There's something a little disconcerting about Gmail, which is how they use Adsense to "target" ads to you based on keywords in your private e-mail. Stevie and I had an exchange yesterday about the Screamer of the Week that featured the word "hooker" several times. Now, to my astonishment, today the ad space around my Gmail screen features a store called Starlets and Harlots. (Follow the link because harlots is spelled wrong in the actual URL.)
The Google bot at least deduced that I was purposely writing about catalogs or sites where you could buy hooker-wear, so it could have been worse-- they could have served up ads for escort services, I suppose. Anyway, I thought I was the queen of high heels (I have a pair of 5 inch platforms I wear all the time) but this site has stuff I've never seen before: a large selection of 8 inch heels. The photo above shows one of them, but they go on for pages and pages, and all of them are more than 50% off. (They seem to be marketing them to strippers and drag queens but I just had to write about this because I've never seen anything like it; I promise to go back to writing about cute things tomorrow!)
I'm a little afraid to post this and see what this post does to the ads around my blog, but here goes nothing! Seriously, though, this site also has a good collection of rockabilly clothes, punk rock wear, and Bettie Page tee shirts, so don't write it off just because there are a few scary items on there.
