Clear heels, Lucite heels, sometimes referred to as stripper shoes, are high-heeled footwear made from a transparent material. They may be used to contain novelty items such as flashing lights, liquids or even fish. The materials which may be used for these include polycarbonate, PVC, Lucite and acrylic resin. Alternatively the transparency may be used deceptively with a ballerina style to give the flattering appearance of standing on tiptoe or en pointe.

The style may be used to resemble Cinderella's glass slipper when worn at a formal ball such as a prom. As high heels, the style may be overtly erotic and they are worn by pole dancers, striptease artistes and pornographic actresses. Pole dancers prefer heels of four to seven inches in height; some even prefer heels as high as eight or nine inches high.

Popular brands include Pleaser and Luscious. In 2009, New York Magazine indicated that the style was "on trend" for the Spring 2010 shows, notably in Milan at Dsquared2, Prada, and Fendi. The association with erotic performers has led to criticism of celebrities for wearing the trend. In an interview teenage actress and singer Taylor Momsen noted she liked performing in a pair that had a slot for tips, "fans started putting money in them, so now they are filled with tons of bills".

Christopher Julius "Chris" Rock III (born February 7, 1965) is an American comedian, actor, screenwriter, television producer, film producer, and director.

After working as a standup comic and appearing in small film roles, Rock came to wider prominence as as a cast member of Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s. He went on to more prominent film roles, and a series of acclaimed comedy specials for HBO.

He was voted in the US as the 5th greatest stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central. He was also voted in the UK as the 9th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups in 2007, and again in the updated 2010 list as the 8th greatest stand-up comic.

Rock was born in Andrews, South Carolina. Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. A few years later, they relocated and settled in the working-class area of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. His mother, Rosalie (née Tingman), was a teacher and social worker for the mentally handicapped; his father, Julius Rock, was a former truck driver and newspaper deliveryman. Julius died in 1988 after ulcer surgery. His younger brothers Tony, Kenny and Jordan are also in the entertainment business. His older half-brother, Charles, died in 2006 after a long struggle with alcoholism. Rock has said that he was influenced by the performing style of his paternal grandfather, Allen Rock, a preacher.
