From Kurt Geiger in an email to me this morning:

'Kurt Geiger have reinterpreted their signature stiletto to bring you the most powerful heel for the season - the pencil heel.'

The thing is these 5 inch things aren't powerful at all are they. They're all about making us powerless as we struggle to stand upright in order to look 'seductive' (which is also what they are apparently)

How can we be fooled by this cr*p? It's a big con isn't it.

Well, they're probably quite powerful if you stab someone in the eye with them like the person who wrote the email perhaps.
