“Is it hard to walk in 15 cm high heels? How about dancing?
These were the first high-heeled shoes I ever bought. When I tried them on in the shop, a crowd gathered around me, watching as I took each step. They didn’t understand what was going on—and I didn’t mind. In a way, it felt like a victory over my shyness.
The only thing I recall clearly is the salesperson’s compliment: “You wear them better than any woman I’ve seen!”
These shoes were the first pair I used when I started performing in a gay club as a go-go dancer. Later I was wearing them when performing in a cover band with two girls, by then I was not only dancing in gay clubs. People were looking at me without estrangement, but with admiration. At me, on stage, under the spotlights. My dancing career started with these shoes, with these shoes it also ended.”
