A bizarre email pinged into his inbox reminded Guru of the above named erotic 'drama' series on cable television in the 1990s.
Guru spent many a happy hour admiring the fine acting and well crafted dialogue of the Red Shoe Diaries. But now Guru is a fully fledged consenting adult, his tastes have changed somewhat - but that's another story.
Anyway, back to the present, and disciple Barry has emailed on behalf of his manager to ask whether the Personnel Today team knew where he could buy a pair of the red high heels featured on the front page of the 19 August issue (pictured here).
Now, being the discreet individual he is, Guru will protect his surname and organisation that Barry - if that is his real name - works at. But Guru is not sure what is more worrying; the fact that someone actually got in touch to ask the question, or that Barry emailed on behalf of his manager.
Come on Barry, is it you that likes the heels? Are they for wearing at the weekend when you prefer to be called Barbara? Guru is an open-minded sort of guy, you can be honest with him...
Note to readers... if you happen to be looking for work in the south west of England and visit the official organisation responsible for finding jobs, sneek a peak under the desk and check out the HR manager's footwear.
