How High is Too High?

As everyone knows, I'm a huge fan of fantastic shoes. I think they not only add inches to a lady's frame, but pairing them with an awesome outfit can really make you feel fabulous, from the inside out. (I even wrote about this back in June.)

Additionally, I LOVE high, high heels. My friends will tell you: I rarely wear heels that are less than 5 inches high. I think everything I own has a 1" platform and 5" heel. (I just bought these in the blue/turquoise color.)

But, I saw these new Louboutin's on TheGloss and started thinking: how high is TOO high?

Too high for:
- Keeping balance
- Knee/ankle health
- The office
- Short guys at bars (or even average height guys!)

And then I also thought... where's the line drawn between fabulous-shoe-lover and...looking like a street-corner worker or a stripper?

I'm assuming that as fabulous-shoe-lover heel heights are increasing by the quarter inch, so will those infamous lucite platforms worn by street-corner-workers and distasteful Halloween costumers.  It's only fair.

What do you think?
