I used to think that these were the ugliest, stupidest shoes I had ever seen:
Yes, they are split at the big toe like cow hooves. How in bloody hell did anyone think this was a good idea? The woman in the photo above is Sarah Jessica Parker. Jesus. How can she go from gorgeous Manolo Blahnik pumps to these monstrosities? Seriously, how much money did they pay her to put these on and be photographed in them? No matter how much, it wasn't enough. No surprise, she was never seen in them again.
Can you even believe this??? And these aren't the worst of them - just the best photo I could find. See that thing in the middle? The models were wearing ankle boots like that that were painted to look like bugs. I am not kidding. All of the models were wearing these ridiculous shoes and could barely walk. The dresses, hair and makeup were all completely hideous and you could just tell the models were thinking "Please, Lord, just get me off this runway without breaking a leg so I can hide somewhere and reclaim my life."

These, gentle readers, are just a few of the creations from Alexander McQueen's collection for spring/summer 2010:

Doesn't she look beautiful and glamorous? Don't you just wanna run right out and get a dress and shoes like this? Aren't you glad millions of dollars were spent creating and unveiling this "highly anticipated" collection? Haven't you always wanted to go out to dinner looking like a giant moth? BARF.
So dumb. This is why real people don't "get" high fashion. It's a completely stupid useless waste of time and money. If there is one good reason in the world why these shoes or ugly-ass clothes should exist I would like to know what it is.
Amen to that BS! It goes back in history that snobs use fear to keep the outsiders out to protect what they have (all be it, boring BS that it is). Fashion snobs (FS) are a whole bread in themselves. Is their the FS fear base crashing? Are FS's drumming up more fear? Is it so bad they are looking like bugs to aid in the FS fear base?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I could go on.. but what a bunch of FS BS!!! I gotta 20% off to Kohl's, any one want to go? Luv ya! MJ
omg, I didn't notice the heel on the SJP ones, which makes them SO MUCH WORSE. I was thinking that they were pretty ugly, but maybe I could see it... maybe they were some aerodynamic, ergonomic hippie shoes, but the heel completely negates any ideas I ever had about those shoes being worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteand the camel toe shoes???! It's bad enough women would have to worry about that problem a little further up on their wardrobe ;)
ReplyDeleteI went to Mt. Mary...a school for Fashion (design and merchandising) and nobody in their right mind would create something to kill another (aka, the shoes with the turned in heel)...not to mention, making a model look like they hate their job (the pissed off "moth" below). Stupid, Stupid, Stupid...and it's too bad, too - because I've always admired him as a designer, and got to see a shit load of his stuff just this last spring in NYC...and I swore (I may have to take this back) that I wanted a funky wedding gown from him, or another, more feminine one from Vera Wang.... It looks like I'll be opting for the second choice. (O.K.... so it's not like I could afford either... but a girl can dream ;) Lol)
