FOR GOOD REASON" :-)
Your post is funny, short of ranting about platforms actually. Haha! But yeah, I won't even be able to start walking on this shoes I guess.

hhmmm...don't think I'd want to be caught dead in those!! Great shot.
OOH! Takes me back to my disco days! lol.
And I cannot wait for big hair to come back!! HAHA
Let's not forget polyester leisure suits, shall we! UGH!
I agree - these shoes scream disco!
Haha ... can't say I ever owned a pair of those!!
I love platform shoes. I don't particular care for this one but yep I'm a platform lover. I own several pairs.
I would honestly break my neck in something like that. :)
Those are ugly! I can't imagine wearing them!
Like walking on a balance beam :)
Back in the '70s I wore platform shoes and I loved them. The ones in your photo are ugly though, lol. As for the shag hair cut, I think that's the same as I wear now. With long naturally curly hair it's what works bests, layers of different lengths.
Everyone is invited to my blog to see my Photo Hunters post. Hope to see you there.
