I have been thinking all day about the clear platform heel as a signifier of strip clubs/performance. I am personally of the belief that the stripper shoe is a signifier of the sex industry and especially of performance, and to some, being a slut or whore. It was brought up, that this may not be the case. i decided to do some googling on the all knowing, all consuming interweb.
Google has spoken.
Ive attached some urban dictionary, some websites and a bunch of yummy shit that basically proves, without a doubt that clear heels mean stripper, performance and/or whore. Thank god i have them in other colors, i got a little worried there for a second.

clear platform heels are a signifier of stripper culture.
Google (and nia) has spoken. I need to do a craigslist survey next to further test the masses. The photo i have attached to this post is a picture of the exact same pair of shoes i own and have put in my video, and continue to put in my video's. This is the idea that was up for debate earlier today.
the link below is my craigslist survey. i posted it in the richmond rants and raves section in order to get a non-bias response. i want male, female, transgender, queer, black, white, asian, whatever to be able to answer this question, not just one specific group. ill post the responses as they come in.
