Shoes, shoes! I love shoes!
Shoes are sexy. I love sexy things. Ergo, I love shoes.
I especially love red shoes. I couldn’t decide which ones to bring to Dallas, but here is what I ended up packing.
I especially love this pair of Lulu Guiness pumps. They have hearts and diamonds on them. I’ve worn them once. Sometimes I just take them out and pet them. They’re so pretty.
I understand the need for comfort shoes, I really do. But tell me, what if Madonna was wearing black clogs in this picture? That wouldn’t be sexy.
And here is a picture of one of my favorite icons, Bettie Page. Just picture her in flip-flops. I mean, who can wield a whip in flip-flops?
And so I leave you with this poem by Liam Rector
Under The Spell Of Shoe
I’ve made a point, over the years, perhaps even a moral point,
Of never having sex with any of the wives of my best men friends.
The closest I came
Was once when I was living alone, house-sitting a Jamesian
House in Chevy Chase, and one of my best friends and his wife
Were spending the weekend
And they went up to bed. The woman left her pair of shoes on
The floor, on the rug, and I was quite stoned, and I wandered over
And picked up
One of the shoes, and I held the shoe, and, staring deeply into what
I took to be the essence of my friend’s wife as she embodied the shoe
And the shoe embodied her,
I imagined her and me fucking each other senseless. It was
Great, and it did no real nor lasting damage to the marriage,
As far as I could tell.

Where did you find that poem? I love it!
Yeah I love shoes. I like heels, it’s just the wearing part that sucks so bad. I wish I could strut around in them with no pain.
Actually, I can. But I have to be completely drunk when I do it.
And only you would have that many pairs of red shoes! This is why I love you.

Personally, I think Madonna would look great in clogs. With a little beret on her head. And be-dazzle some sequins onto a pair of flip flops, and Bettie would still be a sex kitten. A glittery one.
Though I do love those Lulu’s….

Have to agree — Madonna would look sexy in anything, and I think it would be okay wield a whip in flip-flops. . .little black rubber numbers with rhinestones… and they give you traction.
In the name of all obsessions, however, I respect yours, since we all have our own, though I’ll never get the shoe thing. :)
Like the poem — it’s almost Robert Frostish…

I have dreams about strutting around in 4-inch stilletos…then I wake up with a cramp in my foot. sigh…I just wish I could wear them in real life.

I like looking at shoes-beautiful sexy heels. But as soon as I put them on-I’m falling and taking the nearest person down with me. It never fails. So I just have to look at them with longing. *sigh*

I love those strappy little red ones, those are hot! I’m not huge into shoes, I do bras, they’re sexy too! lol

I have a lingerie fetish, too. I think I have about 30 bras. At least.
When I see those pics of my shoes all I can think about is replacing our carpet.

I love shoes, in theory. They’re pretty and sexy … and impossible to walk in.
What about boots? I’ve got like 5 or 6 pairs of black leather boots. Come on, there’s gotta be something sexy about steel toed boots.

Yes, Samantha! I love bras!!!

I love shoes, too. Very much. And I have many, many pair. But I just realized I don’t have a single pair of red shoes.

red heels skewer fall shadows

Wow, Zach! Nice haiku! I am inspired:
There once was a teacher of high school
who realized her shoes were just not cool.
So she threw out the Lame-Os,
And bought Bandolinos
Which made all the faculty drool.
(Um, drooling as in “she looks good.” Not “wow, those Great Gatsby essays was so bad they killed my last brain cells.”)

SHOES
For the record, you can do a lot of whip damage wearing flip-flops.
The difference between the shoes you’re referring to and flip flops? A hot red pedicure and my cute toes peeking out.

[…] to figure out how to get away with fifteen pairs or less of pumps. In fact, last summer I made this post about shoes. I think those were the just the red shoes I brought with me to RWA.So now? […]
