Men who wear elevator shoes and the shoes they wear have always been a source of fascination. Simon Cowell is obviously not happy about his height (he claims to be 5’9”) and he’s been augmenting it for years. He’s quite secretive and buys expensive custom made shoes that have lifts inside and built up heels. Simon’s been wearing exactly the same style of pointy toe shoes for YEARS, and tops them off with extra long wide leg pants or jeans that cover them up. That explains why his style hasn’t changed for the last 25 years…

There’s no way that he is 5’9. 15 years ago I stood next to him to see how tall he really was. I’m 5’8 and he was shorter than me. Everybody said that he was about 2 inches shorter than me.
He’s some kind of pompous fool…no joke
The days back in Jolly Old of his mates’ unceasing torment of poor Simon about his height (they used Randy Newman’s song “Short People” to devastating effect), have resulted in years of expensive–and ongoing–therapy.*
*or so we can well imagine!
And Simon, knowing you will read these words, take comfort in remembering that though your feet never reach the floor when you are sitting down, you’re still rich, famous, and happily (if secretly) g*y.
Huh. Exactly like that billionaire Reptilian who recently dropped out of the race for the Democrat nomination for president!
It is a small world after all. 😀
Height shaming is beneath you, Janet. It’s not the first time I’ve seen this here.
“beneath you…”
Oh honey, we see what you cleverly did there–and heartily approve! 😉
Giuli, I only wish I were half as clever as you.
Oh come on Janet! Who cares if Simon Cowell wears lifts or heels or anything else. He is a very talented producer and entertaining judge.
I say, if it makes him more confident, do it! He looks great.
