In Cinderella’s world, there wasn’t much to worry about when going to parties at night— except having your carriage turn into a pumpkin. Things are a little different for women these days, especially those of us living in big cities. Say hello to the Electric Cinderella, the first glass slipper with a stun gun in the heel.

The Electric Cinderella was inspired years ago by Interactive Design Institute student, Simona Brusa Pasque,  a woman who wanted to have the freedom to be sexy without fear. The heel has 100,000 volts of stun gun power that can be activated by a control on the matching necklace. The shoe is designed for one-time use, so make sure to save it just in case your date isn’t Prince Charming. — LIBBY HAYDEL
