sHOE tUESDAY- poorly sick
No Shoe Tuesday music today- it’s too loud.
I am sick today- my stomach is making noises like a Galleon rolling on the high seas and my tongue is covered in brown fur. It’s either something I ate recently, or the toll taken by changing meal times constantly whilst jet-setting between England and here.
(The food in England was excellent by the way, Smoked Mackerel, real ale, clotted cream and scones every day).
The one thing that’s pulling me through is the thought that I’m shaping shoe fashion for the ages, as I’m sure you already know.
When I was back in the UK there was a story about Victoria Beckham (ex-Bananarama, wife of Gary Lineker) wearing a pair of painful looking heelless shoes. No doubt I don’t even have to mention that she got the idea from this post.

Then when strolling through the arcades of People’s Square subway station (birthplace of all fashion) I came across not one, but two Shoe bags.
I may be ill, but I’m still sick with the shoe fashion yo.
I applaud you valiantly shaking off your sickness long enough to give us some shoe news- and don’t worry about the music, it gave the whole experience a more spiritual aspect to look at the shoes in the early morning silence- rather like sitting in the darkness of a Buddhist temple in the middle of a Korean national park as the sun rises.
By the way, I am going to Rio tomorrow!!! Wish me luck!
i think those victoria is wearing are from marc jacobs, it’s a pretty genius idea, would love to try them on and walk with them a bit.
I think they would look great on you Shopgirl. If you wore those, I might consider dating you.
Woai – Right, because the shoes are what attracts you to the women.
Shopgirl with those shoes would just put her further up out of your league….
You should get sick every Tuesday. Excellent showing here. I kinda want a shoe bag. Is that wrong?
Kristi it’s wrong and what’s more you know it!
Mark – Yes, but everyone has to have their dreams.
Shopgirl- Marc Jacobs did something kind of similar, but VB’s shoes are by Antonio Berardi.
Shoe bags are the way forward- you can try and resist if you like, but this time next year you’ll all have one. ALL OF YOU!
don’t threaten me with bad taste, swiss! those shoe bags are terrible, absolute SHITE.
we all have to have goals, shopgirl.
oh, BTW i hope you feel better james – that’s what happens when you eat non-tainted food! =P
Yes James stay away from England in future, your body can’t readjust to the purity levels and lack of toxic chemicals now that you’ve become dependent.
I think the shoe bag issue is going the way of the man bag issue. We all made fun of the guys that carry them just a few months ago and now we all carry one everywhere we go.
I didn’t think about that but you could be right- I drank lots of milk when I was back there and the lack of Melamine probably knocked my system for 6.
WoAi I agree on the shoe bag issue too, they all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round you know.
actually- on man bags, on the plane they had an episode of “Rules of Engagement” (US sitcom that’s about 1/5th as good as Friends). One of the characters was given a messenger bag by his fiancee and the other male characters made fun of it.
I think we were supposed to laugh at the bag as well, but the whole thing seemed really old fashioned and daft. It was obviously a man’s bag, and it looked pretty good, I couldn’t see the problem.
You don’t and won’t see Manolo making those any time soon!
Is it me or it’s kind of scary if a MEN knows the designer who designed those shoes better than a WOMAN? I guess there are some real SHOE ADDICTS out there, not to mention SHOE SLUTS… :p
Miss Jane, James’ apartment is chock full of ladies shoes and they all look a bit large for his fiance’s feet.
He’s got the serious Shoepaholic syndrome! I wonder if Metrosexual has a direct translation into Chinese yet!
Nah- I just read an article in the Guardian that talked about Mrs Beckham’s shoes.
Shame on you Dingle anyway, you know Emma is very sensitive about her enormous feet.
