Aphrodite prostitute shoes.jpgAre you saying to yourself, “Safety Aphrodite platform shoes for sex workers & prostitutes?  What the heck is she talking about?”  There is a new kid in town to protect our local sex workers & prostitutes, the prototype Aphrodite platform shoe

The shoes will have a built-in alarm system, which emits a piercing noise to scare off attackers; a GPS receiver; an LCD screen with video & scrolling print; an emergency button that relays the worker’s location & a silent alarm signal to public emergency services.  If  there problems with law enforcement, the shoes will send a signal to sex workers’ rights groups.

Wow.  And I thought my shoes were fancy.  Sadly, this is only a prototype and I can’t buy a pair in pink immediately.  Not that I walk the streets, but it seems pretty fun to have shoes with GPS and silent alarms, don’t you think?
