Platform 11

Platform 11 at Carlisle is of course totally fictitious, but one can dream!

 

Passengers cross the footbridge at Carlisle Citadel having just disembarked from the 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' from London Euston on Saturday 2nd March 2013.

 

Stilettos, like all similar high-heeled shoes, give the optical illusion of a longer, slimmer leg, a smaller foot, and overall greater height. They alter the wearer's posture and gait, flexing the calf muscles and making the bust and buttocks more prominent. Although they officially faded from the scene after the Beatle era began, their popularity continued at street level, and women stubbornly refused to give them up even after they could no longer readily find them in the mainstream shops.They are are particularly associated with the image of the femme fatale and are often considered to be a seductive item of clothing.
