I had pink platforms Jill! I wore them to the Gateway club in Chester, Russ Abbott and the Black Abbotts were on, and friend and I were upstairs in the gallery ...I fell down a step, got up and fell down again lol, everyone thought I was drunk, but the shoe had broken the first time... I went home with my ankle twice it's normal size...happy days lol.
