I know stripper heels from movies, books, and documentaries. I do not own any. I haven't seen a real one, and most of all, I don't "accomodate hookers" as one of the organizers thought I do.
Just because a person knows the effects of illegal drugs does not mean one is a user. You know what I mean?
I have a daughter, and I know young ladies that are of the same age as the pageant contestants, but none of them wear or own the stripper shoes because they all know what they are.
Unless, I am wrong about the term of which I am certainly not. Did you check what stripper heels looked like? And did it say in the caption "stripper heels" or exotic heels" or otherwise? Was I wrong for calling them that? No, I don't think so. I didn't make it up.
You can attack me as some people did. But still it doesn't change the fact that some girls are wearing a pair of heels that are called stripper heels, and the organizers allowed them.
Most, if not all, strippers would want to keep their job as a secret. I don't think they'd wear those shoes even in weddings.
Would you wear your sheepskin lined boots during the summer?
Would you wear your high heeled platform pumps on a mountain trek?
Would you wear rubber flip flops during winter?
A comment said, they're just shoes! Yes, that's true. I agree with the comment, but I think we should also wear shoes when and where it is appropriate.
In my opinion, if any lady wants to wear a pair of the said shoes, why not? But certainly, not in a beauty pageant, and not as young as these ladies. Again, that's an opinion.
If those kind of shoes are alright with the organizers, so be it! But, they can not control the opinion of other people. They are free to change stripper heels to pageant heels if they want to. But to the rest of the world they are still stripper heels.
Yes, some comments were so disrespectful that I had to delete them. I am not sorry that I deleted some of them.
Some comments are about the blogger (me), and they were on a personal level. The good thing is I don't go down to such level like that. I never thought of the organizers as bugaw (pimps) and the contestants as strippers. Read what I said before you call me someone who accomodates hookers.
A young 17 year old lady commented that I do not know the 21st century. Such a baby, and so stubborn with a filthy mouth. Yes, my dear! You are in the 21st century, but that does not mean you'll forget what is modest and decent! Ask your parents, your teachers or your mentors about it just in case dressing properly was never introduced to you in the 21st century . When you will be fortunate enough to understand what my point is all about, come back and reread your comments. I hope by that time you've discovered maturity too.
If a teacher makes you aware that your son or daughter misbehaved in school, would you attack the teacher, or talk to your child about his/her behavior?
Would you attack me for my opinion, or examine what was I talking about, and if indeed some changes should be made? Think about it!
To those commenting on my friend, Judy's Facebook wall, it's my opinion, why kill the messenger?
To Anne and Judy, and to those who agreed with my point and defended me, thank you.
To those that didn't, I can not force you to understand me. But still thank you for some of you respected my opinion.
To those who said that those shoes are okay for young ladies and for pageants because they're just shoes, I understand. It's your opinion, that they're just shoes.
To those who distorted what my point was, go back and live under a rock, and just stay there.
I thank you!

I know Judy from many years ago. I am very proud of how she handled the comments in her Facebook wall.
It's really good to know things. I just hope the organizers feels the same.
Don't know if this helps but in my school, shoes are so much important and scrutinized as our outfits. We are not allowed to wear running shoes in school, or flip flops in case of the lady teachers. The children are also not allowed to wear sandals without straps. So if a parent says, they are just shoes, I amswer back with a yes and say, " I mean proper shoes."
The comments in your previous post were overwhelming as so many have had their differing opinions. As we live in a world of many differences, it only takes a certain respect to each and every opinion. What I say may be right or wrong to others but it is mine, a product of my own thinking. In the case of Ms. Lili, she was just 'thinking out loud' so show her some respect people. Thank you!
Lili, kadto ra bang 17 yr old nga sigeg comment sa previous post nimo kay gwapa pero "fucking-fucking" lang ang baba. Uwaw pod kung ako ang ginikanan.
Wow daghana diayg naoffend ato na post! Didto ra pod ko nakabalo unsay tawag ato na sapatos.
Wala man koy makita na mali sa imong gipost. Dili man to disrespectful pagkasulat Tsk3
Hi Jul. Thank you. I didn't really know that those shoes are okay in the Philippines, especially to young girls.
Thank you Jonathan.
Why can't they just accept it that they overlooked the shoes? Why do they have to say that the blogger maybe accomodated hookers. That's just so low! Wala bang advisers ang mga candidates?
I think the organizers need some advise too. :D
