The church (image via dailymail.co.uk)

In Taiwan, there is a church. It is 55 feet tall, 36 feet wide, made of 320 pieces of glass, *and* looks like a giant high-heeled shoe. Cinderella’s glass slipper, say, but blue.

Now I know what you are thinking. If you are a woman, you are thinking: *I must go to this church!* (If you are a man, you already [already have a church](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/11/christian-science-church-penis%5Fn%5F4254511.html?ref=hyperallergic.com).) And yes, you must go to this church if you are a woman, because fashion. Because, no matter painful and literally harmful beauty norms, the church is *pretty* and reminds you of [*shoes*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCF3ywukQYA&ref=hyperallergic.com). And all is as it should be, because this church was indeed designed for women.

Things we know about this church:

- It will [include](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/peoplesdaily/article-3393680/It-s-not-just-devil-wears-Prada-Taiwanese-town-builds-church-shaped-like-HIGH-HEEL-attract-female-worshippers.html?ref=hyperallergic.com) “a total of 100 female-oriented features … among which 71 have been finished.”
- Said “female-oriented features” include “chairs for ‘lovers,’ maple leaves, biscuits and cakes – all ideal for romantic photographs.”

Things we know about women (and only women):

- They cannot resist maple leaves. They live for romantic photographs.

Things we don’t know about this church:

- What religion or type of worship it is for.

But no matter. Because it is for women.
