Halle’s Wearing My Shoes

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

Halle just got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I’m really proud of her. But why did she have to wear my favorite pair of Christian Louboutin shoes for which I’m saving. And saving. And saving. Darn her. Isn’t it enough to be beautiful, rich, an oscar winning actress, having a model turned restauranteur boyfriend? Nooo, she has to be seen in public with the shoes that I WANT!
Not only that, but she looks so good in them.

Here we see not only a bird’s eye view of Halle’s tush, but that give away red leather Louboutin sole. 13475247451press44200732721pm.jpg 13480201.jpg

Pet Peeve — Unpainted Toe Nails in Open Toe Shoes

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I really, really, really hate the look of plain ole toe nails peeking from an open toe shoe or sandal. It just think it’s plain ugly. I see this everyday on the street. And I suppose that’s ok. But when I see celebrities who are making goo gobs of money with naked toe nails, it really irks me. I mean, they spend hundreds of dollars on the shoes for the red carpet occasion. Designers like Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman, Brian Atwood, Manolo Blahnik among others grace their pampered feet. I’m sure they have pedicures before the occasion as well. At least I hope so. (If not, I can hook them up for $15) So why not just put a little paint on those tootsies??? It greatly improves the presentation.

Check out these red carpet unpainted toes:

Oscar Shoe Hits and Misses!

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Well, the best thing about the Academy Awards 2007 is that they are over. I was checking out pictures to see the best shoes, and that was nearly impossible as most of the actresses attending wore dresses that flowed over their over priced shoes. A few crowd pleasers definitely put their best foot forward (best leg, best hip…). Beyonce’ worked the camera and that split in her dress like crazy. Her gorgeous silver beyonce-shoes-oscar.jpg shoes have that platform that gives me the impression that she’s got Gucci on. Just speculation.

A certain miss on the shoe circuit was Lucy Lawless. lucy-2.jpg
She’s just not your glamour girl. And these shoes with her toes hanging off the end, look horrible. Lucy is a tall girl, which i’m sure translates to a big foot (which I have as well), so Lucy, if you are wearing open toed shoes, at least buy your size. This is not a time to skimp. Toes dangling over the ends of your shoes look BAD!

Another sure fire miss was Kanye’s girl Alexis. Skyrocketing platform stilettos combined with an ultra mini dress may work at the club, but not at a black tie affair like the Oscars. Plus the shoes, no matter how much they cost are just plain ugly. Kanye has got great style, so maybe he needs to start a little shoe counseling for his girlfriend eh?kanye-and-alexis.jpg

Model Helena Christiensen hasn’t lost her model talents. Not only does she have on fabulous shoes that work with her gorgeous gown, but she workd the red carpet like a pro. Like a seasoned pro. It’s nice to see that all those years of working the catwalk haven’t gone to waste. So many models look like they haven’t learned a darn thing from years of wearing couture clothing and being draped by the best in design. Helena was an Oscar night shoe HIT!
