Well, I just dropped my husband and his son off at the airport; they are going to Las Vegas to celebrate his 21st birthday (the son's, not the husband's). So, it's just me, the dogs, and this crazy paper (and a bowl of pistachio nuts that I can't stop eating). To cheer myself up, I thought I'd write about one of my favorite subjects: Shoes!
Although I worship Louboutin's, I must admit that my knees went a bit weak when I came across these Giambattista Valli's:

These clearly aren't made for the faint of heart (or walking, for that matter), but you have to admit they are *quite* fabulous. A two-inch platform and five inch heels? Too divine, I say! Says my inner-dominatrix, "Put me up on a pedestal and worship me!"
I'm also mad for Dior (as I've shared in a previous post) and think these are particularly amazing...
...and these...
...and these... (with a high-waisted pencil skirt, please)
Gots to be careful in Dior plats, though - oopsie daisy!
Worth every sprained ankle and broken wrist - they're fabulous!
Well, I've come to the point in the day where I need to focus on my paper - I'm in the home-stretch! However, left all alone and itchy with spring fever, I can tell it will be a brutal battle between me and my arch-enemy, boredom.
If Monday comes and I've cut off all my hair and dyed it black - you'll know I lost the battle.

Ok, if you are going to be a shoe model, you have to avoid the crazy little toe that is sneaking out the straps (see the white platform pair). EEEWWWW!!
5 inch heels are akin to chinese footbinding in my mind (and my arches and my ankles and my back.) I know beauty should know no pain but why do I have to wear boring unattractive shoes if I simply desire a little comfort and the ability to walk at a brisk pace. Why are shoe designers so limited in their thinking? I thought they all liked to believe they are oh so original, yet most seemed to have jumped on the if its going to be stylish then it's 4 inches and higher bandwagon. I find it difficult to find a really attractive heel under 4" (I might as well go root thru my mother's closet, ahhh!) God bless the women who can wear them without pain but what about the rest us. Okay, I'm done crying. Thank for this opportunity to vent and if by some chance a Dior, Guess or BCBG rep is reading this, I am talking to you!
