wacky wednesday: fetish pointe boots

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Last year we posted Christian Louboutin’s fetish heels which were being both critically acclaimed and witch hunted with burning stakes and pitch forks all at the same time. Christian Louboutin had created his shoes for an art exhibit and had stated, quite matter-of-factly, that they were not designed to be of use in the everyday. Looks like someone didn’t get the memo. Beyonce and her dancers wore the pointe stilettos in a music video, but we’ll still classify that as “artistic representation”. It’s one thing to grin and bear it for a fashion, but these shoes aren’t even pretty or sexy or any other word you equate with good shoes. They just look bizarre and “costumey” and…well, fetish. Well, I guess that is the point, after all, no offense to those who use these in “play”, but thank God this look hasn’t caught on in Hollywood as an actual fashion trend…or have we spoken to soon? Knock on wood.

Fetish Boots available here.

old shoedish passes on shoes…

Originally uploaded by shoedish

Here’s more proof that shoedish is getting old. Last night we spoke to Momma Shoedish, courtesy of Skype, about a new pair of shoes we recently purchased. Living in Spain makes buying shoes in the US rather difficult, so we have Momma Shoedish order them for us. She informed us previously via email that the shoes had arrived and that we’d “love” them. MS has good shoe taste as well (it’s in the blood). Anyhoot, she was planning on bringing them with her when she comes to visit in July.
Momma Shoedish: Did you get my email about the shoes?
Shoedish: Yes, but don’t bring them with you.
Momma Shoedish: Why?
Shoedish: Because that’s stupid. I’ll only be able to wear them for 3 weeks and then I’ll just have to find space for them to get them home.
Momma Shoedish: But I thought you wanted them?
Shoedish: I do, but I already have too much crap and I don’t want to deal with them.

Wha? Oh, my!!! What has happened to us? The young shoedish would never have passed on her new shoes; she would have found a way to make it work. We are a pathetic old shoe fart…

embellished lace-up stiletto from ysl

Originally uploaded by shoedish

The Shoe Dish and her twin in all things shoe have officially marked the 2008 birthday calendar. Shoedish turned and year older and a shoe day wiser today. Yay! and Eeek! This was not a super thrilling fantastical and exciting birthday for us. Last year was cool; nothing special really, but cool enough. But this new age is sitting well with us. Shoedish is now convinced that she is officially getting old. It’s only a few years now until we start calling our coveted stilettos our “one hour” shoes and opting on flats as an everyday shoe option. Is it cliche of me to equate this with getting older? Probably, but the thought exhausts me. Oh, it hurts my little black shoe heart to think of it. I know it’s stupid, call it the disease of the quarter life, but I can’t bear the thought of a life in kitten heels and loafers.

*In honor of our birthday, we’re posting these shoe love folie t-strap stilettos from Yves Saint Laurent. We loves to love to love you!

victoria secret: gladiator platform sandals

Originally uploaded by shoedish

It’s a salapalooza going on right now at Victoria’s Secret; must be the remnants of Memorial Day. Shop Victoria Secret now to experience their 20 to 40% off select shoe styles, like these red or python-embossed t-strap sandals. Yummy!!! Shoedish is such a sucker for the t-strap, but we’re even more entranced by the extreme cut-out look (ie. strap-happy) of this summer and fall’s shoe trends. Plus, if the above weren’t reasons enough, these pretty peeps are only $50! Gladiator-inspired with a sneaky snakeskin finish and affordable…what more could a shoe girl ask for? Shoedish has a birthday tomorrow and we think that occasion affords some pretty new shoes.

Who wants to buy these for us :)
