  OH MANOLO::His Fetish Ferragamos en Homage

  7 saves, 10 days ago

  Raise hands who knows Mr Sex & the City, here, used to sell shoes from a stall at Camden Market [I think] & did them for shows by Ossie Clark, etc & ect. Raise hands who can at least contemplate this fab pair's evolution from Ferragamo's Invisibles & their descendants? [how I hope my pair of impossible to find Invisibles will actually be findable in my storage, not stolen by my movers. I can dream, cant i.] Who else can elaborate the secret that he or she has NEVER seen Sex & the City? [My sister watched it, probably for the guys & the dish. She said I would know every designer they mentioned but she knew none. All true. I suppose it is time to return to the livid living now.] Great shoes, in the Met's collection, Manolo B's from 2006. Dont you wish they were yrs, mine, ours, everyones?

  MANIATIS B::More & Going for the Gold

  7 saves, 10 days ago

  .....in its thigh high scalloped trim. Astonishing. Next decade, they hit the true hundred mark. We can now only consider them pre-antique, & far far before their time. I'd put them on my wishlist [even if i do not DO these things], if i thought any hope of acquiring them were possible. Their home is the Met.

  MANIATIS BOTTIER::At the Met!

  7 saves, 10 days ago

  It is not my scene, although like all good first gen punkrockers, I spent entirely too much time scratching about its edges, largely for semi-legal [i was way underage], semi-gainful, semi-interesting, semi-dreadful employment. Now you can find these for a hundred bucks via knockeroffers such as Pleaser. Then you could find a single perfect, startling, eerie pair hanging from hooks at the Pleasure Chest, when the shop disquieted & not simply titilated its patrons, before it entered tne mainstream. Now you can find such boots ANYwhere--& LSB has nothing on these antiques! They, in their red & their black, specifically noted hereupon & the best I have yet eyed, these reside at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The demi- have become ultra-mondaine. [More on curators fetishes upon my corner of the blogguerie, poltergasm--if I ever upload it. Smells like tomorrow, actually.]

  BRIAN ATWOOD::Solid Gold

  24 saves, 1 month ago

  Almost Solid Gold Dancer--but not quite. Did I mention I have two hundred pairs of shoes? Did I mention a hitherto unknown fondness I find in myself for metallics? Oh, okay--not that unknown, I spraypainted all the furniture in my shop silver about ten years ago [when I had an IRL shop]. But these are truly fetching. Someone undoubtedly found them before did I, but theyre worth a second looksee.

  Louboutin::Does Limitless Lim

  4 saves, 3 months ago

  Another view, same amazing shoes. I'll have you know, whoever you may be, that I am a vintage dealer & owner, in both personal & professional capacity [as someone must say] of at least two hundred [200] pair of platforms shoes. Are this season's Lim's Louboutins the best ever? I ask you. I will post one resource after this for yr decision. PS. There are some sans spikes or plats, but they leave me uninterested [as per usual]. You will need to click thru to see them.

  Louboutin::Does Lim, v.2.x

  7 saves, 7 months ago

  Similar but not identical in style to the patent metallics presented by the same designer/s, same show, they are also available in red, in tanned flesh beige &, slightly more removed, w/ fringe. All are superEstimable & need far than one bookmark to convey their ability to astound, even via an Imac screen.

  Shoes From the Shows - The New York Times > Fashion

  9 saves, 9 months ago

  I like his thoroughly original sci-fi metallics better but would someone want to donate a pair of these to me [w/ or sans the crime tape Pradas], oh heavens to everyone's Betsey, I would not turn them down. Paricularly fond of the fancy mosaic business, the polka dots & that they are being kept from explosion by patent leather lanyard straps.

  PRADA::Mixed Metaphors in 2009

  10 saves, 9 months ago

  I love them, I do. How could anyone not love a mixture of super mega high, black patent leather, lizard or snake or one or another of nature's predators &--is it ribbon? Let's move at, hmmmmm..... breakneck speed & say it is--But what's w/ the crime scene tape? Speaking as one who has actually, yep, fallen off a pair of platform shoes & cracked an ankle right across the malleolus I have to note that the only crime I can see committed herew/ would be one one does to onesself--unless one feels like poking that steep stiletto deep into the heart of a somewhat recently loved one. Now, that I can see.
