Traffic light shoes.

Green is the universal colour for go, while red signifies stop. The most common place to find this is at a traffic light, but some have taken this process and have moulded it for their own usage..the result of this, a traffic light party.

You wear green if you are single, red if you are taken and amber if you are...... fair game?

What I want to know is why can we not take this one step further and apply the colour system into everyday life through our shoes? Every time a woman walks into a club she can expect to be harassed by drooling men at every turn. I fail to count the numerous amount of times my bum has been pinched by a stranger who seems to think that doing this is OK.
I wonder, if that same stranger knew I was taken, for example if I was were carrying a huge red sign saying taken, would he still have the balls to reach for the bum?
If we coded our lives with the same colour as we do our traffic, would this sequence still occur?

Green shoes for single i.e go and red shoes for taken i.e stop. Surely this would deter all the disgusting old men, that seriously think they have a chance with you, never mind the spotty adolescent ones. No more confusion in nightclubs or that dreaded line: "Sorry, I have a boyfriend."

Everyone would be happy, the weirdos would stay away, your bum would be "man-hand free" and lets face it,most importantly, it would be much easier to match your outfit to your shoes.

Good idea in theory, but this would severly limit your wardrobe choices! x
