The Red Shoes and Other Tattered Tales by Karen Elizabeth Gordon,

The Red Shoes and Other Tattered Tales by Karen Elizabeth Gordon,
The Red Shoes consists of tatters of a half-dozen tales (The Glass Shoe, The Gingerbread Variations, The Little Match Girl, Don Juan Is a Woman, and the title story, among others), sewn together into a novel by two seamstresses. "Fabric, fabrication - such is the stuff of these lost chronicles come together here", Gordon writes in her introduction. "Swinging their hatboxes, swaying their hips, chapters with torn slips wander in on high heels and blistered feet". Looking back to the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, but also casting sidelong glances at metafictional sugardaddies like Queneau, Nabokov, Cortazar, Gass, and Milorad Pavic, The Red Shoes is a Rabelaisian romp through the language of sensuality.



Of Cigarettes, High Heels and Other Interesting Things: An Introduction to Semiotics by Marcel Danesi,
Of Cigarettes, High Heels and Other Interesting Things: An Introduction to Semiotics by Marcel Danesi,
Why do humans engage in risky and/or uncomfortable behaviors, such as smoking cigarettes and wearing high heel shoes? And why do we constantly seek meaning for our existence? Author Marcello Danesi tells us the discipline to study the human quest for understanding is called semiotics. Here Danesi demonstrates semiotics via a fascinating fictional scenario.



High-heeled shoe - High-heeled shoes are shoes which raise the heel of the wearer's foot significantly higher than the toes. When both the heel and the toes are raised, as in a platform shoe, it is generally not considered to be a "high heel.

Stiletto heel - The stiletto heel can be found on some high-heeled shoes and boots. Generally speaking, this kind of heel is high and narrow, appearing as if a stiletto dagger or spike is emerging from the footwear.

High Button Shoes - High Button Shoes is a musical theater production, first staged at the New Century Theatre on Broadway on October 9, 1947. It has music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Sammy Cahn and book by George Abbott and Phil Silvers.

Platform shoe - Platform shoes are shoes, boots, or sandals with thick soles, often made of cork, plastic, rubber, or wood (wooden-soled platform shoes are technically also clogs), generally worn strictly for fashion, and/or added height. They have been worn in various cultures since ancient times.

Here Danesi demonstrates semiotics via a fascinating fictional scenario. Why do humans engage in risky and/or uncomfortable behaviors, such as smoking cigarettes and wearing high heel shoes? As the fad progressed, manufacturers like Candie's stretched the envelope of what was considered outrageous: mothers of 2003 and 2004 typically think nothing of buying their preschool-age daughters platform sandals that parents of 1973 would not have wanted their high-school-age daughters wearing, and the Walt Disney Company has licensed Mickey Mouse cutouts and "Disney Princess" images on footwear that, thirty years ago, would have been considered totally inappropriate for the sake of attracting attention. It may also be a by-product of this fad that Scandinavian clogs, which were considered rather outrageous themselves in the 1970s and 1980s, when the biggest, and most prolonged, platform shoe fad in U.S. history occurred, beginning sometime between 1987 and 1990. Looking back to the early 21st century, with a much higher threshold of what was considered too outrageous to wear, while others, like Famolare and Cherokee, introduced "comfort" platforms, designed to combine the added height without nearly the discomfort of spike heels, they seem to have been worn in various cultures since ancient times.
