Okay folks. For those of you who have been ragging Stevie about her footwear choices, I want you to try something for me. Stand up. Now lift your heels up off the floor and roll your weight onto your toes. Good. Now stay that way for . . . I don't know. . . a couple of hours or so. Now, every so often, I want you to twirl around the room Stevie-style, still on your toes. Now do you understand why Stevie doesn't wear the platforms anymore? I know they look great, but they hurt like hell! And trust me, Reeboks with their rubber soles give a lot more than platform boots do and are a heck of a lot more comfortable. Being in high heels forces pressure & weight onto your knees and hips if you're in good shape and we know that Stevie has a diagnosed hip problem. Wearing the platforms would make it worse. As long as she can still drag herself on stage, I don't care if she wears her pink bunny slippers!
