today's word rocks.

this is totally why i love the english. seriously. why say something like 'gwyneth wore really tall shoes' or 'gywenth totally rocked the stilettos' when you can say something like this? 

"She arrived at the screening in vertiginous stilettos and short skirt, virtually guaranteeing coverage for the premiere in all the major newspapers the next day."

so, yes, today's word: vertiginous, adjective

1. whirling; spinning;rotary: vertiginous currents of air.

2. affected with vertigo; dizzy.

3. liable or threatening to cause vertigo: a vertiginous climb.
