OverInflated Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Any more pictures? EDIT: Seriously, looking at the graph I think it is along the lines of the Pirates and global warming graph from the Pastfarians: This is the most logical and sensible post on here all week, oh and I agree with Durch, we definately need more pictures to draw a proper conclusion from this.

trompe le monde Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 My current theory is height of high heels at the moment. Lots of (mostly!) women teetering around at the moment. Come the recession it'll be back to the court shoe IMO... TLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it´s purely for research purposes into socio-economic trends Incidentally, how much did a house cost in Twiggy´s heyday?

TeddyBear Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 My current theory is height of high heels at the moment. Lots of (mostly!) women teetering around at the moment. Come the recession it'll be back to the court shoe IMO...TLM Seems to have gone the other way... Out in the West End last night I saw this new fashion for impossibly high heels all over the place. These things look like instruments of torture. It's almost as if we're entering an age of sado-masochism, suffering for the sins of the past ten years and enjoying it!

oracle Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 their is also a link between the sizes of breasts on page 3 and the state of the economy, with huge boobs appearing more during lean times ! I was thinking that. could there be such a thing as the "debauchment index",that correlates with the debasement of the currency? In the 70's we saw a fairly rapid rise in seedy soho sex-shops.Given we seem to be in a fairly similar financial environment now,it really could get offensively bad. We had the rise of casino's and lap-dancing clubs during the BOOM years,what on earth happens when the young ladies in the industry need to go the extra mile to pay their bills? The pimps already outsourced the hookers to get it cheaper,where does it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
