Maybe it is a ‘lure’, as in a ‘fishhook’.

The globe is actually a ‘fishbowl’


Quoted from SAC
… Or, perhaps a reference to a type of blues …


Hmm… curious you said that. The names Pink and Floyd, as in ‘Pink Floyd’ come from two of Syd Barrett’s favourite Carolina ‘bluesmen’, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Chorus from ‘Wish You Were Here’:

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here…

Again, we have ‘fishbowl’ a ‘snow globe’ and a snow globe is also similar to purchasing a postcard, or memorabilia from a place you visit with the intent on giving it to someone as a basic greeting of; “Wish you were here”…

The OWC is about a …

Forgot about the red stiletto

I haven’t the foggiest. Coincidence… I think not.

Finally finished the TV pilot i've been working on for 6 months and a re-write of an optioned script. So I may be 'lured' into this - depending on what it is.

What do a Steve Madden stiletto, a fishing lure, and a Chicago snowglobe all have in common?...

... illusion. (I started that as a joke, but gave no satisfying punchline...my bad)

stilettos give the illusion of longer legs and taller height, the lure an illusion of an injured fish ready for the eating and the snowglobe the illusion of a scene in a snowstorm...

Soooo.... illusion theme?

1) Write a bad one

All strange guessing aside, I’m thinking:

The globe suggests a contained environment, in an alley in a city (one way in, one way out), wherein a person is lured into said alley (the contained place) - as Matthew stated, under the context or illusion of another pretext, by a woman or femme fatale type stalker, in stilettos, and, via clever deductive reasoning, that trapped person must find a way out of the situation. Theme is contained crime drama.

However, the ‘red stiletto’ or simply ‘one red shoe’ has carried a deep archetypal meaning throughout the ages and is featured as the underlying or hidden (archetypal) message in many movies/stories, but I’m not sure what it could mean here, if any.

That’s what I got from the clues, unless the next clue throws a wrench into the mechanics of that analysis… if there’s another clue?

Owen gets full marks for thinking outside the box.  

But not Citizen Kane.

Another clue coming in a few minutes.

Btw, the clues will get easier.

Like I said, I have a habit of unwittingly letting the cat out of the bag too soon sometimes.

I’m thinking the theme may be centred around temptation or some sort of enticement. In a snow capped castle in Nowherevania

Easy. Three candles = Three Wicks = John Wick 3 + One red shoe = John Wick 4: John goes in drag to sneak into the Corporation office on a snowy Chicago night because, dammit, they killed his dog!

OK, I’m trying to think way outside of the box here. One last kick at the can before I admit defeat.

The lure (allure), or hooks have a three tier type structure, similar to a candelabra. Then a single shoe, the candles, the glass ball (ballroom).

Glass slipper, chandelier, ball…? A modern-day Cinderella story?

Aa, clues.

so, 66.5 is .5 away from 666. The other clue has "DEVIL" in it. So we're talking about something related to Devil.
And since you have a fish with hooks there, it's a Devil hooking up with someone and having a baby!

Depends, Kham... It might be in the mix of what you write, but strictly speaking, no.
The Devil Wears Prada was not a clue of mine (only the red stiletto) - that was Rick's deviation.
