Three French Hens Lay Uggs

15 12 2008

On the third day of Ugg-ness shoes of the day gave to me, 3 Uggs – Coquettes, 72 degree uggs and a pair of Uggs with a Cedar shoe tree.

Why?  Because these just sound french – say it out loud.  Come on, no one is listening. The shoes of the day: Ugg Slippers

Ugg supple slippers are not recommended for hurling at a President, as they are fully lined in the highest quality plush, luxurious sheepskin for comfort and warmth and detailed with a furry collar for added style.



They’re Back!

30 09 2008

I just returned from a trip to the UK and found these on display in all their collective glory: REEBOK LIFESTYLES!

Reebok Lifestyle shoes

I think the last time I saw these shoes was on a PBS aerobics special back in ’85 – Eat your heart out Richard!

You play varsity? You’re gonna need a pair for next semester; Supportive leather upper is soft and comfortable. Sculpted EVA midsole offers lightweight cushioning. High abrasion rubber outsole affords traction and durability.

Time to get in shape girls!

And who said Reebok shoes were all that bad?

Yoze Kubrik Platform Pumps

3 10 2007

Thanks to the ‘JetSet‘ one of our faithful readers for submitting this ‘shoe of the day’ review! Azucar, you rock! Bettys and other assorted skirts, listen up to a woman’s shoe expert and enjoy writing that is as good as these shoes!

“An intricate network of bronze wire anchors mirror-like sequins on these shimmering peep-toes. Bronze wire over leather? An entire shoe of mirror sequins? Yes, please! I think I’d wear these, uhm, everywhere. Down to Albertson’s, to pick up the mail, maybe even to the IFA. And at $1165, you’d have to wear them everywhere to make the most out of them.

A word about my friend Christian Louboutin. He is one of the world’s premiere shoe makers. He’s obsessed with the architecture and design of shoes. Louboutin’s first signature is a platform that allows the wearer comfort while propelling their feet into dizzying heights. The pitch of your foot isn’t as severe as the shoe looks at first glance all because of that platform. Four inch heels, that sounds about right.

The second signature? All Louboutin shoes have red leather soles. The story goes that Christian was pondering a pair of pumps one day and trying to figure out what was missing. His secretary was painting her nails with a Chanel fire red polish–I guess the French are OK with painting nails in front of bosses. He took one look at that bottle of Chanel and snatched it out of the secretary’s hand. He painted the bottom of the previously perplexing pumps and viola! A true Louboutin has a red sole, how delicious.”

The shoes of the day that come with a built-in platform: Louboutin Kubrick sequin leather 4 inch Plats.

The Most Successful Shoe Of All-Time! What’s Up Chuck?

6 09 2007

The Chuck Taylor All-Stars were first produced by Converse in 1917, that is 5 years after the sinking of the Titanic for all you DiCaprio lovers. “I’m the King of the World!” Chuck thought the same thing, when he made the canvas and rubber-soled shoes his preferred shoe of choice by putting his stamp of approval on its ankle patch and in the history books as the most successful shoe of all time.

Think of the demographic that has enjoyed these shoes through the years: The basketball players, the skaters, the punk-rockers, sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies – they all adore them. They think these are righteous shoes.

The perfect shoe for all…no, for fall! They even come in “Harvest Pumpkin.” Go ahead Bettys, I’ll say it with you; “Oh, cute.”

Enjoy the shoes of the day: Converse Men’s, Betty’s and Chillin’s All-Star Ox, I mean Oxen. These Converse are Oxen!
