Oh My!



This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen:

Call the fashion police.

As someone who once wore 4 and 5 inch heels (I wear only sneakers and sandals now), I am loathe to criticize footwear.

I once wore pixy shoes in a play and wondered then how long it would be for some shoe designer to discover them.

Heels, especially very high ones, deserve all the opprobrium that is heaped upon them. These boots are absurd... they're not even good for killing cockroaches in corners!

Z said...

They come here to take our money .... but they can sure afford amazing shoes at home, huh?
How do stand in LINE in those shoes!? awful! Maybe one can SKI in them?

Chuck said...

Gonna be hard to run across the border in a pair of those.

Trekkie4Ever said...

Egad! Those are truly the most heinous shoes I have ever laid my eyes on.

Mexicans sure live up to their reputation of being ignorant. *shaking head* This really takes the cake.

CUBE...off topic, did you hear Imus this AM?
I was kind of proud of him asking why the heck ARNOLD would have had sex with a housekeeper...he's a movie star, was married to Maria, "why would he DO this?"
then he went on and I realized it wasn't about why would he have sex out of his marriage but why would he do it with his housekeeper when he was a big star and could get someone better!?
Man, has our world degraded or what?!

Z said...

Chuck, that's true. Maybe Homeland Security ought to invest in SHOES, the FENCE sure isn't working so far!

cube said...

Z: You can't drive with those things either. All they're good for is lifting up some girl's skirt.

Chuck: Hmmmm, good point. Maybe we should be encouraging this fad ;-)

Leticia: I'm shaking my head over this myself.

Horrible. What are they thinking?

cube said...

Z: I heard the part where Imus was asking why Arnold would do such a thing, but not the rest. I'm not surprised though because they can get nasty on that show. Imus isn't one to talk... Dierdre would snap him like a twig if he were to pull a stunt like Arnold's.

BTW what do you think of the show now that Charles is gone?

Those are some intense fashion statements. I go to Mexico city about once a month on business and thankfully have not seen anyone running around in these yet. Don't know what I would do if I did. Thankfully, because of The Blog I am now forewarned. Wow!

cube said...

Louis H.: I don't think thinking is involved in the decision to wear these hideous boots.

Brooke said...

They look like skis. Ridiculous!

Karen K said...

WTF???
